5 reasons to buy the 2015 Nissan Juke

1. Bold and unique exterior

If you're a non-conformist, there's no easier way to say it than with a 2015 Nissan Juke. The bold exterior features massive running lights and turn signals on top of the hood and large round headlights near the grille, while the profile shows off massive wheel arches and a sharply cut roofline. Its funky looks, fun colors, and multiple available wheel options mean you can find the Juke that fits your head-turning style.

2. Turbocharged engine

Under that unique hood is a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder engine making 188 horsepower. Paired with a CVT handling shifting, the drivetrain combo is quick off the line thanks to reaching peak torque at just 1,600 rpm. The Juke is a sports car among the smallest crossovers, easily outperforming most of the competition during on-ramp acceleration or carving a twisty rural road.

3. AWD traction

When the weather isn't cooperating, the 2015 Nissan Juke has optional all-wheel drive for all-weather traction. While front-wheel drive is standard, the Juke's torque-vectoring AWD is worth looking for. This smart system can send 50% of engine power side-to-side or front-to-rear for maximum traction. If you're braving icy streets to make it to work, or traversing muddy roads to get to the fishing spot, the Juke's AWD can get you there.

4. Cargo solutions

The 2015 Juke seats up to five, but rear passengers should be younger or shorter due to the aggressively sloped roofline. Cargo space is solid for a subcompact, with 10.5 cu-ft (approximately two checked bags and two carry-ons), but fold the rear seats down, and cargo space more than triples to 35.9 cu-ft. FWD models have a large additional storage space under the rear cargo floor. You can put valuable items such as a laptop in there, securely tucked away out of sight.

5. Performance trims

Like the 2015 Juke but looking for even more spice? You should check out the 2015 Nissan Juke NISMO and NISMO RS trims. The NISMO trim bumps horsepower to 197, while the NISMO RS pushes it to 215. Both trims feature revised front and rear facias, a unique body kit, and a rear spoiler. The NISMO RS adds black 18-inch wheels, Recaro® sport seats, and an optional six-speed manual transmission when paired with FWD.
