What you see above is the 5-seater Nissan Juke crossover. It looks familiar because it is based on the Nissan Qazana concept that was previewed in Geneva last year. This crossover is underpinned by Renault-Nissan’s B-Platform and measures 4 meters long, 1,765mm wide and 1,570 meters tall. Its wheelbase measures 2,500mm. This makes it a size smaller than the Rogue/Qashqai/Dualis.
The crossover (which looks a little weird if you ask me) will be sold in Europe, Japan and in the United States. There are several engine options including a 1.6 litre normally-aspirated engine with 117hp and a turbocharged version of the engine that can output 190hp and 240Nm of torque. Diesel fans don’t worry as Nissan also has a 110hp 1.5 litre dCi unit for the Juke. This unit also produces 240Nm of torque.
Transmission wise potential buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual cog box or a continuously variable transmission. Apart from a standard front wheel drive setup buyers can also opt for an ALL-MODE 4×4-i system. The Juke will premier at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, till then you can feast on some images after the jump.

I quite like the car funky design, its kinda reminds me of Citroen (possibly, because Nissan has tie up with Renault too). The thing that I don't like is the roofline, its very sharp and doesn't go well with the round body. Resembles GTR roofline too.
more like nissan joke than juke…
It looks so good, I want to have one!
370z butt… lol.. but kudos to the fact that this is basically what was previewed in the Qazana concept in terms of looks..
the frontal look…
it hurts my eyes…..
u hate it at first, but its attractive
this car looks like wrongly designed…
its ugly to me…
ugly…but nice interior
looks like a frog… froggy.
Cant help thikin d Nissan March designer desided to design a cross-country March with a touch of Dualis(front), C30(rear) n Swift(side).
thats what u get when u add 1 part porsche cayenne and 1 part volvo xc90 to 2 parts nissan murano. by far the 3 ugliest looking suvs ever made.
weird looks…
i dont like it…
dont wanna scratch the center console..
I like the design.. very cute.
looks awesome…much better than any proton
Very cool car!! Love at first sight.. But a bit disappointed by the interior..
Why can't we see something like this from our proton?
Proton simply not seriously doing the business like korean, and many malaysian still feel sympathy to believe in PROTON, not becos we we like proton of what it did for the past years or achievements (any good one?) but becos it is our home grown brand ! am i rite?
just imagine if Proton is from Thai, and for the past 20 years they feed us with all the cars models with cheap quality and too without proper replacement model in schedule, and many many others craps, wat would you all say about it??
now i wanna buy a new 2.0 local make car, should I get the Perdana which appear on the road almost 10 years d??
I hope proton don;t use up our quota, we all know with the money we pay on ur craps, we actually can get a better pieceof metal from japs, now even korean..
don't take us for granted.. a govt company doesn't mean you have the absolute ACE card in your hand, business is business, no matter how, you have to fight for yourself in the market, if not you gonna be eaten up by market..
org perempuan pasti tertawan
i wish this car will come to malaysia soon. erm… will it be cheaper then murano 20%?? haha.. ^ _ ^
this model gives an idea of the combination of enhanced design of march(front) + 370Z (rear)…
Fugly…..I think hyundai tucson is much better
