Nissan Juke 1.5 RX

Joker Face
Unique-faced and ready to disrupt the opponent in the range of USD 250 million.

Do you remember the face of the Joker, a fictional character created by DC Comic cartoon as a mortal enemy of Batman? Yes, that's the impression we are now seeing a glimpse of the face in the parking lot of Nissan Juke Hard Rock Hotel Bali, Kuta, on May 16, 2011 last. Juke was born from a Nissan design studio in Europe, and PT Nissan Motor Indonesia (NMI) has been assembled (CKD) at Nissan's plant in Cikampek, West Java.

Juke fairly bold design for the Indonesian market. Therefore, looks like the Joker is not unusual, when compared with the face of its competitors, such as the Kia Sportage is sweet and futuristic, the Hyundai Tucson is tempting, Honda CR-V is an elegant, or a Suzuki Grand Vitara is firm and strong. We also have opinions about the design Juke: consumers may prefer once or not at all.

Nissan called the Juke as a blend of SUV and 'compact sports coupe', and placing it as a new generation with the nickname 'compact sport crossover'. Thanks to the application design inspired from the word 'robotics' and 'biotic', produced 'Robiotic', a term for the concept design Nissan Juke.

Juke and rear facade inspired by designs Nissan Z-car or Fairlady. This can be seen from the rear lamp design boomerang model (typical Aboriginal weapon) and also used Nissan 370 Z. While the design resembles the Murano grille, headlights and multilevel concept came from a rally car fog lamp Nissan 240 Z. No wonder the variety of design collaboration are present in the self-made crossover platform B Juke is appearing masculine, but still dynamic as a coupe.

There is still another uniqueness in exterior Juke, which is opening the door handles are hidden in the pillar behind the glass, so that the Juke does not have a back door such as a two-door coupe. When we walked into the cabin, the interior design of the Juke is not too 'splashy' like exterior. Precisely we liked the cabin layout color combination of black on the dashboard, door trim, and upholstery with color 'gun metallic' in the center console-like motor gasoline tank.

We drove the route Juke-Bedugul Kuta beach-Pecatu. Mechanical heart coded HR15DE petrol, powerful 114 hp at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 150 Nm at 4,000 rpm. This machine belongs to a similar base Livina. But on the Juke, Nissan update this machine with a dual injector technology affixes per cylinder and the 'dual variable valve timing (CVVT) for intake and exhaustnya, so that consumption of more fuel-efficient, and we prove it on the screen MID (multi information display) in the cluster meter shows 11.6 kpl.read more
