Test Drive Nissan Juke since 2010 SUV

Baby Nissan Juke with a 190-strong motor

The little Nissan Juke with a turbine and a capacity of 190 horsepower gives to seal, balancing on a fine face between tension and discharge ... sometimes in advertising you can find the truth. Here, for example, in the Nissan Juke brochure, they write about the unrestrained energy that breaks into the city to destroy stereotypes, change the usual look of streets and fill the usual day with a new exciting rhythm.


True truth. Swear. I at first resisted. I thought again advertisers zombie me, but then I traveled for a few days and surrendered. Really, they hit the point. When you go to Juke, you feel like a schoolboy, which forty-four minutes waited for a call, and finally scrapping runs to the cherished door with rampant energy.

 
Millions of years ago there was a sea. A little later a glacier. Now in this place we walk the Japanese-German tandem

I do not sit in him
You can buy two Nissan Juke options. One low-power, the other with the turbine. But it seems that few people are interested. Mostly all the conversations around the design. Many people bought a novelty, which is called, on the ad. We looked out the money made money. They don't care what kind of acceleration is accompanied by a trunk and whether it will move the log. I am already silent about the quality of finishing materials, the front panel architecture, the spacious on the rear seats and other Mishur. Fraining people are easy to understand. Their gusts are quite humane and explained. But there is another part of the audience. These are those who, only looking at the novelty, immediately struck it out of a list of potential purchases, not even asking how much gasoline she eats. I gave one such refusal from pure curiosity gone to sit down and drive a couple of meters. Amazingly, she rested tightly: do not sit in this freak. In a word, the design was able to be indifferent.

 
In the town.
If street artists did not prefer to drive on scooters, they would go to Nissan Juke

Compromison in the bushes
I have the appearance of the least disturbed. But I immediately noted that this is a good car in almost all of its manifestations. For a large man, he is cleared, but the rest here is convenient to sit and use all the functions, except for heating seats. The last button is stubborn so far away that everyone who tried to look for her on the go long lie in the roadside ditch. Nissan Juke has a lot of exposure for the knees of the rear passengers, but at the same time insignificantly enough for their heads. Relieved friends will not send a gallery. You can say about a convenient trunk, easily transforming in the cargo compartment when folding the rear seats. Although he, of course, is small. But the main 190-strong JUKE accelerates as an airplane and dives into any hole formed in a road stream, and wonders do on off-road.



The front bumper is beveled under the right off-road angle. The headlights resemble the sealant drops, squeezed from under the hood cover. Voca combat

It remains to answer the only question: why don't I like him? The reason naturally, in the most exciting rhythm filling the usual day. In a painful concern, a very familiar one who at least once in life was forced to wait, tolerate, languish. It is born at the moment when the vibrations from the body and the suspension merge with the jerk dynamics, jumping on the bumps. When the total hurrying aura of small trays is superimposed on the hidden force that fills the Juke. An unhealthy desire for marketers is guilty to find a compromise between two incompatibilities: lie under the client and make fan car. You can go on the first path and will get Qashqai. If you choose the second, MINI will be born. The compromise creates the association with the lesson by Skeloir, doomed forever rush, but never find peace.


Speedometer Although it is pretty, but in the lower position of the steering wheel is still not visible

And eats as an adult
The rest of Nissan Juke is beautiful. Yes, you have to leave the luggage at home, and the basketball team in the back row does not sit down. But he is fast and bold, like a haircut, and if you suddenly find yourself on off-road, then quickly appreciate his passability. It would still, because he has low weight, short skes and an angle of longitudinal passability of 23 degrees than other famous SUVs. Cheerful jerk from the place and the correct anti-resistance system allows you to pass complex areas without unnecessary overclocking.

Maneuvering in a dense city traffic, feel the extraordinary obedience of the car, and parking on any penaccus, chasing the dimensions. If someone breaks up that Juke with a turbogo non-varnish and in general the lady's handbag, answer the violating: but eats an adult, almost fourteen liters. And let him shut up. And you will continue to enjoy the ergonomic central console, made in the form of a fuel tank of the motorcycle, bends of the inner handles of doors, similar to handcuffs, and many other adult toys.

In fact, there is unexpectedly a lot of space in the knees. But above his head is not enough


Transformation.
On the one hand, the floor of the trunk is smooth, and on the other trunk too high. In any case, this typewriter is not for cargo transportation

Caution, technical details
Juke is created on the total front-wheel drive platform B of the Renault Nissan alliance. And only the most expensive version, with a 190-strong gasoline 16-valve MR16DT engine, is completed with the All-Mode 4x4-i transmission, with an automatic connection of the rear axle.

The engine is docked with the Klinorem Machine Xtronic CVT, which allows forced switching to six fixed gear ratios. The differential is an electronic-managed multi-line coupling. The Torque Vectoring System system distributes the moment between the rear wheels, ensuring controllability and instant response to the driver's actions. Thanks to the rear axle electrofitts, the system can transmit up to 50% of the entire torque to the outer wheel. Thus, the crying of the car is monitored and insufficient turning is suppressed.
