Nissan promotes the JUKE's "purposeful, masculine exterior styling," claiming that it "projects the image of a larger vehicle." Headlights, dubbed "daring," define the front end, while boomerang-shape taillamps bring up the rear. Inside is a motorcycle-inspired console. Producing 188 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, Nissan's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine gets a fuel-economy estimate of 27 mpg in city driving and 32 mpg on the highway when equipped with the Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive.
