It might not be love at first sight, but a drive in the 2016 Nissan Juke will have you seeing the inner beauty of Nissan's feisty hatchback/crossover creation.

The Nissan Juke makes no apologies for its controversial styling, which is a part of its appeal. Nissan took it a step further in 2015, introducing a new Color Studio program that allows you to mix and match colors like an unsupervised kid at a soda fountain. Think what you will about the Juke's styling; the bottom line is it's one of the most capable performers in the compact crossover segment, which means big fun in the driver seat.

The 2016 Nissan Juke is a visual standout for this class.

A lot of what makes the Juke so enjoyable is what lies beneath the surface, namely a healthy turbocharged engine that is powerful yet efficient. An available all-wheel-drive system with genuine rear-axle torque-vectoring means the Juke can vary power delivery between the front and rear axles as well as the left and right rear wheels for optimum traction. A taut suspension makes for great handling when the roads start to curve and there are even 7 inches of ground clearance to help keep the body free of scrapes on rough roads. One of the few downsides to the Juke is interior space. Rear passenger legroom and cargo space aren't very generous, so if you often carry a full passenger load, the Juke will feel cramped.

If space is a concern, you might consider the more space-efficient 2016 Chevrolet Trax or 2016 Honda HR-V, both of which offer a big jump in rear passenger legroom and cargo space. If you just can't get past the Juke's exterior styling, then the sleek and sporty 2016 Mazda CX-3 is a good alternative for someone who values a sporty driving experience. Or if off-roading is more in line with your lifestyle, we'd recommend checking out the 2016 Jeep Renegade, specifically the Trailhawk trim.

The 2016 Nissan Juke is available in five trim levels: base S, well-equipped SV and SL and sportier Nismo and Nismo RS.

Standard equipment on the entry-level S model includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a rearview camera, air-conditioning, keyless ignition and entry, full power accessories, cruise control, a tilt-only steering wheel, cloth upholstery, a height-adjustable driver seat, 60/40-split folding rear seats, a trip computer, Bluetooth phone/audio connectivity and a six-speaker sound system with a 5-inch color monitor, Siri Eye Free iPhone integration, CD player, a USB/iPod interface and a hands-free texting assistant.

The midrange SV adds a sunroof, rear privacy glass, automatic climate control, upgraded cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, satellite radio and the I-Con system, which provides three drive mode settings (Eco, Normal, Sport) that alter throttle, steering and transmission (on CVT-equipped models) responsiveness.

Available all-wheel drive can help you get to some out-of-the-way locations.

The optional Tech package gets you a navigation system with a 5.8-inch color touchscreen, Nissan Connect smartphone app integration, a 360-degree "around-view" camera system (with moving vehicle detection), plus an upgraded Rockford Fosgate audio system with a subwoofer. The Cold Weather package includes heated front seats and heated exterior mirrors.
The SL comes standard with all of the above plus automatic headlights, foglights and leather upholstery.
Juke Nismo models include all the equipment from the SL along with a sportier suspension and tuning calibrations, 18-inch alloy wheels, summer tires, unique exterior and interior styling details, front sport seats and a steering wheel wrapped in leather and synthetic suede.
The Nismo RS goes even further, with a more powerful engine, a limited-slip differential (FWD only), bigger brakes, more aggressive suspension and steering tuning, Recaro front sport seats covered in leather and synthetic suede and simulated carbon-fiber trim on the dash.
Options, depending on trim level, include different wheels, a front center armrest, illuminated door sill plates and the Juke Color Studio, which allows one to mix and match colors for the body, wheels, mirrors, door handles, side sills and rear spoiler.
It's worth noting that the Juke Nismo and Nismo RS models are not offered with heated seats or mirrors, or a power sunroof.
The 2016 Nissan Juke features a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produces 188 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. The Juke Nismo has the same engine, but the Nismo RS gets an upgraded version good for 215 hp and 210 lb-ft (front-wheel drive) or 211 hp and 184 lb-ft (all-wheel drive).
Even the entry-level 2016 Juke features strong turbocharged power.
A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard on the S, SV and SL trims. The Nismo and Nismo RS offer a choice of a six-speed manual gearbox or the CVT. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all CVT-equipped trims can also be had with all-wheel drive.
In testing, a front-wheel-drive Juke with the CVT went from zero to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds, an impressively quick time for this category. An all-wheel-drive model was essentially just as quick, and a six-speed manual Nismo even quicker at 6.9 seconds.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for the Juke is 30 mpg in combined driving (28 city/32 highway) with front-wheel drive and the CVT. Opting for AWD drops those numbers to 28 mpg combined (26 city/31 highway). The Nismo model equipped with the six-speed manual gets the best highway fuel economy with 30 mpg combined (28 city/34 highway). The higher-output Nismo RS is rated at 27 mpg combined (25/31) with the manual transmission and 27 mpg combined (25/29) with the automatic and AWD.
All 2016 Nissan Juke models come with antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, a rearview camera, active front head restraints (not equipped on Nismo RS models with Recaro seats), dual-stage front airbags, front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags.
In brake testing, the Juke stopped from 60 mph in 123 feet, which is an average distance for a vehicle in this segment. The Nismo, with its performance-oriented tires, was notably better at 114 feet.
In government crash tests, the Juke received four out of five stars for overall crash protection, with three stars for total frontal-impact protection (four stars, driver; three stars, front passenger), five stars for total side-impact protection and four stars for rollover protection.
Thanks to the Juke's multiple drive modes, it can provide relaxed responses to your inputs that maximize fuel economy when cruising, or sharpen everything up when you're on a fun back road.
If you're looking for driving entertainment in this class, the 2016 Nissan Juke remains a top contender.
The Juke's steering is nicely weighted, even if it doesn't provide the best road communication, and the standard suspension skews toward the sporting side. The ride quality is passable over smooth pavement, though it can feel stiff-legged over bumps compared with more family-oriented crossovers. A decent amount of suspension travel and ground clearance allows it to handle rough roads without scraping anything. There is some noticeable wind and tire noise at highway speeds, but most buyers should find it tolerable, especially given the car's sporting bent.
Although the Nismo Juke has the same engine as the normal version, it manages to shave a couple tenths off its 0-60-mph run with its easy-shifting six-speed manual transmission. Its sport suspension, paired with grippier summer tires, also makes it slightly more entertaining to drive quickly. An extra 27 hp and 33 lb-ft of torque should make this Juke RS more of a rival to high-performance hot hatches like the Ford Focus ST, Mini Cooper S and Volkswagen GTI.
The 2016 Nissan Juke's cabin is nearly as aggressively styled as its exterior. There are a lot of organic curves and body-colored surfaces, while silver accents add cheerful ambience. Unfortunately there's no shortage of hard plastic surfaces, reminding you of the car's budget price tag. On the other hand, the Juke's controls are large and easy to operate, and the cabin features lots of thoughtful storage compartments.
The front seats are comfortable, with substantial side bolsters well suited to enthusiastic driving. A steering wheel that tilts but doesn't telescope can make it harder for some drivers to get comfortable, though, while a shortage of rear legroom makes the backseat better suited to smaller folks or kids.
The Juke's cargo area offers a paltry 10.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 36 cubic feet with those seatbacks folded down. By comparison, the Honda HR-V provides 24.3 cubic feet behind the second row and the Jeep Renegade 18.5 cubic feet. Even the more compact Mazda CX-3 has 12.4 cubic feet of cargo, or 44.5 cubic feet total with the seats folded.
With its standard turbocharged engine, tight suspension and quick steering, Nissan’s Juke feels less like a traditional SUV and more like a zippy hatchback. This all adds up to a crossover SUV that's fun to drive on twisty roads and city streets. It's less suited for miles and miles of highway use, so if you need an Interstate traveler you might opt some something bigger, quieter and less twitchy. Thanks to its small engine and low weight, the Juke gets good fuel economy. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) models use a solid rear axle and have notable torque steer under acceleration, but opt for the torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive (AWD) system and you'll get an independent rear suspension and no torque steer. Juke Nismo and Juke Nismo RS models offer a 6-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential on FWD models, while top-line Nismo RS models get more power and improved handling.
I-CON (INTEGRATED CONTROL) SYSTEM INTERFACE The I-CON display, standard on all but base models, allows the driver to toggle functions in an unexpected and impressive way. With the ability to seamlessly switch its button readout, the same display is used for climate control and "D-mode" adaptive throttle settings. It looks pretty cool, too. INTELLIGENT AWD WITH TORQUE VECTORING While Nissan's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is good for enhanced traction in foul weather, it's just as good for improving handling on dry pavement, and should be a must-get for those looking for the ultimate in cornering from their compact SUV.
The 2016 Nissan Juke's 5-passenger interior is nearly as wild as its exterior. The molded plastic center console mimics a motorcycle’s fuel tank, and the multifunction ventilation controls change to become the Sport/Normal/Eco mode with just the push of a button on models with the nifty I-CON system. It's a lot of fun for the driver and front passenger, but rear-seat passengers will be cramped. Instead, fold down those rear seats to expand the paltry 10.5 cubic feet of cargo space to 35.9 cubic feet, more than enough room for several shopping bags. The steering wheel tilts but doesn't telescope.
For better or worse, the 2016 Nissan Juke looks like nothing else on the road. Try to describe it, and you're bound to bring up an animal descriptor. Is it a frog? An insect? Whatever, a lot of people think it's downright cool. The front end is an outrageous affair with streaking headlight housings, while its rear is nipped and tucked. From the side, the roofline squats as it moves rearward, accented by color-keyed, integrated rear-door handles that give the 5-door Juke a coupe-like appearance. Nismo variants can sport an aerodynamic body kit, while top-line RS versions boast red brake calipers.
The 2016 Nissan Juke is available in five trims: S, SV, SL, Nismo and Nismo RS. The least expensive Juke S still comes nicely equipped with push-button start, rearview camera, AM/FM/CD/USB audio system with 5-inch color display and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, Siri Eyes Free compatibility, continuously variable transmission (CVT) and expected amenities like air conditioning and power windows. For roughly $ 2,000 more, we recommend the Nissan Juke SV trim, which adds the nifty I-CON climate/drive-setting controls, power moonroof, premium cloth seating, rear privacy glass, leather-wrapped steering wheel and automatic climate control.
Climbing to the SL trim adds leather seating, larger 5.8-inch display with navigation and voice recognition, a pounding Rockford Fosgate audio system, heated front seats, automatic headlights and Nissan's impressive AroundView bird's-eye rearview monitor. The Juke Nismo gets sport tuning for better handling, 18-inch wheels, a unique front grille and synthetic suede seat trim, while the top-line Juke Nismo RS packs a more powerful engine, Recaro front bucket seats and Nismo-specific exhaust and brakes. Cold Weather and Tech packages are available for SV models. The "Color Studio" program for SV variants allows the choice of vibrant color schemes.
Two engines are available for the 2016 Nissan Juke. The standard-issue engine is a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with 188 horsepower; it's in all Juke models except the Nismo RS. The top-line Juke Nismo RS gets a more powerful version of the same engine, offering 215 horsepower with the manual transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD), or 211 with the automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD). In standard Jukes, the CVT automatic includes an S-mode that serves up six "virtual" gears, simulating gear changes; seven in the Juke Nismo, and eight in the Juke RS. The Juke is quite fuel-efficient, but Nissan recommends feeding it pricier premium unleaded gasoline.1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4188 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm177 lb-ft of torque @ 2,000-5,200 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 28/32 mpg (FWD, automatic), 26/31 mpg (AWD, automatic)1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 (Nismo RS)215 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm (FWD, manual)211 horsepower @ 2,000 (AWD, automatic)210 lb-ft of torque @ 3,600-4,800 rpm (FWD, manual)184 lb-ft of torque @ 2,400-6,000 rpm (AWD, automatic)EPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/31 mpg (FWD, manual), 25/29 mpg (AWD, automatic)
The 2016 Nissan Juke has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting just over $ 21,000, a tempting price for a spry, turbocharged crossover SUV with egregious style. That climbs to around $ 31,000 for an AWD Juke RS. Newer rivals such as the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, Chevy Trax and Fiat 500X are in line with the Juke, while a bare-bones Jeep Renegade undercuts the Nissan, and the more premium Mini Countryman starts around $ 2,500 more. The Kia Soul is another great alternative that has stylish looks, more space and a starting price $ 4,000 less than the Juke. The larger Subaru Crosstrek starts slightly higher but packs more room and versatility. Before buying, check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their Juke. The Nissan Juke's residual value is expected to be quite strong, and its 5-Year Cost to Own figure lower than most.
