It’s tough to tell in photos, but the white Juke has a pearlescent flake that sparkles compared to a regular white paint. Even so, I don’t think white is the best way to accentuate the Juke NISMO’s new stance and looks. The black-painted models shown in photos looked much more menacing than the white on display at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.

Inside, the Juke NISMO is more impressive with performance-car highlights like the suede-trimmed aggressively bolstered seats with prominent red stitching. They’re also a comfortable, supple seat instead of rock-hard sports seats found in many sports cars. The steering wheel and other interior pieces are covered in Alcantara simulated suede and leather to provide a nice grippy touch while looking high quality.
