Nissan’s five-seat Juke small crossover is about 20 inches shorter than the Rogue, but it packs a more powerful engine and a sophisticated available all-wheel-drive system that together give the Juke a decidedly sporty bearing. Competitors include the Kia Soul and Mini Clubman.
Offered in S, SV and SL trim levels, the Juke is also available with a number of upscale features such as push-button start and a navigation system with real-time traffic information. It is also available as in a high-performance NISMO trim.
