The Juke enters its seventh model year with relatively few changes for 2017. The Black Pearl edition, which harkens to a late-1970s edition of the 280Z sports car, builds on the mid-level 2017 Juke SV, which is already on sale.
It’s an extensive cosmetic package complete with black paint and white exterior accents plus black-and-white trim on everything from the seats and center console to the steering wheel and air vents. Available with front- or all-wheel drive, the Black Pearl adds $1,190 to the Juke SV’s price.
Nissan will limit Black Pearl production to just 1,000 units for the U.S. — less than 10 percent of the Jukes that Americans have bought so far this year. Nissan has been getting into movie tie-ins lately, but we doubt the automaker convinced Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush to autograph each of those Black Pearls.
