Content-Filled Trims Five trim levels make up the 2017 lineup of the Nissan Juke, all nicely powered and full of great content. The SV, for instance, provides an excellent mix of basics and upscale features that make it an awarding choice for many. It comes with automatic climate control, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, keyless ignition and entry, plus a generous list of electronics. Consumers love the five-inch color monitor and its many other gadgets such as: Siri Eyes Free iPhone integration CD player USB-iPod interface Hands-free texting assistant Satellite radio Another aspect consumers love about the Juke's SV rim is its drive mode settings – Eco, Normal, Sport – that alter throttle, steering and transmission responsiveness.   The SV trim also comes with an optional Tech package that equips the Juke with some worthwhile add-ons such as: Navigation system with 5.8” color touchscreen NisssanConnect smartphone app integration 360-degree camera system with moving-vehicle detection Upgraded Rockford Fosgate audio system with subwoofer The most popular trim levels on the Juke's lineup are the Nismo and Nismo RS – both providing increased power and sports appeal. The Juke Nismo comes with sportier suspension and tuning calibrations that deliver and peppier drive that consumers greatly enjoy. It also features: 18” alloy wheels High-performance tires Unique exterior and interior styling details Front sport seats Leather-wrapped steering wheel For consumers that like to push things even further, the Nismo's RS trim is the ultimate choice. It houses a more powerful engine, limited-slip differential, larger brakes and more aggressive suspension and steering tuning. It also boats some intriguing interior elements such as Recaro front sport seats in leather and synthetic suede and a simulated carbon-fiber dash trim. Upbeat Interior Just as the 2017 Juke exudes lively exterior, its interior sticks with the same upbeat persona. Styling is anything but boring, especially in higher trim levels that deliver sportier elements. Seats not only look nice, they feel good too, which makes them an impressive feature.   Passengers are also provided enough space and visibility is good due to its front roof and side pillars that are narrow. Visibility also increases with the inclusion of a 360-degree camera system that allows the driver to see entirely around the vehicle. Peppy Drive Some SUVs deliver a rather blah performance. But Nissan's 2017 Juke is anything but blah behind the wheel. Instead, it engages its drivers in every way. Handling is extremely fun, making the Juke an exiting SUV to zip around town in. Plus, with plenty of suspension, travel and ground clearance are excellent, especially on curvy, bumpy backroads. The Juke's better-than-average ground clearance also makes it a decent vehicle off-road.   What's most worth noting is the speed of the 2017 Juke, which is truly impressive. In zero to 60 mph acceleration testing, the Juke crushes it with a time of just 6.9 seconds.   Intrigued by what you've learned so far about the 2017 Nissan Juke?

Get More Fuel Savings and Better MPG with These Helpful Tips There are many things people look for in a new car, from good handling and an upbeat performance to user-friendly technology and an attractive interior and exterior. Fuel economy is also a highly sought-after characteristic. Say, for instance, you opt for the 2016 Nissan Juke. Fuel economy will depend on a number of factors. For instance, those with front-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) can deliver around good mpg, while those with AWD typically get a bit less. But, there's always room for more fuel savings and better mpg, right? If you're looking for ways to save money at the pump, continue reading. Driving Habits You may not realize it, but your driving habits play a significant role in mpg. Here are some tips to make your fuel last longer. Drive Less: The most obvious way to avoid excessive trips to the gas station is to drive less. While this is not always possible, some ways to drive less include combining errands into one trip, walking or biking, and carpooling to work and school. Slow Down: There's no denying that many of us ignore the speed limit, but this is dangerous as well as a fuel waster. This of it this way: faster driving causes an increase in wind resistance, which equals to a decrease in fuel. The best way to save gas is by driving just below the speed limit and accelerating slowly. Brake Less: When driving, your brakes will be used rather consistently. But, if you brake excessively, you are actually doing more harm than good. Not only does excessive braking cause your brake pads to wear out more quickly, but it also wastes gas. An easy solution to this problem is to avoid tailgating. By maintaining a safe distance between yourself and the car in front of you, you won't need to brake as often and, in turn, save gas. Turn off the Engine: In the school carpool lane, in standstill traffic or at a drive-through window, your car may idle for an extended period of time. Along with the annoyance of being at a standstill, you'll also be faced with the annoyance of lost fuel (it's also bad for the environment). Instead of letting your engine idle, simply turn it off and save your fuel for better purposes. Car Maintenance Along with certain driving habits, mpg can also be negatively affected by the health of your vehicle. Here are a few ways to ensure optimal fuel efficiency. Check Tire Pressure One maintenance service that can help you achieve optimal fuel efficiency is regularly checking and maintaining tire pressure. Tires can cause a decrease in fuel economy for a number of reasons. One is due to too little air. Under-inflated tires suffer too much contact, or friction, with the road. This causes your vehicle to work harder to move, which results in lower fuel economy. Tune the Engine How long's it been since you've taken your car for a tune up? If you're scratching your head at the question, it is a good idea to schedule one. A regularly tuned engine is going to run much more efficiently than one that is not. It will also use less gas, which is a win in fuel savings. Limit Air Conditioning Use If you live in a hot climate, air conditioning is probably one of your best friends. The problem with this is that excessive use of the air conditioner while driving causes fuel economy to drop. When possible, turn your air conditioning off. You can also keep your car cooler by parking in the shade or rolling down the windows to help circulate air.
