2011 Nissan Juke SL AWD

People are intrigued by the 2011 Nissan Juke SL AWD  Amenities are substantial at the SL level: Nissan Advanced Airbag System, 60/40 split rear seats, power windows/locks/seats, six-speaker stereo, and navigation with Bluetooth are some of the notable ones. The Juke calmly negotiates mild bends thanks to an athletically tuned suspension and all-wheel-drive setup. Ahem, Nissan...

It's quirky. Of course, the 2011 Nissan Juke SL AWD is not a hybrid or an EV or any other type of newfangled alt-fueled world-saving contraption.
Our 2011 Nissan Juke SL AWD CVT starts out with a turbocharged 1.6-liter direct-injection gasoline (DIG) four-cylinder engine making 188 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. Sure, there are less expensive options. The S model with FWD, the same 188-hp motor and CVT, cloth seats, iPod integration and Bluetooth runs $18,980. Upgrade to the SV and you get a sunroof, rear privacy glass, keyless ignition/entry, leather-wrapped steering wheel, satellite radio, automatic climate control and the Integrated Control (I-Con) system which allows control over Normal, Sport and Eco settings for throttle, steering and transmission as well as the climate control. The top dog is the SL.

The 2011 Nissan Juke ranks 3 out of 7 Affordable Compact Wagons. If you’ve seen the 2011 Nissan Juke, you’ve probably wondered, “What is that?” The Juke is a crossover: part car, part SUV. The Juke is part SUV, but its main competitors are affordable small cars. Choose the Volkswagen GTI if you want better performance, more cargo room and classy exterior styling. Choose the Cooper if you want a car with a unique exterior, but think the Juke looks over the top. With a $17,965 base price, it’s cheaper than the Juke, GTI and Cooper.

The 2011 Nissan Juke SL AWD Juke also competes against the Scion xB, Kia Soul and Nissan Cube, three box cars that have unique exteriors, adequate performance and decent fuel economy.
