Nissan has introduced the Qashqai little brother Juke at 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Applied with 190 hp engine and all-wheel drive, this boldly styled SUV is going to appear at the dealers’ showrooms by the next autumn. The compact Juke SUV will be positioned between Note – the compact car and the Qashqai. It uses the Renault-Nissan B platform (Nissan Micra / Renault Modus) as the base. 2011 Nissan Juke is 4.13 meters long, 1.76 wide and 1.57 meters high. With a wheelbase of 2.53 meters, the new Nissan is closely oriented to the dimensions of the study.
