When Nissan's (http://www.autoblog.com/make/nissan/) new Juke (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/10/geneva-preview-nissan-juke-unveiled/) compact crossover hits the streets later this year, it will be powered by the automaker's first gasoline-turbocharged-direct-injected (GTDI) engine. Following in the same technical path blazed by the Volkswagen Group (http://www.autoblog.com/make/volkswagen/), General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/), Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/) and others, the new engine uses the high-pressure injection system to execute multiple injection pulses for cleaner and more complete combustion. The variable cam phasing system operates independently on both the intake and exhaust camshafts, but the bottom line is this: An impressive 188 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque from a small displacement engine.

We don't know for sure if this new mill will come to the U.S.-market Juke, but we assume it will, likely paired with either a six-speed automatic transmission or one of Nissan's continuously variable transmissions. We also have no idea what kind of mileage the GTDI Juke will get, but it should be quite competitive. Check out the video after the jump (http://green.autoblog.com/2010/02/12/video-2011-nissan-juke-to-get-1-6l-gas-turbo-direct-injected-i4/#continued) to see it in action. A tip of the hat to Braun!
