We interrupt your regularly scheduled Chicago Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/chicago-auto-show/) coverage to bring you this: The all-new Nissan (http://www.autoblog.com/make/nissan/) Juke (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Juke/).
The B-segment 'ute that Nissan asserts is "part SUV, part sports car" is due to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show/) next month before going on sale in Europe and the U.S. later this year (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/10/officially-official-nissan-juke-coming-to-america/).
Taking cues from the Qazana concept (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/03/geneva-2009-nissan-qazana-is-so-bizarre-it-almost-looks-french/), the Juke was created by Nissan's European design arm and refined in Japan, with an odd amalgamation of organic creases, a sloping roofline, flared fenders and prominent greenhouse. It's considerably wider and taller than its most obvious road-going inspiration - the Nissan Micra (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/NissanMicra/) - coming in at 61 inches tall with a wheelbase of 92.5 inches and based of the Renault/Nissan Alliance's B platform. Seventeen-inch wheels with 215-series tires will be available, along with either front- or all-wheel drive. Interestingly, the FWD versions come with a MacPherson front strut arrangement and a torsion beam in the rear, while the AWD variant gets an new multi-link suspension in the rear and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive.
Three engines will be available in Europe, with AWD models coming equipped with a 187 horsepower 1.6-liter direct injected turbocharged four-cylinder putting out 177 pound-feet of torque. A 113-hp HR16DE 1.6-liter will also be available, along with a 110-hp 1.5-liter dCi commonrail diesel. The turbo'd petrol engine has to make due with a continuously variable transmission, while the the other engines can be had with a six-speed manual gearbox.
Inside, Nissan is offering a host of high-tech features, including keyless entry and start, a rearview camera and automatic headlamps, along with the fabled "motorcycle tank" center console. Make the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/10/geneva-preview-nissan-juke-unveiled/#continued) for all the details and a video of the Juke in action.
