JUKE is about to carve out a unique space in the rapidly growing compact crossover/hatchback segment with its combination of striking design, agile handling and driving pleasure and user friendly technology,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America. “Add in the convenience, versatility and high seating positioning of a traditional compact SUV – and pricing that is expected to start at just under $20,000 – and you’ve got a vehicle unlike any other in its class.”

Think of the 2011 Nissan Juke as a Nissan Cube SUV carrying an optional all-wheel-drive system, abstract (or unique) styling and a vehicle that it targeted towards the young car buyer.
