NISSAN AT THE 80th GENEVA INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW





The global premiere of Nissan's all-new small crossover will take place at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. The Nissan Juke is a distinctive combination of SUV toughness and sporting style in a compact package, it will be the third member of Nissan's crossover family. The top of the range Juke will come with a new turbocharged direct injection petrol engine, developing 190hp and 240Nm. The 1.6 direct injection turbo engine is available with Nissan's ALL-MODE 4x4-i system, updated to include torque-vectoring technology. As well splitting torque front to rear – up to a maximum of 50:50 – it can now be split from side-to-side across the rear axle too, enhancing agility and reducing understeer when cornering. The other engine options are Nissan's 1.6-litre 16-valve unit, now with a unique dual-injection system, developing 117hp and 157Nm of torque, as well as the 1.5-litre dCI common rail engine producing 110hp and 240Nm of torque. As well as being sold in Europe (from the autumn), Juke will also be sold in Japan and North America.



Also a comprehensively refreshed Pathfinder and Navara will be on display at Geneva Motor Show, representing its debut equipped with a new 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine. Power output is 238hp while the torque output is 550Nm. Its 2.5 dCI engine has been significantly updated, and the overall result is an increase in both power and torque and a reduction in emissions and consumption. Power rises to 190hp - up 19hp - while torque increases by a healthy 47Nm to 450Nm. Further updates have been made to the interior to improve quality, comfort and refinement.
