Overview

The 2016 Nissan Juke hatchback makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact hatchback . With 3 trims on offer, the Nissan Juke hatchback has a base MSRP of $20,250, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $26,940, competing directly with the Toyota CH-R, the Kia Soul, and the Mazda CX-3. Only a 1.6L turbocharged Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a CVT. Together, they produce 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 7.3 seconds, the Juke hatchback maintains a combined fuel economy of 28 MPG. Nissan offers the Juke hatchback in 9 stunning colors, with the Red alert being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2016 Nissan Juke is available in 3 trim levels and 6 configurations. Each configuration has its own perks but the one that makes absolute sense to us is the S trim with AWD. This trim costs $22,100 but provides better ride quality and is also sufficiently feature-rich.
