The Nissan Juke fits appropriately under the title of ‘crossover’ vehicle. It is often described as the younger brother of the popular Qashqai with an attractive design that lies somewhere between an SUV and a small car. These cars seem popular as they offer the security of a larger SUV combined with the practicality of a smaller car when it comes to environmental concerns or fuel economy. Where a 4×4 may seem ostentatious, a Juke seems elegant and responsible. There is a choice of 1.5 diesel engines and a 1.6 petrol engine with the former probably being the more popular due to rising fuel costs. The Nissan Juke insurance group goes from group 16 for the basic 1.6 petrol to group 25 for the top of the range models. Endsleigh can offer some of the most competitive rates by searching a range of the companies for the most competitive prices.
The interior is roomy enough for four passengers to sit comfortably due its generous super-mini/crossover interior. For what is basically a small car it offers a slightly higher capacity than your average super mini. The ride quality over bumpier road surfaces is assured with the large tyres and sturdy frame. Cornering is better than expected with the tall chassis engineered so that it doesn’t lurch too much when turning at speed.
The Nissan Juke is looking to cash in on the success of the Qashqai and re-conquer the smaller car market. Prices start at just under £13,000 which offers comparable value to say a Mini which would be a market rival. To get full value you should look for insurance on the net where companies like Endsleigh can help you get the best deals by searching quotes from the UK’s leading providers.
Nissans success looks to be going from strength to strength with their quirky new SUV styled designs and the Juke looks to be just as popular as the Qashqai.
