The 2012 Nissan Juke is proof that SUVs and Crossovers don't have to be dull and boring.

The 2012 Juke is equipped with a 1.6-liter, turbocharged, in-line four-cylinder engine making 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Drivers have their choice of a CVT automatic transmission with S-mode for manual gear shifting or a six-speed manual. All-wheel drive with torque-vectoring is also available on all three Juke trims.

In addition, the Juke SV and SL trims include Nissan's I-CON (Advanced-Integrated Control) interface which allows drivers to select from three different driving modes - Normal, Sport and Eco.
