Albany Nissan dealer, Johnson Nissan, is preparing for the arrival of the all-new Nissan JUKE. The JUKE was recently launched in Japan and is expected to arrive in the US this fall.

Developed for the global market, JUKE’s unique styling offers a new look in the compact category, combining the agility of a compact sports car with the security and toughness of an SUV. From its sporty front and rear lights to its large, imposing fenders, JUKE stands out with bold design and strong imagery.

The JUKE name is equally original. Derived from an American football term used to describe a quick or sudden move taken by a running back to avoid a defensive player’s tackle, the name was chosen to showcase JUKE’s ability to deftly negotiate the challenges of work and everyday life.

JUKE also breaks new ground in offering the world’s first mass-produced 1.5-liter engine (HR15DE) with dual injectors. Along with its standard new-generation Xtronic CVT™ transmission and rigid suspension, JUKE provides smooth acceleration, superior handling, improved driving stability and a comfortable ride.

The JUKE qualifies for the tax exemption for environmentally friendly vehicles, which provides for a 50% reduction of both new vehicle acquisition and weight taxes. In addition, functions like the combined mileage display and navigation system, Eco Drive mode with CVT, and low consumption cabin climate control all support a fun, eco-friendly driving experience.

Albany, Pittsfield and The Berkshires Nissan shoppers interested in the Nissan JUKE can place their order in advance of its arrival by calling Johnson Nissan at 1-800-825-3673.  More information will also be released on their website: www.albanynissan.net
