Sales success of Nissan Juke

This model, which has been since debut in 2010 a resounding success, follows the trail of another compact sized SUV manufactured by Nissan, the popular Qashqai. Distinctive feature of Nissan  Juke is its exterior design which adopts the stylistic daring solutions, almost concept car, but has found immediate positive response from the audience.

Curious Design, halfway between SUVS and sports of Nissan Juke

The design of Nissan Juke is in fact a successful Union between the bottom, typically by SUV-wheel tires, large ground clearance and muscular appearance to the wheel, and the upper part by racy sports car look, thanks to the high waistline and the coupe-style roof.

Nissan Juke engine Up to 190 HP

As regards the range of engines, petrol engines have Juke 1.6 liter 117 HP or 160 HP, available with either automatic, manual transmission and that the possibility of 4WD 4WD. The diesel version is 1.5 liters dice embodied by from 110 HP. In addition to Nissan Juke versions, available since debut, was also launched a more powerful version with 190 HP.

Audi A1 Sportback Features. Aesthetically, of course, do not pass unnoticed in more than two doors that change the look, but, above all, the spirit of the A1 Sportback making this more traditional and even more serious of which is accompanied by three doors. A touch of originality, however, is given by the possibility of having the arch above the doors and the roof in a contrasting color, a solution that may soften the effect a bit ‘too Teutonic whole and particularly the two models differs significantly . Difficult, however, consider the six millimeters more than the body width and height. The variation of the latter is due to the different roof line that rises slightly in the part that joins the rear window, now with more vertical angle.

Audi A1 Sportback Dimensions. Maybe, but just the affordability has improved, because although a different positioning of the seats, designed to “give away” a little ‘more space for rear seat passengers, especially the high touch again with his head a little and travel pavilion’ sacrificed , so much so that even for the Sportback, as for the three-door version, the “five people” can be obtained on request without charge. And if the dimensions are more or less the same, even the luggage capacity is unchanged: 270 liters, which can become 920 folding rear seat backrest. Even within virtually does not change anything compared to the three gates: finds, therefore, a sporty driving position of the setting, with seat adjustable in height, well shaped, wrap-around. Appreciable is also space available for the pilot and passenger, height and distance from the steering wheel (adjustable) and the ease with which you can reach all, or nearly so, the commands, including those on the bridge side. The latter from drawing far less spectacular than those exhibited by some competitors, but from the German reassuring rationality, is characterized by four striking air vents, the dashboard clearly visible from the driver and the center console where the buttons, however, are located too low.

Audi A1 Sportback Equipments. All right then? Yes, especially with regard to the finish, but the assessment on the equipment is significantly influenced by the equipment that drives up pay (an average of more than $ 2,000) list price that starts from 17,830 euros of the 1.2 TFSI Attraction up to 86 HP 27,380 euros to the 185 hp 1.4 TFSI Ambition S tronic gearbox. Yeah, but we must not forget that it is always an Audi. Now, however, feeling his way to the A1 Sportback 1.6 TDI driven by 105 hp, along with the 90 hp 1.6 TDI, will constitute 51% of our sales on the market that will begin next February.

How it goes. The popular 1.6-liter turbodiesel, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, it does feel a bit ‘at high revs, but it has a great progression and homogeneity of operation in every situation and “gives” A1 Sportback a bit of life as the 105 horsepower have to deal with “only” 220 pounds of body weight made of special steel. On the road the A1 Sportback maintains a dynamic agile and secure. Precise, fun, responsive, closely follows the trajectory set by the pilot. On the steering accurate and free of reactions, but also very limited roll. When you push more, the character of this compact five-door does not change, indeed, part of the pleasure of driving also goes by the function of electronic limited slip differential from exposure took place, which improves traction on bends a lot. When the system senses a loss of grip of the wheel inside a bend fast, the brakes slightly and moved to the external power. This will limit the understeer and driving is more responsive and fast.

Even with a 1.4 TFSI. The Audi A1 Sportback will be offered in a second time, with an innovative 140 hp 1.4 TFSI with technology “cilinder on demand”, a system that varies the valve lift and that, in certain situations, turn off the second and the third of four cylinders. Then, but with much longer time, since the debut of the Audi A1 Sportback four-wheel drive.

Main changes relating to the bumpers, front and rear, and a new carbon fiber spoiler. Changes that improve not only the road holding of the coupe, but due to weight reduction increase performance aerodynamic and therefore the maximum speed declared by 277 km/h. It also gains from 0 to 100 km/h that already in the basic version of the Porsche Cayman S is achieved soli5 .2 seconds, thanks to the 3.4-litre turbo engine capable of generating well 320 HP.

As regards the new aerodynamics, front carbon fiber flow improves airflow thanks to honeycomb grille, as well as reducing the weight up to 40% compared to the standard version. Also improved the rear, which exploits the airflow to exert force down even more, thanks to spoiler mounted on the tail, as well as rear bumper carbon fiber created by Duke Dynamics that cuts the weight on the back of 30%. In addition, the spoiler has a slender line that keeps below kilogram weight.

To finish rear view mirrors and domes of the alloy wheels supplied in black color, which show the brake calipers and contrasting with the orange of the bodywork.
