During the last Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), Universal Motors Company (formerly a local arm of Nissan Motor Company Ltd) displayed the Nissan Juke as its hero car, hinting that it will be distributing the crossover to Philippine roads.
Two years later and with this year’s PIMS coming up in September, there is still no “legal” Juke traversing our local streets. Will this recent development from Japan re-fuel Nissan Philippines’ intentions to bring the Juke here?
As part of Nissan Motor Company’s 80th year celebration, the auto company is unveiling the Juke 80th Special Color Limited Edition, featuring a new palette of heritage colors.
The main highlight of this special edition is the availability of four heritage colors: Deep Maroon, Sunflare Orange, Brilliant White Pearl and Aurora Flare Blue Pearl which all are a throwback to important Nissan models like the Fairlady Z and Skyline GT-R R34. Regardless of selected paint, all special edition Jukes will feature bronze wheel covers, chrome plating on the door handles as well as bronze exterior mirrors.
It’s available exclusively with a 4-cylinder 1.5-liter gasoline engine producing 99 bhp (74 kW) and 139 Nm (103 lb-ft) of torque. On the inside there are tons of customization options as presented in the facelifted Euro-spec Juke shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
