While most carmakers are displaying their latest goodies at the 2010 NAIAS, Nissan is planning to debut its new crossover at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March. Nevertheless, the Japanese manufacturer gives its best to keep things secret when it comes to the appearance of the production model.
But here are a couple of computer-generated images (CGIs) supposed to give us a glimpse into how the future model will look like. Codenamed Juke, the crossover will be smaller than the Qashqai but bigger than a Nissan Note. It will be manufactured in the UK and will arrive in European showroom as soon as October.
In terms of exterior styling, the Juke will be similar in appearance with the concept, but only if we're referring to the front fascia. On the other hand, the rear side of the car will suffer major modifications from the version we've seen on the concept, with the final result looking more as a Nissan-like product.
Details on the interior are still in the early stages, so we can't tell for sure which are the elements seen on the concept that would make it to production. However, the concept came with several lightweight carbon components. The centre portion of the backrests features a mesh material, allowing fresh air to circulate around the occupants.
Unfortunately, there are no technical details available, but expect an engine lineup specifically optimized for reduced emissions and fuel consumption. The Juke will most likely borrow some engines from the Qashqai but Nissan is yet to mention which exactly are the engines to be used on the future crossover.
