To be honest, when we first heard the name of the Nissan Juke’s new edition we thought it was a tribute to the brand’s senior vice president and head of design, Shiro Nakamura, who has penned, among other models, the GT-R, the 350Z, the Murano and the Infiniti FX45. But we were wrong to think so. Shiro in Japanese means white, and that’s the name Nissan though was appropriate for the Juke’s new range topping version in Europe.
Your eyes don’t deceive you: the car you see in the pictures is not white, as one would expect, but maroon. Nissan claims that the specific edition takes its name from the white color of the center console and door armrest along with the white stitching on the leather steering wheel, gear lever and outer edges of the seats.
"Juke is all about individual choice. It's different to other cars in the class and that individuality has appealed to buyers right across Europe”, said Juke product manager for Europe, Gareth Dunsmore. “Juke Shiro, with its distinctive white accented interior, gives those buyers another opportunity to create a Juke that suits their own personal style and taste."
The Juke Shiro is based on the Tekna edition and is available with every engine in the model’s range right up to the 190HP 1.6-liter turbocharged unit that is optionally available with all-wheel drive.
Standard specification includes ESP, six airbags, keyless entry with start button, automatic climate control, heated front seats, folding mirrors, automatic lights and wipers and rear privacy glass.
An accessory package, with a central armrest with white stitching, front chrome-plates sill protectors with white illumination, and velour mats will be available in the standard or optional equipment list, according to the market.
