If you’re looking for something bigger than a hatch but smaller than an SUV with many of the benefits of both, then a crossover should be the perfect fit. Nissan has taken this market segment by force with three dynamic crossover options, one for every stage of your life.
The Nissan Juke – the trendy urban warrior
With muscular wheel arches, a predatory grille and bike-inspired interior styling, the Nissan Juke boasts a distinctive design that undoubtedly makes it stand out from the crowd. But the head-turning Juke isn’t just a feast for the eyes, it’s also surprisingly affordable retailing from just over R200k. The four-model line-up offers two petrol engine choices – a standard 1.6L powertrain that delivers 86kW and 158Nm coupled with a 5-speed transmission and the super punchy 6-speed 1.6L Tekna derivative that rules the road with 140kW of power and 240Nm of torque. Besides offering plenty of space, a 5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating and lots of modern features, the top two Nissan Juke models also offer Drive, Sport and Eco modes to enhance your driving experience.
The Nissan Qashqai – the ultimate all-rounder
You’re guaranteed to get more than your money’s worth when purchasing a new Nissan Qashqai. It’s packed with loads of lifestyle features, offers ample room for passengers, luggage and sporting equipment, plus it comes standard with advanced safety measures to provide added peace of mind. The Qashqai range also offers plenty of choice with 9 models to pick from including 1.6L and 2.0L petrol plus 1.5L and 2.0L diesel engine options as well as 2WD and 4WD drivetrains. For growing families or soccer moms, Nissan’s also added a Qashqai+2 model to its line-up, which is equipped with 7 seats instead of the standard 5.
The Nissan Murano – the performance beast
The Nissan Murano is what all crossovers aspire to be… bigger, bolder and more powerful than most. It boasts only the highest quality features, components and finishes – from its Bi-Xenon headlamps and LED taillights to its luxurious leather trim and stylish tinted sunroof. But it’s the mighty Murano’s legendary 350Z-inspired engine that really makes you want to take the wheel. Its 3.5L V6 engine pumps out a mammoth 191kW of grunt at 6000rpm and 336Nm of torque at 4400rpm to leave the competition behind while its ALL MODE 4×4-intelligence provides power and grip in any condition.
Whatever your budget, whatever your needs and whatever the stage of life you are in, Nissan has a crossover that will more than satisfy you.
