Today, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released crash test results for a number of new small cars and crossovers. Among them were results for the 2011 Nissan Juke, which ultimately won the Institute's coveted “Top Safety Pick” designation.
The Juke achieved the Institute's highest rating of “Good” in front, rear and side impact protection. It was also equipped with electronic stability control and earned a good rating in roof strength. The Juke joins the Nissan Leaf, Nissan Cube, and Infiniti M37/M56, on the list of 2011 Top Safety Picks.
In addition to excelling in crash tests, the Juke comes with a very long list of standard safety features including Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) with dual-stage, dual-threshold front air bags and seat belt and occupant classification sensors, roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags for front and rear outboard occupant head protection, seat-mounted driver and front passenger side-impact supplemental air bags and front-seat Active Head Restraints. Other standard equipment includes LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS).
"Nissan's commitment to safety and innovation is reflected in the Nissan Juke receiving the Top Safety Pick from IIHS," said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. "The Nissan Juke has a unique combination of motorsports-inspired design and unexpected levels of technology and safety features– all with a starting MSRP under ,000."
