The all-new Nissan Juke is a perfect example of the automaker's commitment to offering innovation for everyone, with dramatic styling that's unlike anything else on the road and a surprisingly peppy engine under the hood. But the JUKE also reflects Nissan's dedication to vehicle safety, too; in fact, it was just named a 2011 "Top Safety Pick" by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The Juke joins the Nissan Leaf, Nissan Cube and Infiniti M Series among the automaker's current "Top Safety Picks," meaning all offer electronic stability control and achieved the highest possible grades on the IIHS' tests for front, side, rear and rollover crash protection.
A key to the Juke's IIHS performance is its high level of standard safety content, which includes:
- Next-generation Bluetooth technology with voice control that allows drivers to make and answer phone calls while keeping their hands on the wheel
- Traction control
- Anti-lock brakes
- Vehicle dynamic control
- A tire-pressure monitoring system
- Front-seat active head restraints
- The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system for properly installing child safety seats
- Nissan's Advanced Air Bag System, featuring dual-stage, dual-threshold front air bags; roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags; and seat-mounted driver and front-passenger side-impact supplemental air bags
"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."
