About the Nissan Juke Nismo RS F15
The Nismo RS represents the peak of the first-generation Juke's performance, featuring a strengthened chassis and a mechanical limited-slip differential to manage its increased output. While the standard Juke was known for its divisive 'bug-eyed' styling, the RS added aggressive aero, Recaro bucket seats, and a revised exhaust system to justify its hot-hatch aspirations. It was offered in both front-wheel drive with a manual gearbox and all-wheel drive with a CVT, though the manual FWD version is generally preferred by enthusiasts for its higher torque and more engaging drive. Despite its SUV height, the stiffened suspension and sharp steering make it surprisingly agile on B-roads.
