The 2012 Nissan Juke Shiro is a new version of the Juke, a very successful model for Nissan. Making its debut at the 2012 Brussels car show, the Shiro is a top of the line special version of the model which first hit the market in 2010.

Now Juke lovers can own an even more distinctive automobile with unique characteristics inside and out.

Interior

Shiro is the Japanese word for “white”, and it’s the stylish use of white accents helps set this model apart. The Juke’s modish center console is now white, but still with the distinctive shape of a motorcycle gas tank. Armrests on both doors sport white tops; the center armrest is accented with white stitching, while the leather-clad steering wheel, the gearshift knob and the seat edges all boast white stitching as well.

The seats themselves have a white background that shows through the leather seat covers. The combination of new features and white accents setting off the mostly grey and black make the interior of the Shiro striking and give it a customized, luxurious feel.

Exterior

On the outside the Nissan Juke Shiro has several characteristics that set it apart from the standard Juke line. A satin silver has been applied to the top of the mirrors, the door handles and the B-pillar. It comes equipped with 17 inch dark grey alloy wheels which nicely complement the silver exterior accents. And there is a new color available for the Shiro that also sets it apart from the standard Juke models – it’s called Nightshade, a lovely dark-brownish shade of purple.

Performance

When it comes to performance, the Shiro is also a step up from the standard Juke in options and features. There are 3 engines to choose from, with 2 manual transmissions for achieving power to the road. A 4-wheel drive system is also available, increasing the viability of the Shiro for a variety of climates and roads.

Of course, all of the engineering advancements and improvements made to the Juke apply to the 2012 Nissan Juke Shiro, which benefits from Nissan’s commitment to making high-quality, high performance, and environmentally friendly cars.
