The SV trim of the Nissan Juke with an automatic transmission and AWD drivetrain would be the best choice. It starts at $23,690 and comes equipped with a set of features including power sliding glass moonroof, rear privacy glass, Nissan intelligent key with push-button ignition, integrated control (i-con) system with automatic temperature control, SiriusXM satellite radio, premium cloth seat trim, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and passenger seatback pocket.

The Nissan Juke comes with a 1.6 L Inline-4 engine churning out 188 hp of maximum power and 177 lb-ft of maximum torque. The hatchback has the option of a CVT or a 6-speed manual. The Nissan Juke takes 7.8 seconds to reach a speed of 60 mph and 15.5 seconds to cross the quarter-mile mark.

The small size results in better maneuverability, and combined with the nimble handling, offers zippy performance to drive around town. However, there is a significant amount of road and wind noise creeping inside the cabin.

The Nissan Juke is the most powerful of the lot outputting 188 hp and 177 lb-ft, followed by the Mazda 3 that outputs 155 hp and a torque of 148 lb-ft, whereas the Hyundai produces 148 hp and 131 lb-ft of power and torque, respectively. The Nissan is the fastest to reach 60 mph in 7.8 seconds, followed by the Mazda and Hyundai taking 9.4 and 9.7 seconds, respectively.

The Nissan Juke with its peppy performance does lose out in the efficiency game. It delivers fuel efficiency of 27 mpg in the city, 32 on the highway, and a combined efficiency of 29 mpg with its powerful engine. The Nissan has a fuel capacity of 13.2 gallons, outputting a range of 356 miles in the city, 422 on the highway, and a combined range of 382 miles. 

In comparison, the Mazda 3 is the most fuel-efficient, offering a combined efficiency of 32 mpg, followed by the Hyundai and Nissan offering 30 and 29 mpg of combined efficiency, respectively. The Mazda has the largest fuel capacity of 14.5 gallons, followed by the Nissan with a fuel capacity of 13.2 gallons. The Hyundai comes with the smallest 12.8-gallon fuel tank. Mazda manages to deliver the best-combined range of 464 miles, followed by the Elantra and Nissan delivering 384 and 382 miles, respectively.

The 2013 Nissan Juke has a sporty-looking cabin along with spacious, comfortable, and supportive front-row seats. The rear row seats are usable even though it lacks space compared to the rivals in the segment. But definitely, they are not super cramped or useless, but because they lack headroom and legroom, the second row is recommended for children or smaller adults.

The cabin has a sporty personality all around, which many might find impressive. The materials and elements in the interior are of average quality, and the fit and finish are not super impressive but not very bad either. The hatchback comes with a cargo capacity of 10.5 cubic feet.

The Nissan has the most legroom in the front row, whereas the Mazda has the most in the second row. When it comes to cargo capacity, the Nissan again falls short of its rivals, offering a low cargo capacity of 10.5 cu-ft, while the Mazda offers 17.0 cu-ft and the Hyundai Elantra GT offers significantly better cargo space, measuring 23.0 cu-ft. Few key interior features in the Nissan include-

The exterior beauty of the Nissan Juke is totally subjective, and for me personally, the 2013 Nissan Juke looks just plain ugly. Maybe not just plain ugly, but kind of modernized, futuristic ugly. The side profile looks - again, bizarre.

The 17-inch wheels also look pretty dull and not very eye-catching or beautiful. The Nissan Juke weighs 2,981 lbs, which is on the higher side. The hatchback has a ground clearance of 7.0 inches, which is quite practical.

The Nissan weighs the most, weighing in at 2,981 lbs, followed by the Mazda 3 which weighs a lower 2,969 lbs, followed by the Hyundai that weighs a significantly lower 2,784 lbs. The Mazda is the longest, while the Nissan is the tallest. Compared to the Mazda and Hyundai having a similar ground clearance of 4.7 and 5.5 inches, the Nissan has a significantly higher ground clearance of 7.0 inches.

The Nissan Juke is a small and ugly-looking hatchback with an unimpressive exterior, but with a powerful engine under the hood. It is one of the most capable and drivable hatchbacks in the segment. It also offers a respectable fuel economy considering the improved performance it offers. The Nissan is not definitely the best option to choose if you’re looking for something that looks good, but if what you need is something to drive regardless of what it looks like, go for it.
