- | Do Tall People Fit? Yep! Quotes from the big and TALL. \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | "Im 6'1. My headroom is ok. My legs are long, but fit if I pull the seat back. It would have been nice if there was and adjustable telescopic steering, so I don't have to reach for the steering wheel." -Yakuza77. \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | "I'm 6'4" and a large person. In the front or passenger seat there's ample room for me to sit an extended period of time. The back however is cramped but doable. Mine is a Juke SV." -SleepDep247. \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | "My hubby at 6'2" with 34" inseam and broad shoulders does fine with it." -TortoiseGirl. \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | "My adult mountain bike barely fits in the back, without removing any wheels. Wasn't hard to stuff the bike in, it did require moving the front passenger seat fairly forward; driver's seat, too. I couldn't recline the seatback quite as far as I would've liked, because of the bike's rear wheel. Remove the front wheel and it's an easy fit for two bicycles." \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | "6'2 185 34inseam I fit fine with the drivers seat all the way back on the tracks and leaned back slightly for comfort since I have long arms." -zna03. \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | "I fit ok in my juke, but if I could put the seat back 2 or 3 more inches it would be perfection". JayDawge. \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | "I think the base model "S" has a slightly more head room because there is no moonroof. The higher trim levels "SV" & "SL" come with a moonroof." - East Bay J. \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | "I'm 6'2" and fit. With the seat all the way back I am pretty comfortable. I usually get 32" inseams for my jeans. My torso is tall, so I have an inch or two of room above my head. I drive a Juke SL." - JRS3RD\\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | "I drive a Juke SL AWD. I'm 6ft 3in. 254 lbs. 36 in-seam pants. No problems what-so-ever fitting." - Stealth-91. \\ | ||

- | .\\ | ||
- | * For myself... The goal year for my first Juke, hopefully AWD and red interior accents. Ideally something higher than a Juke S, so I'll have a backup camera. \\ | ||

- | * Sept 2015: Nissan has released the first teaser image of a new crossover concept that will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show. No Juke bubbles, this is more edgey. \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | * Below, a concept photo of the Nissan Gripz, in an official concept video from Nissan Europe. Giving the Juke a more stealth-fighter edgey racecar look, with less bubbly odd-ball-cartoon. Release year unknown. This concept will be built on Nissan's new multi-purpose platform with a number of other Nissan cars using the same platform. Soon the "Nissan Z" will be revealed, which may be a different crossover with fairly similar styling and a round Z badge. \\ | ||
- | .\\ | ||
- | * Oct2015: Current news, is the 2018 Juke will be a complete remake. Using a multi-purpose chassis other Nissans will use. Gripz was likely just a concept name. \\ | ||
