Nissan U.K. will offer the funky Juke crossover a special edition trim level that provides added novelties and cosmetic enhancements.

In the U.K., the Juke is Nissan's second most popular model, with 28,862 cars sold last year. Since its launch in 2010, more than 500,000 Jukes have been sold worldwide

In the cabin, the special edition Juke features a centre console and door trims finished in glossy black. Taking centre stage is the new generation Nissan Connect system available with a large 5.8-inch colour touchscreen that integrates satellite navigation system with Bluetooth connectivity for mobile phones and MP3 players.

The new system features Google Send-To-Car technology that allows owners to plan and send their route to the car - before leaving the house. Drivers also have access to Google's Points of Interest database, and through the system can call for weather forecasts, local fuel prices and flight information.

Nissan has also enhanced the navigation system interface, introducing a new 'exit view' display with lane guidance, and an economy readout that 'scores' the driver according to how economically they are driving. The smoother and more efficiently they drive, the higher the score.

On the other hand Nissan's Dynamic Control System allows the driver to select their preferred driving dynamic mode, or control ancillary control functions via the touchscreen. Other standard equipment includes a reversing camera with colour display, automatic climate control and audio with Bluetooth Compatibility and USB port.

The n-tec will be offered available across all engine and drivetrain combinations. Buyers can choose from three engines - one diesel and two petrol. Nissan's ALL-MODE 4x4i four-wheel drive and CVT transmission is also available as an option when bundled with the 1.6-litre DIG-T engine with 187bhp - which also features a black interior headliner and a dual exit exhaust finisher.

Limited to customers in the U.K., the special trimmed model - dubbed the Juke n-tec - will cost £16,295 (S$31,000), and is based on the existing Acenta premium model. It stands out with its 18-inch black and silver n-tec alloy wheels supporting 225/45 tyres, gloss black B-pillars and door mirrors and black bezels for the bonnet light strips.
