Tan Chong launches Nissan JUKE - Pre-launch orders exceeds expectations

With the arrival of JUKE, Nissan has cemented its position as the leading brand in the crossover market.

With JUKE, Nissan ushers in a new genre of vehicles: the compact sports crossover. It combines the agility of a compact sports coupe with the security and toughness of an SUV. From its sporty front and rear lights to its large, imposing fenders, it stands out with its bold design and strong imagery. Along with its splendid performance, the JUKE is a hit with consumers worldwide, having recorded over 50,000 unit orders around the world since its debut in Japan six months ago.

Similarly in Singapore, JUKE has received positive response for its distinctive exterior styling, superior driving experience and innovative technology since the order books opened in September. Sales for the JUKE have been encouraging - the first three shipments have almost all been sold, with 40 per cent of buyers opting for the more powerful JUKE 1.6L DIG-T variant.

"The demand for JUKE underlines buyers' warm reception towards its innovative concept and value, breaking barriers in what is considered an all new category. Delivering a new experience by integrating the appeals of a sports coupe and SUV and paired with highly innovative technology, it is no wonder the JUKE captures people's heart." said Mr Ron Lim, General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Tan Chong Motor Sales. "Given the strong response, we have decided to extend a $3,000 launch discount to all buyers of the new JUKE from now till the end of the year!".
