Nissan Juke

NF15Stock varies — page stays live

The NF15 designates the high-specification four-wheel-drive Juke variants. Powered exclusively by the 1.6-liter turbocharged MR16DDT, these models replaced the standard rear torsion beam suspension with an independent multi-link rear setup to accommodate Nissan's ALL-MODE 4x4-i torque-vectoring AWD system.

Common questions about the NF15

How does the NF15 suspension differ from other F15 Juke models?
To package the rear differential, the NF15 features an independent multi-link rear suspension instead of the simpler torsion beam found on front-wheel-drive models.
What is unique about the NF15's four-wheel-drive system?
It utilizes Nissan's ALL-MODE 4x4-i with torque vectoring, which can split torque up to 50:50 between the front and rear axles, and dynamically split torque between the left and right rear wheels to help rotate the car through corners.
