Nissan imported a good 200,000 plus Nissan Jukes into the US, but only about 2,285 were the Nismo RS unicorns during the 2014-2017 run for the RS. Owners on the Juke Nismo forum think the six-speed manual model to be fairly rare. Nismo of course stands for ニッサン・モータースポーツ・インターナショナル株式会社 Nissan Mōtā Supōtsu Intānashonaru Kabushiki-gaisha, or Nissan Motorsport per Wiki. The plain Juke and Juke Nismo came with a 188hp turbo four, and the Juke Nismo RS beefed up to 215hp. See, its not all about the red mirrors!
The crossover was available with a 6-speed manual transmission and all wheel drive and good for a 0-60mph in an okay mid six second run. The suspensions were quite tweaked and lowered for the RS models, but I don’t get lowering an elevated crossover that started out as a much lower car in the first place? Here’s a review from Autotrader.
The Nismo RS got good marks for the shit-hot race car seats and for being fun to drive. That said, Car and Driver named the Nissan Juke as one of the 20 ugliest crossovers and described it has “frog faced”. Beauty is in the bug eyes of the beholder, I guess.
New Nissan Juke RS models sold for almost $30,000 so would have liked to have seen these for cheaper at CarMax, but the price isn’t that far off of the similarly low mileage comps on Autotrader. Unfortunately this model is 2WD. CarMax has a 4WD Nismo RS but it’s automatic. Will be on the lookout for a 6-speed 4WD model and update if I find one. Find this low-mileage, two-owner 2014 Nissan Juke Nismo RS here in Boynton Beach, Florida. 
I’m 99% sure the Juke Nismo RS was available with a 6-speed OR AWD – not both together. The FWD cars (?) were manuals, while AWD forced the slushbox for shifting duties.
Thanks. Suspect you’re 100% correct!
I own a 2014 Juke Nismo RS. It’s the automatic AWD. Only has 17k miles on it though!
Hey Joyce. I think I wrote that piece before I remembered that EVERY car out there is beautiful to someone. My apologies. I loved my AMC Gremlin and AMC Spirit back in the day and would not have appreciated them being called ugly. Anyway….I take it you love the Juke Nismo RS?
