The Nissan Juke is now officially in Thailand, making it the sixth ASEAN country to get Nissan's B-segment crossover after Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei, and Singapore.

The Thai-spec Juke is sourced from Indonesia and gets a 1.6-litre HR16 engine that produces 116 PS at 5,600 rpm and 154 Nm at 4,000 rpm, mated to a CVT.

It's a different combo from the Indonesian-spec car, which uses a slightly less powerful 114 PS / 150 Nm 1.5-litre engine and a CVT.

The Juke comes with Integrated Control (I-Con), a system which manages both climate control and three vehicle drive modes: normal for everyday driving, sport for sportier driving or eco for fuel efficiency.

There's also the Internet Connectivity Entertainment (I-Connect) system, which allows one to surf the internet through wi-fi on a detachable seven-inch screen. The system also has a voice control function.

E and V trim levels are offered, and prices start from THB 819,000 (US$ 25,462).

By comparison, the most affordable 1.2-litre Nissan Almera with a CVT is priced from THB 489,000. The current Toyota Vios is priced from THB 589,000 for the most affordable automatic variant up to THB 734,000 for the S Auto variant.
