The Nissan JUKE was one of the first small crossovers to lead with pure design attitude rather than practicality — bug-eyed, love-it-or-hate-it, and unusually quick for its class thanks to a standard turbocharged engine.

Model profile
The US JUKE covers a single generation, internally F15, launched for 2011 and lightly updated for 2015 with revised styling and infotainment. Unlike Europe, the US never received a naturally aspirated version — every American JUKE is turbocharged, which is part of what makes these cars appealing. The range topped out with the NISMO and hotter NISMO RS models, the latter a genuinely quick pocket crossover.
Powertrain and equipment
Every US JUKE uses the 1.6-litre DIG-T turbocharged four (engine code MR16DDT), making about 188 hp and 240 Nm in standard form. The NISMO RS raised output to around 215 hp with a stronger clutch and revised tuning.
The JUKE is only a five-door subcompact crossover, though its coupe-like roofline and hidden rear door handles disguise that. US trims ran from S and SV to SL, with the sportier SR and the NISMO and NISMO RS at the top.
Vehicle selection
US JUKE supply is finite because sales ended in 2017, so patience helps — but clean, low-mileage cars do appear, particularly the desirable NISMO and AWD examples.
Import a used Nissan JUKE from the USA if you want a distinctive, turbocharged small crossover with real character, and ideally the NISMO specification that made the model a cult favourite.

Pre-purchase review
The JUKE is generally dependable, but the two areas to scrutinise are the turbo and the transmission. The 1.6 DIG-T can suffer from carbon build-up (direct injection), and neglected examples may show turbo or boost-control issues; timing-chain noise on higher-mileage cars is worth listening for.
Germany and Europe
The most important difference is the model itself: the US only ever sold the turbocharged first generation, so a US import is not the same car as a current European JUKE.
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Typical TÜV work covers headlight adjustment to the EU beam pattern, fitting or activating a rear fog lamp, and confirming the odometer and speedometer readings.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The import process for a Nissan JUKE is planned around the specific listing, location, documents and commissioned service scope.
Questions and answers
No. The US only sold the first-generation, turbocharged JUKE (2011–2017); the current European second generation was never offered there.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
The manual avoids the CVT's known maintenance sensitivity; if you want a CVT car, insist on documented fluid changes.
Generally yes when maintained, with the CVT and turbo being the areas that most affect long-term reliability.
Yes. A related first-generation JUKE was sold in Europe, so Nissan's network supplies most service parts.
The NISMO and NISMO RS, with more power, Recaro seats and a sharper chassis.
Typically several weeks door to door, depending on freight and customs.
