Nissan"s Juke is out...

Nissan"s Juke is out of the box! Just last week the Japanese manufacturer released a first official teaser shot of its all-new baby Qashqai, and at the same time revealed its name - "Juke". And now, using that image as a guide, we have the most accurate pictures yet of the firm"s all-new crossover.

With the mould-breaking Qashqai, cut-price GT-R and now this compact SUV - designed to steal sales from traditional family hatchbacks - Nissan is fast earning a reputation for offering interesting alternatives to  established models in the market. And judging by our exclusive images, the Juke"s compact footprint and Tonka-toy looks mean it has every chance of mirroring the Qashqai"s incredible showroom success.

Slotting in between the Note

and Qashqai, the Juke will expand Nissan"s broad range even further.

And when it goes on sale in October, it should provide a welcome boost

for the UK car industry too - it will be built alongside the Qashqai

and Qashqai+2 at Nissan"s Sunderland plant.

The Qazana concept car"s

swollen wheels arches have been carried over, along with the narrow,

elongated headlights and oversize fog lights underneath, while the roofline have taken on a more angular profile.

Full details on the newcomer

will be realeaed at the global media unveiling on February 10th, but

it"s public debut won"t be until the Geneva Motor Show in March.
