• New range-topping ‘Shiro’ model
• Raft of interior and exterior design details
• Priced from £17,695

The Nissan Juke model line-up has gained a top-of-the-range limited edition, named Shiro.

Replacing the old Kuro limited edition model, the Shiro is essentially a trim upgrade, featuring white detailing on the centre console, door panels and window switch surrounds.

Leather items such as the steering wheel, gear-shift surround and seat edgings all get contrasting white stitching, while the seats themselves have a double layer of fabric in white, which is visible through the perforated leather facing. Illuminated chrome-plated door sills complete the interior makeover.

External upgrades include dark grey 17-inch alloy wheels and trim detailing in gloss black and satin silver. A new aubergine colour is also available unique to the Shiro, called Nightshade.

Available only in top-spec Tekna trim, the Juke Shiro starts at £17,695. All three engine options are available and comprise of a 108bhp 1.5-litre diesel, a 115bhp naturally aspirated 1.6-litre petrol, and a turbocharged direct injection 1.6-litre petrol that develops 187bhp.

Petrol models come with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, and diesel cars get a six-speed version. A CVT automatic gearbox is also available as an option, as is four-wheel drive.

The Nissan Juke Shiro is available to order now, with the first customer cars being delivered on March 1.
