Nissan Juke Curb Weight by Years and Trims
OK, so it's between 3100-3200lbs.
That's still a 5 doors, 5 passenger AWD crossover. Stressing awd based on the components it takes to create AWD.
Now if we look at a FWD NISMO Juke it weighs about 2900lbs or slightly under. This is still a 5 passenger crossover WITH 5 doors and a raised extended chassis.
I would take the Pepsi challenge that if we chopped a fwd Juke into a 3 door car, it would weigh 400lbs less with removing the extended roof chassis, 2 doors and the whole back row.
So either way you cut it. It's light. So considering that the GRIP Z is a 2,550 lb awd concept with an auto transmission. It proves HOW SERIOUS Nissan is about weight reduction.
The Juke is still light by comparison of its competitors
Take that 2,888 lbs minus 388 lbs would be 2500 lbs, add the weight of a tt6 +180lbs. Bbk, lsd +120lbs Aero n bits 100lbs.
I guesstimate 2,900-3,000lbs.
