Inside Line
The Juke's main drawback is its startlingly low fuel efficiency. While the EPA rated our CVT all-wheel-drive Juke was rated at 25 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, most reviews we've seen logged 22 mpg or less, even with long-distance highway cruising included. That would be low for a mid-size sedan, let alone a subcompact hatchback.
Reviewers aren't the only ones who are dismayed by the Juke's mileage. Owner forums carry a steady drumbeat of complaints of mileage remaining in the low 20-mpg range regardless of how it's driven.
The low mileage translates to a full-tank range of only around 300 miles, with the low-fuel warning light going on well before that. Most cars will usually go longer on a single tank than passengers' bladders will permit, so the Juke's short range is a shock. We've debated giving it an even lower score of 6, but for now, will give a little more standing to the EPA's official test numbers.
The Juke is not offered with any alternative powertrains, such as a hybrid or a diesel.
Conclusion
The 2011 Nissan Juke’s gas mileage is low enough to shock both reviewers and new owners.
