The 2011 Nissan Juke has turned heads for its unique, sporty look in the crossover category. On Thursday, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) answered a question most forget to ask in light of the Juke’s undeniable style: What about safety?

The IIHS named the 2011 Juke a Top Safety Pick, joining the LEAF, Cube, and Infiniti M37/M56 as the latest Nissan model to be awarded the honor. Top Safety Picks are required to meet the IIHS’s highest rating in front, rear, and side impact protection. They also must be equipped with electronic stability control and receive the highest possible roof ranking.

So what does it take to achieve this ranking? Turns out to not be so simple. Here’s the list:

• Nissan Advanced Air Bag System with dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant-classification sensors
• Driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags
• Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags for front and rear-seat outboard occupant head protection
• Vehicle Dynamic Control with Traction Control System
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System
• 3-Point ALR/ELR passenger seat belt system
• Front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters
• Front-seat Active Head Restraints
• LATCH System
• Energy-absorbing steering column
• High-strength steel side-door guard beams
• Zone Body construction with front and rear crumple zones

Nissan’s commitment to safety and innovation is reflected in the Nissan Juke receiving the Top Safety Pick from IIHS. The Nissan Juke has a unique combination of motorsports-inspired design and unexpected levels of technology and safety features– all with a starting MSRP under $19,000. – Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc

Quirky vehicles like the Nissan Juke have been eliciting strong responses from reviewers since their debut. It seems when it comes to the Juke, either you’re a friend or a foe. But according to a recent Wall Street Journal article by the (quirky himself) Dan Neil, the fact that vehicles like this exist shows how the automotive industry has changed. Car companies like Nissan can now design and produce models that are “highly tailored to a particular, even peculiar, set of tastes”.

The Juke is quick, fun to drive and a great value. One feature that sets it apart from other vehicles in its price range is the three-mode dynamics system. Choosing from “Eco”, “Normal” or “Sport”, the driver can control speed, performance and gas mileage.

The only car that comes close to the Juke in terms of attributes is the new Mini Countryman, and you’ll pay thousands more for the privilege. – Dan Neil, Wall Street Journal

The Nissan Juke may not be for everybody, but that’s the point.
