Nissan Juke Performance Overview
Nissan’s Juke established its performance identity in the U.S. market from 2011 to 2015, covered here by 11 verified tests spanning five model years. Within the F15 generation, performance started with the turbocharged MR16DDT 1.6-liter gasoline four-cylinder, rated from 188 hp in mainstream trims to higher-output NISMO variants. Early results set the baseline at 6.8 seconds to 60 mph for the 2011 SV, while the 2011 SL ran 7.5 seconds, showing the spread between trims even before the line expanded.
The major shift came in 2012 with the Juke R V6, which replaced the standard four-cylinder layout with a twin-turbocharged VR38DETT V6 and 545 hp. That version reset the model’s ceiling at 3.6 seconds to 60 mph and a 11.9-second quarter-mile at 117.5 mph, the quickest figures recorded for the nameplate. Later production-oriented performance trims kept the Juke in the mid-6-second range, including the 2013 NISMO at 6.5 seconds and the 2014 NISMO RS at 6.4 seconds to 60 mph.
Across the available tests, the Juke remains a gasoline-only performance line with outputs ranging from 188 to 545 hp, averaging 6.71 seconds to 60 mph and 15.14 seconds in the quarter-mile.

How we verify Nissan Juke performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Nissan Juke trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Nissan Juke performance FAQs
11 questions For 2015, the quickest Nissan Juke on record is the NISMO RS at 6.4 seconds from 0-60 mph. The 2015 SL was tested at 6.9 seconds in one run and 7.4 seconds in another, so the 2015 range covered by verified tests runs from 6.4 to 7.4 seconds.
The fastest Nissan Juke ever recorded is the 2012 Juke R V6, which reached 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and ran the quarter-mile in 11.9 seconds at 117.5 mph. That result is from a heavily modified vehicle, so it stands as the quickest overall Juke test rather than the quickest stock one.
The quickest stock Nissan Juke on record is the 2015 Juke NISMO RS at 6.4 seconds from 0-60 mph. Across all 11 Juke tests, that is the best production-style result. The overall fastest Juke is quicker, but that 3.6-second run came from a heavily modified 2012 R V6.
The 2015 Nissan Juke NISMO RS reaches 60 mph in 6.4 seconds. It also covers the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds at 94.8 mph. That makes it the quickest 2015 Juke test on record and the fastest stock Juke result overall among the verified runs.
The F15 Nissan Juke, covering 2011 through 2019, averages 6.71 seconds from 0-60 mph across 11 recorded tests. The quickest F15 run is the 2012 R V6 at 3.6 seconds, while the generation spans outputs from 188 to 545 hp and includes turbocharged and twin-turbocharged gasoline versions.
The fastest F15 Nissan Juke is the 2012 R V6, with a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds. It is also the quickest quarter-mile F15 on record at 11.9 seconds with a 117.5 mph trap speed. That car is classified as heavily modified, so it is not the fastest stock F15.
The fastest stock F15 Nissan Juke is the 2015 NISMO RS at 6.4 seconds from 0-60 mph. Since the entire Juke record here falls within the F15 generation, that also makes it the quickest stock Juke overall. The only faster F15 result is the heavily modified 2012 R V6 at 3.6 seconds.
The NISMO RS is quicker. Across recorded tests, the NISMO RS averages 6.55 seconds to 60 mph, with a best run of 6.4 seconds. The SL averages 7.22 seconds, with a best of 6.9 seconds. For 2015 specifically, the NISMO RS ran 6.4 seconds, while the SL ran 6.9 and 7.4 seconds.
The SV is slightly quicker on average. Across recorded runs, the SV averages 7.05 seconds from 0-60 mph, while the SL averages 7.22 seconds. The SL does have the stronger single best run at 6.9 seconds, compared with the SV’s best of 6.8 seconds, so the gap is small.
Across all 11 recorded Nissan Juke tests, the average 0-60 mph time is 6.71 seconds. That figure matches the production average here because all 11 runs are counted in the main totals. On the slow end, the slowest recorded Juke needed 7.5 seconds, while the fastest overall managed 3.6 seconds.
Across all recorded tests, the Nissan Juke averages a 15.14-second quarter-mile at 93.6 mph. The quickest quarter-mile on record is the 2012 R V6 at 11.9 seconds and 117.5 mph. For current-year 2015 examples, the NISMO RS ran 14.9 seconds at 94.8 mph, while the SL posted 15.4 and 15.8 seconds.
