Then, the door handles with lock there is a smart (intelligent keys) to push the start button and autofold (mirror). This Juke type CVT for RX, including zennon lights, mud guard, parking sensors and tiltpipe.

When entered into, the design of the center consul model motorcycle gas tank, making the wheelhouse and front passengers feel relieved. Radiated in sports car style dash, especially the top of the instrument given indicators such spoilers. Semi-racing-style seats and steering wheel diameters taken from the Nissan 370Z.

By utilizing the new technology of Nissan's I-Con (Integrated Control System), including a Driver Select (Eco, Normal and Sport). When the corner was broken and gobble up a lot of corners "S", the tire can be detected through the steering wheel that feels hard. Differences with the other two modes (eco and normal) are more suited to the straight and bend light.

Fun, when it took a sudden power can be obtained without any shifting feel (just press the gas). This is because the transmission is equipped with X-Tronic CVT which is a new generation with the addition of sub-planetary gear, resulting in a wider ratio. But, when using the eco and normal, do not be surprised do not feel "engine brake", except in the "sport" when the "odd" is enabled.
