These three young adventurers -Cactus, Juke and Captur- make their designs and customization are three ways to turn a simple car into something more upscale.

Remember that European market study done a few years ago, which were analyzed and tidied the arguments buying a car country, and design was practically priority factor in most markets: if it was nice, it immediately became first option above anything trivial issues like price, the reliability, the security, etc. If your curiosity leads you to wonder what was the first condition in Spain, The study indicated that the Spanish elegíamos by price. Intention, aspiration or reality, what is certain is that in Spain outsell Dacia Sandero, what Alfa Romeo Mito… and any other car in a few months this year 2014. Clearly other variables involved and joints for this to be so, but hey, that’s another story.

What I believe is that the Nissan Juke It is one of those cars that hypnotizes you see anything else. Nothing compares to your sporty and futuristic design and although maybe not you dare or not the car you need, sure you admire your step. He New Citroen C4 Cactus our attention is also carried not only by that of novelty. Citroën He has raised a car aesthetically different, not silhouette, but by numerous shades (headlights, bumpers, roof, etc.), among which largely define and originality of the model, Airbump door protectors.

Meanwhile impudence, the Renault Captur It may seem obvious, but in urban best-selling SUV in our country (curious, its range is that of the lowest price), you can combine two colors in the body and wear matching or Contrast frames and bezels the dashboard, a trend increasingly seen in many cars on the market.

Each style

Inside each follows its own script. He Juke recreates an environment daringly sports. With a beautiful and accurate driving position, and controls its entirety (the change is fantastic lever for height and hardness guided and inserts) give us the same sportsmanship image. He Juke He suggests a dynamic set in motion you just confirmed. Immediately, you notice one firmness tread and reactivity even exaggerated movements, especially in town. By frame is a whole GTI, but the real thing. Tanta solidity transmits a lot trust already circulating on the road, but also requires reactivity certain qualities in winding sections, so fast that you join curve and the direct relationship that appears between management and the movements of the body and vice versa.

nor rear axle which is hidden ready to intervene in the rotation of the car, or because you seek, or their "radical" configuration, exalted perhaps ridden by the beautiful but also exaggerated optional 18-inch wheels. If you know firsthand the "go kart feeling" of the Mini, I assure you this Juke not detract him. This exciting scenario requires renounce comfort you’re looking at a good road when no such precise stability and not to be so careless with City potholes.

Surely there is nothing so opposed to Juke as the Citroën Cactus. The new Cactus It is a product typical Citroën, in which the ride comfort and overall smoothness They are above any other consideration. Its overall pleasure starts when you sit down, because you perceive more interior space, as well wider seats and soft. All controls are nice to use and rolling immediately, you sense a general isolation greater. As Wheeler is a model much more refined than the "rude" Juke and much more comfortable on any path. Obviously, it not as specialized as sporty as the Juke, with which you will feel in their element on twisted mountain paths; like in good roads and long hours with Cactus, a car that even resorting to an elongated platform C3, feel treads stillness and poise of a compact model.

As its general image, Renault Captur It does not have such a dynamic personality defined as rivals. Neither is the sport that does not hide being the Juke (Although the Captur great stops) nor the rodador comfortable with car tread is greater than C4 Cactus. But Captur results in a balanced and pleasing pattern in all respects, good city car and also rolls freely outside the city and while exalting without any conditions as its rivals, it easier to go fast with the Captur (S firmer suspension), that the Cactus, as is more comfortable and the carefree rodador Juke. For these reasons, should not be a coincidence the characteristics of the mechanical Diesel from each of them.

He Nissan Juke and Renault Captur based on the same engine block, the Nice 1.5 dCi from Renault, although in the case of Juke, It is the version of 110 hp and the Captur of 90. To emphasize further the intentions of each, Juke count with one 6-speed with a final development even something shorter that of Captur with 5 speed. You can get an idea that the reactivity of Juke chassis, also is accompanied by a more immediate engine response and forceful. Staggering is delightful mountain road, of course, but freeway you can reach feel short of development, especially if you compare it with the solvent Cactus.

refined 1.6 BlueHDi block Citroen (It is made of aluminum) yields 100 hp and soft 5-speed it approaches a generous 60 km / h final development, a lot more than the Juke, so it is clear again that it is the best combination to roll comfortably on the road without lacking a good answer. He 1.6 BlueHDI result bright at low speeds and is just a few laps to respond forcefully. This also involved in the consumption, with a surprising Cactus getting almost record numbers. In city records also astonish and that your engine 1.6 BlueHDI It has changed its exceptional system Stop-Start by reversible alternator anticipating engine stop below 20 km / h, for conventional system, such as riding Captur and Juke.

Now that you know that the image of each of them does not deceive, finally note that the Juke rear row is coupe, narrow, short height and uncomfortable access; that there behind The Captur is a giant, with its modular sliding bench seat which allows the boot and the rear seats according to the needs. And that Cactus extrovert waiver conventional windows and just fold down minimally. Such is the exclusivity, not necessarily functional.
