MELBOURNE, Australia – Nissan Australia can confirm that the popular Juke will be on-sale in Australia for the first time in 2013.

The introduction of the Juke will form part of an impressive wave of new models for Nissan, which will see new products introduced into Nissan dealerships roughly every two and a half months for the next two years.

This product offensive is spear-headed by the return of the Nissan Pulsar and the release of the all-new Nissan Patrol. The Pulsar sedan and Patrol will both go on-sale from 1 February 2013, with the Pulsar hatch, which will include the sporty SSS, to follow roughly 100 days afterwards.

"Adding the Juke to our line-up will give Nissan another injection of innovation andexcitement as well as strengthening our already-impressive SUV range," said Nissan Australia Managing Director and CEO William F Peffer Jr.

"The Juke is a car that fits with our brand and has been highly anticipated in the Australian market for quite some time. I'm pleased to meet that anticipation with confirmation that the Juke will be turning heads on Australian roads from 2013."

Further information and Australian specification details for Juke will be announced at a later date, with Nissan confirming today that the Juke will be sold in both two-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations in Australia.
