Following an earlier announcement in January, Nissan has released UK pricing of a new top-of-the-range version of the Juke named Shiro, which is Japanese for white. The Shiro replaces the limited edition Kuro, which was named after the Japanese word for black, as the flagship model of the series.

However, don’t go looking for any white shades on the outside as the Juke’s Shiro name refers to the interior trim bits and more specifically, the center console, door panels and window switch surrounds.

In addition, the leather wrapped steering wheel, gear gaiter and the edges of the leather seats all feature white stitching.

Other standard features include the illuminated chrome-plated sill protectors for the front doors and the Juke-branded velour floor mats.

On the outside, the Shiro is identified by the dark grey 17-inch alloy wheels, the satin silver finish to the door handles and mirror caps plus a gloss black finish to the B-pillars.

UK customers can choose from any of the colours offered on the regular Juke models plus a bespoke deep aubergine finish, which is exclusive to this edition.

The Shiro is available all with three engine choices including a 110PS 1.5-litre dCi diesel, a 117PS normally aspirated 1.6-litre petrol, and a turbocharged direct injection petrol 1.6-litre DIG-T with 190PS.

On the road prices start from £17,695 with first deliveries to commence on March 1.
