Official teasers of Infiniti’s rebadged Nissan Juke surfaced on the internet today affording us our first look at the premium-ized small crossover model that bears the name ESQ.

It’s not yet clear if this is the final production model that will go on sale initially in China towards the end of the year or if it’s a thinly disguised concept, as we only have these cropped teasers of the car to go by.

The cosmetic changes over the Juke seem to be limited to the front grille, the trim parts both inside and out, and the 18-inch wheels, with Chinese media stating that the car will be offered exclusively with the Juke’s 1.6-liter turbocharged four tuned to deliver 197hp or 200PS matched to a standard CVT and all-wheel drive.

We’ll keep you posted if new details emerge.
