Nissan Juke S
The design of the Juke S is pretty funky, specifically for an SUV – rather surprising since Nissan tends to create stylish SUVs. Despite its exterior, the Nissan Juke S is a car that is great to drive, which certainly helps in getting past the style fail. This crossover is the most powerful in its class, since its engine comes with input from Nissan Motor Sport. The newer model may have CVT instead of manual transmission, but the previous model is still very impressive.
Volkswagen Tiguan
Until now, Volkswagen still hasn’t completely recovered from the Dieselgate scandal that erupted in 2015, with their sales numbers in the different market segments reflecting this. The Tiguan is actually a decent SUV and it has Volkswagen’s standard quality and conservative yet sleek design. Yet, it only sold 10,000 units in North America, which is nothing in relation to the Nissan Rogue selling 101,000 units in the US alone. All the same, throughout 2016, the Tiguan experienced a 10% increase, so its sales are bound to rise in the future.
