Where each one leads
Nissan Juke
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Subaru Crosstrek
- Against cars of the same year, the Subaru Crosstrek comes out better in New York safety inspections (fails 16% less often than average) than the Nissan Juke (fails 12% more often than average).
- Fewer Subaru Crosstrek cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (0.0% against 2.9%).
- NHTSA rates the 2027 Subaru Crosstrek at 5 of 5 stars, the 2016 Nissan Juke at 4.
Too close to call: official combined fuel use, Canada (l/100 km).
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
