• New partnership between JUKE Kiiro and The Batman movie
• New Ceramic Grey body colour off-set with yellow details for sophisticated but playful look

PARIS, France – Building on its pioneering heritage of bold design, Nissan will offer a special version of its iconic JUKE crossover called "Kiiro".

The Batman movie partnership

To support the launch of the limited edition JUKE Kiiro, Nissan is thrilled to be entering a promotional partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures to support the cinematic debut of the all-new epic film The Batman.

Set to premiere in [country] on [date], The Batman is the most hotly anticipated film of 2022 and of course features Bruce Wayne and The Batman, as well as fan-favourite Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. The film finds The Caped Crusader on a journey from vengeance toward hope. We at Nissan feel that the Nissan JUKE Kiiro embodies the same sort of spirit that celebrates a journey of discovery.

This partnership will be activated in cinemas, on social media and on billboards across [country], with JUKE imagery alongside iconic The Batman film graphics."

Eye-catching design

Taken from the Japanese word Kiiro, which means "Yellow", this special version unveils a new and very modern JUKE body colour called Ceramic Grey, which is off-set by the addition of unique bright "spiced lemon" yellow finishers on the lower part of the front bumper, at the base of the doors and rear bumper.

Together, these flashes of colour add dynamism and a provocative streak to the JUKE Kiiro's exterior styling. An additional eye-catching detail is the aluminium finisher fitted to the lip of the front valance.

The design of the JUKE Kiiro's 19" wheels are taken from the top-grade Tekna version, but are painted black to give it a unique twist.

A sophisticated pattern, can be seen on the mirrors and roof edges, the latter is fading as if wind or speed blew it away towards the rear of the vehicle.

The overall effect is to give the JUKE Kiiro an understated, daring but eye-catching look.

Yellow details for the interior

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black and metallic grey leatherette. In addition to this new material, the front and rear seats feature flashes of yellow in the form of stitching, as do the central armrest, centre console, front doors and running across the cockpit soft pad. The overall effect aligns the interior and exterior appearances. An aluminium plate applied on the centre console, forward of the gear shifter, signifies this Special Version.

"Since the introduction of the first eye-catching personalisation options on the original JUKE, we know how much customers appreciate the JUKE's styling, and the way its personality lends itself to playful additions. We wanted to create a special version which looks serious, with added presence and boldness - but that wasn't sombre or boring. I'm confident the JUKE Kiiro will be a great success," said Arnaud Charpentier, Region Vice President, Product Strategy and Pricing, Nissan AMIEO region.

The JUKE Kiiro special version will be limited to only 5000 units across the region and follows previous JUKE special versions Kuro (black) and Shiro (white) of the first generation JUKE.

The design for the JUKE Kiiro was led by the team at Nissan Design Europe, in central London, where both generations of the segment-busting JUKE were designed, as well as Nissan's other segment-pioneering crossover, Qashqai.

Not just a pretty face

Like the rest of the range, the JUKE Kiiro is powered by a 3-cylinder petrol engine which is both efficient and responsive. The 1.0-litre unit features a turbocharger and produces 114PS and 200Nm of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, while a dual-clutch automatic with paddle shifts is also available.

Intuitive, easy-to-use technology is abundant in the JUKE. The safety features include Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Cyclist Recognition, Intelligent Speed Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Blind Spot Intervention, warning drivers when there is a vehicle hidden from view alongside them, and guiding the JUKE back into the lane to prevent a collision.

The NissanConnect infotainment system allows customers to use Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto to mirror their favourite smartphone apps on the integrated 8-inch touch screen display.

Drivers can access TomTom Maps & Live Traffic. The JUKE's Google Assistant compatibility offers a wide range of commands, including the ability for drivers to send destinations to the car's navigation system by talking to their smart device.

About THE BATMAN
From Warner Bros. Pictures comes Matt Reeves' "The Batman," starring Robert Pattinson in the dual role of Gotham City's vigilante detective and his alter ego, reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne.  Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies—Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright)—amongst the city's corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens.  When a killer targets Gotham's elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World's Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator's plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.

Reeves ("The Planet of the Apes" franchise) directed from a screenplay by Reeves & Peter Craig, based on characters from DC. Batman was created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger. Dylan Clark (the "Planet of the Apes" films) and Reeves produced the film, with Michael E. Uslan, Walter Hamada, Chantal Nong Vo and Simon Emanuel serving as executive producers.

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents a 6th & Idaho/Dylan Clark Productions Production, a Matt Reeves Film, "The Batman." The film is set to open in theaters in North America March 4, 2022 and internationally beginning 2 March 2022; it will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
