The ads are shot in the style of the high action movies from Hollywood, and are packed with car chases, and adding to the thrill of the action is the well paced audio narrative. Sure to set a Nissan buff’s pulse racing, the videos seem to be creating a new style of marketing cars.

The ‘Trophy’ ad that elaborates on how the Nissan Juke came to have a unique center console, which is reminiscent of a motorcycle fuel tank, takes viewers on a ride, which encapsulates the journey of urban predator and prey – featuring a contest of superiority between a motorcycle and the Juke.

Viewers are hooked by the elaborate chases and the stunts – including one where the car follows the bike off the roof of one building onto the next. Ultimately, the Juke prevails, and adorns itself with the spoils of the victory, the trophy – which is embedded in between the two front seats as a motorbike-fuel-tank and now functions as a center console.

The ads are sure to appeal to enthusiasts across the gamers-action flick-car buff demographic, who are already playing and replaying the YouTube video. Check out the video below:

The best part is that engineers have actually managed to ensure that fuel efficiency has improved even with the additional power.

Driving is definitely going be smoother – new options include the deactivation of the all-wheel drive system when the vehicle is traveling less than 10 km/h (6 mph). The new strut bars that are present under the dashboard greatly add to chassis rigidity and responsiveness.
