Nissan prices 2014 Juke Nismo RS, NV200

Nissan announced pricing for its NV200 van and Juke Nismo RS on Friday. The Ford Transit Connect-fighting NV will start at $21,100 while the Juke Nismo RS will cost $26,930. Both prices include destination fees.

The NV200 offers 122.7 cubic feet of cargo space along with a 53-inch height. Split rear doors allow for easy loading, as does its low floor height of only 19.2 inches. Payload is rated at 1,500 pounds. A 131-hp four with a CVT is the only powertrain option, returning 24 mpg combined.

The 2014 Juke Nismo RS will be the third model in the lineup, stationed above the base Juke and Juke Nismo. It'll feature a 215 hp, 210 lb-ft four-cylinder with a six-speed manual or CVT.

Our only problem with the Juke lineup is that buyers can't get all-wheel drive and a manual transmission. -- you have to pick one or the other.

The RS trim adds Recaro seats, carbon-fiber finishes, a special red-and-black color scheme with suede and Alcantara leather.

The Juke Nismo starts at $23,800, the base Juke starts at $19,800.

Speaking of the little Juke, Nissan will show off a redesigned version at the Geneva motor show next week. The company sent out a teaser on Thursday, showing only a bit of the car's profile. Nissan revealed that the car will be more efficient, feature advanced technology and be “more practical.” It will also feature “design enhancements,” whatever that means.

Check out the photo below, and come back next week for more Geneva motor show news.
