► Updated Nissan Juke revealed for 2024
► Mostly an interior update with new tech
► Still available with a petrol or hybrid powertrain
Nissan has given its Juke crossover a refresh, mostly focusing on the baby SUV’s interior.
No, really – this is the ‘new’ Juke for 2024 and beyond. So much so that the biggest fanfare of the car’s updated exterior design is the fact it’s available in yellow again, like the previous generation. New wheel designs and a fresh tyre compound for the Juke Hybrid model feature, and a new N-Sport model grade throws some more styling at the car. Aaaaand that’s about it.
But inside is where it’s at, and where Nissan has focused a lot of its attention. The pre-facelift car’s interior looked interesting until you started to poke and prod – then you noticed the old-generation infotainment, fiddly user interface and some very cheap-feeling materials. We should know – we didn’t really get on with our Juke long-term test car back in 2019 all that well.
This new Juke, however, aims to up the game with a redesigned cockpit. New seats that promise to be more comfortable, as well as fresh material choices for each of the car’s trim levels are included.
The most noticeable bit, though, is the new 12.3-inch infotainment screen that’s angled towards the driver. You can customise the main screen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included. Fully-digital instruments are included from N-Connecta trim and above, too. Nissan is also keen to point out that the Juke has a quick-access custom mode for all of its safety tech, minimising the amount of button presses needed.
As for engines, the range remains unchanged. The entry-level is a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine that develops 112bhp and is available with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch auto. Then there’s the Juke Hybrid model, which develops 141bhp and is capable of around 58mpg.
Prices start at £23,485 for the entry-level Acenta Premium.
