Almost a decade after it set the bar for compact crossovers through its distinctive personality and emphasis on fun, the next-generation Nissan JUKE arrives to reinvent the segment once again. Fun to drive as ever, the all-new JUKE delivers new levels of performance and technology, within a striking yet roomier coupe crossover body. With almost 1 million on the road in Europe, the Nissan JUKE has resonated with European customers thanks to its stand-out design. The next-generation JUKE – which was unveiled today in London, Paris, Milan, Barcelona and Cologne – appeals to European drivers, who value design, technology and performance, in addition to practicality, in the crossover segment. With ProPILOT and striking connectivity, JUKE brings Nissan Intelligent Mobility - Nissan's vision for changing how cars are powered, driven and integrated into society - one step further.
"Nissan JUKE is back with its unique identity, even more character, exciting performance and advanced technology that responds to drivers' needs," said Ponz Pandikuthira, Nissan Europe Vice President, Product Planning. "The new design and exciting driving experience will appeal to the growing number of customers opting for compact crossovers. The JUKE has grown up, while still retaining the fun-to-drive qualities that have always made it stand out."
ATHLETIC DESIGN
Nissan JUKE returns to set a new standard in the B-crossover segment with larger dimensions and an athletic stance, striking 19-inch alloy wheels and coupe style 'floating roof' design. Equipped with full LED technology as standard, the latest JUKE retains its iconic circular headlamps alongside with new Y-shaped signature which complements Nissan's V-Motion grille. An exclusive body colour, Fuji Sunset, now completes the line-up of 11 colours.
Transformed on the inside as well, new JUKE is roomier for both passengers and their belongings, with rear-seat knee room increased by 5.8 cm, rear head room by 1.1 cm and a boot capacity of 422 litres – providing 20% more storage room. A reimagined interior offers style and comfort boosted by improved driver positions, increased rear roominess and more user-friendly controls and storage. New soft-touch materials on the dashboard, door trim and footwells offer a premium feel, complemented by standard monoform sporty seats and optional Alcantara® or leather upholstery.
Offering a new level of personalisation, the all-new N-Design grade package ensures that customers can truly make their JUKE their own. Multiple colour combinations for body, roof and interior upholstery are available – bringing out the urban, premium and sporty character of the JUKE. Exterior personalisation is also offered, with customisable bumpers, side sills and 19-inch alloy wheels.
AGILE PERFORMANCE
The sporty JUKE is designed for agility, but the all-new coupe crossover has also grown up. Dimensions are now 4,210 mm length; 1,595 mm height; and a width of 1,800 mm for better roominess while remaining compact and lighter by 23 kg. Thanks to high strength steel, the new model features a more rigid platform that offers better stability, performance and cornering capabilities, and new levels of confidence and control.
The JUKE is powered by an efficient 1.0-liter three-cylinder DIG-T turbocharged petrol engine with 117 PS, giving drivers improved performance, fuel economy and refinement. Available with an engaging 6-speed manual or sporty 7-speed dual-clutch (DCT) paddle-shift transmission, and a driving mode selector (Eco, Standard, Sport), drivers can effortlessly match their driving style to any driving scenario for maximum fun on the road.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES
The JUKE is now loaded with Nissan's infotainment and driver assistance technology. Featuring Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology, the new model is the most connected Nissan ever.
Nissan Intelligent Mobility
Nissan's advance ProPILOT technology, which offers electronically assisted steering, acceleration and braking, will be available on the JUKE for the first time. Designed for highway use in single-lane traffic, the ProPILOT system accelerates and slows downs for the driver to maintain the right distance and speed and also keeps the car centred within the lane.
In addition, JUKE offers a full package of safety technologies, including Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Cyclist Recognition, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Blind Spot Intervention as a Nissan premiere that is unique to the segment. Blind Spot Intervention warns the driver when a car gets into its blind spot and brings JUKE back in the lane.
Connectivity, Infotainment, and BOSE® Personal® Plus
With the new NissanConnect infotainment system, customers can use Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto to mirror their favourite smartphone apps on the 8-inch touch screen display. Drivers can also access TomTom Maps & Live Traffic or activate their In-Car WiFi to allow passengers connecting their laptops or tablets.
The NissanConnect Services app is the perfect mobile companion, offering customers control over multiple aspects of their car. Nissan JUKE owners can now check the door-lock status of their vehicle and lock or unlock their Nissan directly from their smartphone. For increased safety, drivers can also check their tyre pressure and oil level before departing on a trip.
To make JUKE drivers' lives even easier, Google Assistant compatibility gives them control over functions including vehicle lights and sending destinations to the car's navigation system by talking to their smart device.
Drivers and passengers can also play louder with the Bose® Personal® Plus sound system. With eight powerful speakers – including two sets of Bose UltraNearfield speakers integrated into both front seats headrests – listeners can enjoy immersive music in ultra-clear definition.
The all-new Nissan JUKE will continue to be produced at Nissan's award-winning manufacturing plant in Sunderland, U.K. The first customer deliveries will take place at the end of November in European markets.
