Distinctive to look at and relaxing to drive, the Nissan Juke brings a sense of calm to everyday drives with the whole family. Its robust shape makes it perfect for driving on long journeys and rural roads, while the advanced technology brings comfort to the commute.
Exterior
Totally inventive, the Nissan Juke has a unique exterior that’s defined by a muscular form and stylised detailing. It has a formidable, chunky nose that’s made even more potent by the slick headlights, oversized spotlights and elongated, angular grille. It is condensed into a supermini size, meaning it’s easy to drive in the city as well as along winding country lanes. Thanks to the extra height compared to other superminis, you’ll have a clear view and will easily see your way into small parking spaces.
The Juke has excellent sporting credentials too, with LED daytime running lights and LED indicators integrated into the door mirrors included as standard. The 16-inch alloy wheels are also standard, and if you upgrade to the Acenta, they will be 17 inches in size, and 18-inch in the Nismo RS. Styling packs are available if you want to add bold colour accents to the exterior for a sportier finish.
Interior
Your conveniently high driving position is complemented by an elevated gear knob that’s almost in line with the central panel on the dashboard. It is exceptionally comfortable to drive and you can easily reach every control on the hexagonal-shaped panel. Curved edges bring character to the interior with a bubble-like central console that’s home to two cup holders, along with storage compartments for carrying essentials like sunglasses and loose change. A 354-litre boot will easily swallow the things you need to carry every day, like school bags, sports gear, pushchairs and shopping.
You can choose from six engines, with five petrol and one diesel units on offer. The most powerful of the group is the turbo charged petrol with a 187bhp power output – it will take you from 0-60mph in around eight seconds. There’s also a four-wheel drive with a similar level of performance, which is more agile to drive and responsive in bad weather.
Along with the standard ESP, ABS, EBD and brake assist programmes, the superior Tekna trim comes with Safety Shield Technologies to help prevent a collision. There’s an around-view monitor, blind spot warning, moving object detection and lane departure warning, which all let you know of any potential hazards nearby.
Technology
You can choose how deluxe you want your Juke and there are a number of technologies included as standard, like a CD player and AUX-in. Speed-sensitive power steering is included, which automatically adjusts the feel of the steering to be soft at lower speeds and firmer when you’re travelling fast. These adjustments make it easier to get out of tricky parking spaces, but also keep your path steady on the motorway.
In the Acenta, you get cruise control and Bluetooth phone integration so you can relax on long journeys and stay in touch with loved ones. The N-Connecta has a 5.8-inch touchscreen displaying the navigation and entertainment, including the digital radio. These extra gadgets are also included in the Tekna and Nismo RS.
