The New Nissan Juke is Coming!

New Nissan Juke set for 2017 arrival with greener engines, a hybrid version, upgraded technology and an all-new platform.

The Nissan Juke really popularized the supermini-SUV class, paving the way for a whole wave of competing models like the Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur and more recently the Audi Q2. Now Nissan is set to unveil the second-generation of the Juke, improving upon the current model so it can really compete against its rivals. The new Juke will be more refined, more efficient, and will improve in some other crucial areas such as cabin quality.

Well-placed sources within Nissan point out that the car still sells over 100,000 examples a year globally. Nissan’s chief creative officer Shiro Nakamura has revealed the next generation will remain “edgy and less mainstream”, but acknowledged that it would still be recognizable as a Juke. That means the styling will retain key Juke cues, such as the high-mounted headlights and distinct wheelarch blisters. But it will also incorporate Nissan’s new ‘face’.

With the new redesigned Juke there’ll be a slightly longer wheelbase, as Nissan aims to address one of the main criticisms of the current car: rear legroom. Plus there’ll be a slightly longer wheelbase, as Nissan aims to address one of the main criticisms of the current car: rear legroom. The move to the new chassis will open the Juke up to a new range of engines, including 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo gas engine. A 1.5-litre diesel will continue to be offered, alongside a 1.6-litre turbocharged gas engine that’s likely to be the range-topper, with an output of around 190bhp.

Nissan sources have also hinted that the next Juke could also get a hybrid variant, using a range-extender powertrain. When asked if the next Juke would feature some form of electrification, Nakamura told us: “It is very tough to meet our emissions requirements without hybrid. It is almost mandatory.”

The Juke is likely to not show up for awhile, though; we could see a concept within the next six months, ahead of a production car debut in autumn and sales starting before the end of 2017.
