Nissan Juke 2024: Prices, specs and release date

• New Nissan Juke facelifted for 2024
• Overhauled interior promises better quality and improved infotainment
• Yellow paint option returns to the range
• Now in production with deliveries starting in the spring

The new Nissan Juke is a refreshed version of the firm’s best-selling small SUV with a series of useful updates to take on its similarly-facelifted arch-rival, the new Ford Puma.

The new Nissan Juke has tweaked exterior styling, along with much bigger changes inside, with a new dashboard and infotainment tech.

The new Nissan Juke also sees the reintroduction of a popular bright yellow paint option.

Alongside the Ford Puma, there are umpteen other rivals for the new Nissan Juke, including the Renault Captur, the impressive Volkswagen T-Cross and the popular Peugeot 2008.

2024 Nissan Juke prices and release date

The new Nissan Juke is already in production at the firm’s Sunderland plant. It is expected to be released to customers in spring 2024.

New Nissan Juke prices won’t stray too far from the current model, which starts from around £21,000. Expect a similar range of trims, including Visia, Acenta, N-Connect and Tekna – and Nissan is also introducing an additional new grade called N-Sport.

2024 Nissan Juke styling, interior and technology

The new Nissan Juke’s styling is similar to the current model. A key new option is the reintroduction of a bright yellow paint option, which was a popular choice on the first-generation Nissan Juke. This colour is slightly paler than the original, but still very distinctive.

The new Nissan Juke’s bright yellow paint option can be further set off by a new trim choice called N-Sport. When combined with yellow paint, it brings a black roof,  black pillars, black wheels, plus black door mirrors, wheel arch inserts and grille.

Other fresh new Nissan Juke paint options include Pearl White, which has more metallic flakes for an enhanced pearlescent effect. Pearl Black boasts a revised formula with more carbon black pigment while the metallic flake is replaced by glass flake, giving it more ‘sparkle’.

The new Nissan Juke has revised wheel options across all three top grades, while hybrid versions now offer a low-resistance 17-inch wheel option for maximum fuel efficiency.

Inside, the new Nissan Juke has an extensively revised dashboard. Both centre console and instrument panel are redesigned. Many grades have a higher-quality finish thanks to the use of smooth, premium, leather-like material.

The new Nissan Juke has a much larger central infotainment display, which is now 12.8-inches corner-to-corner. It’s also now angled towards the driver by eight degrees, so it’s easier to reach – and gives the driver more of a ‘cockpit’ feel.

The new Nissan Juke’s infotainment home screen is designed to be more intuitive and now allows owners to set ‘widgets’ for favourite functions. It has natural language voice recognition – which understands more phrases and can ignore hesitations and pauses – plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

All new Nissan Juke models from N-Connecta and above have wireless smartphone charging. There are now dual USB-A and USB-C sockets in the front, plus they are available in the rear as well.

An updated digital instrument cluster features in the new Nisan Juke. Higher-grade models (that’s N-Connecta and above) have a 12.3-inch display which is also configurable and can switch between two different layouts.

Elsewhere, new Nissan Juke N-Sport painted in yellow have a boomerang-shaped yellow highlight which runs across the top of the instrument panel into the centre console. There are yellow recycled Alcantara seat inserts and yellow contrast stitching.

All new Nissan Juke have upgraded seats and N-Connecta models have a new fabric called Kira Melange. Tekna models have quilted-effect seat inserts.

Interestingly, the new Nissan Juke has a larger glovebox, plus a more supportive centre armrest which lifts to reveal a stowage cubby that now has a clip to hold three credit cards. All new Nissan Juke models also now come with an electronic handbrake.

2024 Nissan Juke engines, performance and fuel economy

The new Nissan Juke will continue to offer a choice of two petrol engines. The entry-level engine is the 1.0-litre three-cylinder DIG-T, which produces 114PS, and is available with a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

The new Nisan Juke DIG-T engine offers 0-62mph performance in around 10.5 seconds and averages around 48mpg. CO2 emissions start from 133g/km.

The new Nissan Juke is also available as the Nissan Juke Hybrid which is now available from the more affordable Acenta Premium spec. This combines a 94PS 1.6-litre petrol engine with a 49PS electric motor. Overall system power is 143PS, which is 25% better than the standard model. CO2 emissions start from 109g/km.

The new Nissan Juke Hybrid promises 20% better overall fuel economy, when compared with a standard DIG-T DCT version, which extends to more than 35% in town. Performance is similar, and the potential to run in EV mode at slower speeds helps improve refinement.

The new Nissan Juke has extra safety assist technology, including a standard Intelligent Driver Alertness system. Lane keep assist is now optional, and the standard reversing camera now has higher resolution so it works better in low light.
