Nissan unveils radical 2027 Nissan Juke EV
Thu, 16 Apr 2026
- Third-generation Juke revealed as a striking EV
- 386 mile electric range
- Will feature feature Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) tech
- Due in Spring 2027
Nissan has given us the first look at the new, all-electric Nissan Juke. The third generation of the popular small SUV, the new Juke continues the trend set by its forebears of having striking, radical looks.
Full details will be released later on, but we know that the Juke, although revealed at an event in Japan, will be built at Nissan's Sunderland plant in the UK.
Although it's an all-new car – built on Nissan's CMF-EV platform – it will sit alongside the current second-generation petrol and hybrid Nissan Juke, which Nissan thinks still has appeal to UK buyers.
The Juke will likely share its drive systems with the latest Nissan Leaf, which would mean a choice of two batteries – 52kWh or 75kWh. No firm details have been announced.
Rivals will include the latest small electric SUVs, from the Kia EV2 and the forthcoming new Volkswagen ID.Cross to the Skoda Epiq, the Renault 4 and more.
2027 Nissan Juke price release date
We can expect to see the new Nissan Juke on sale in around a year's time, and prices, together with UK specs, will be confirmed nearer to then.
Taking inspiration from the Hyper Punk concept car, the new model features a radical aerodynamic silhouette and a complex new LED lighting signature. While it retains the high-riding stance that made the original a hit, the EV design allows for shorter overhangs and a significantly more spacious interior.
Built on the same platform as Renault Scenic E-Tech), the 2027 Juke EV will come in two versions. A 52kWh battery offering a competitive range of approximately 270 miles and a flagship 75kWh pack capable of traveling up to 380 miles on a single charge.
Perhaps the most revolutionary feature is the standard integration of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. Nissan’s Energy Share system will allow Juke owners to use their car as a giant mobile battery, powering their homes during peak hours or selling electricity back to the National Grid when demand is high — a move Nissan claims could significantly lower the total cost of ownership.
Recognising that not all drivers are ready to go full electric, Nissan confirmed that an updated version of the current Juke Hybrid will remain on sale alongside the new EV for a limited transition period.
