Nissan Juke lease deals

Performance and features

The new Nissan Juke seeks to improve performance, practicality and engine variety when compared to its predecessor, starting with the 1.6-litre petrol naturally-aspirated unit which produces 115bhp and up to 180Nm of torque. When paired with the standard five-speed manual gearbox, the petrol unit takes 12.5 seconds to reach 62mph and claims 45.6mpg. Opting for the Xtronic CVT automatic transmission drops the 0-62mph time to 12.3 seconds. For drivers who prefer diesel, the 1.5-litre turbocharged dCi 110 unit offers 110bhp and 260Nm of torque, allowing it to reach 0-62mph in just 11.5 seconds.

Excluding the base model, drivers can also opt for a 1.2-litre or 1.6-litre 115bhp petrol unit, which produce 49mpg and 44 mpg respectively. The 1.2-litre model utilises a six-speed manual gearbox, while the 1.6-litre engine is paired with a variable automatic transmission. Topping the range is the 1.6-litre turbocharged diesel, which is available in the top two trim levels, offering 187bhp and available with four-wheel drive. There’s also Nissan’s ProPilot semi-autonomous driver assistance technology available as standard on Tekna cars and upwards, designed to combine cruise control and steering technologies for hands-free driving.

Interior technology

While the Juke’s exterior pays homage to its predecessor, its interior has been given a complete overhaul. Comfort is paramount, as every model comes with driver seat and steering wheel adjustment as standard. Alcanatara and leather complements colourful accents found across the centre console, while all models benefit from a highly-responsive touchscreen infotainment system. The entry-level Visia spec brings DAB radio, Bluetooth and cruise control, while stepping up to Acenta brings an eight-inch display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a rear-view camera.
