At the front, the upper lamps have been redesigned to adopt the Nissan's signature ‘boomerang' shape - as seen on 370Z, new Qashqai and new Murano - and now too incorporate bi-intensity LED daytime running lamps. The headlights are now available with Xenon bulbs for better visibility and new lens covers. The nose incorporates a new, more powerful V-shaped grille, while the lower elements have been toughened with new trim beneath the bumper.
A total of five engines are available for the new Juke, three remain as before - the 1.6 94PS, the 1.6 117 CVT and the recently introduced and highly acclaimed dCi 110 - with the addition of two brand new petrol options.
The Alliance-developed 1.2 DIG-T 115 petrol engine, which comes as an option to replace the outgoing 117PS 1.6-litre unit, is an advanced turbocharged direct injection engine delivering 115PS (85kW) and generating 190Nm of torque.
In keeping with the trend of downsizing engines, the existing 1.6 DIG-T 190 petrol unit has been further improved to deliver more low end torque below 2,000rpm. Producing 190PS (140kW), it is already Euro6 compliant with target emissions of 139g/km of CO2 for the 2WD versions. Among its new features are a higher combustion ratio (increased from 9.5 to 10.5:1), improved low friction technologies and cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation.
