The changes are extensive including; a new design at the front and rear with greater emphasis on both premium refinement and sporty design cues, a new downsized DIG-T 115 turbocharged engine offering greater performance, economy and lower emissions, a revised DIG-T 190 engine, a personalisation programme, advanced equipment including a new audio system, the latest generation NissanConnect driver-vehicle interface, Nissan Safety Shield, Nissan's Dynamic Control system, plus a new open-air panoramic glass roof.
The new colour palette now extends to ten colours and includes three new shades: Sunlight Yellow metallic, Ink Blue metallic and solid Red.
Despite its modest size, the 1.2 DIG-T 115 turbocharged engine packs a real punch, offering sharper acceleration and greater torque (190Nm) for added flexibility than the outgoing 1.6-litre naturally aspirated unit.
Now with six gears, the Juke's new engine's lower weight, standard automatic Stop/Start feature and more fuel-efficient operation translates to cleaner and more economical performance. The 1.2 DIG-T 115 engine emits 129g/km of CO2 and has a fuel consumption figure of 51.4mpg (combined cycle).
As well as a six-speed manual transmission, new Juke DIG-T 190 is also available with a new X-Tronic transmission gearbox mated to an advance four-wheel-drive system.
A revised version of the CVT transmission offered in the original Juke, the new XTronic gearbox delivers a smooth and natural driving experience. The new transmission now offers class leading gear ratio spread, with 17% more coverage than the old unit. This is effectively like adding more gears to a conventional transmission and improves acceleration at low speed while increasing refinement and economy at cruising speeds. Efficiency has also been improved by reducing internal friction by 40%. The result is a gearbox that offers the best of both worlds, with crisp performance under high acceleration and smooth delivery when the pace slows.
