Evolution of Nissan Juke design: photos of the first and second generations

First generation Nissan Juke (2010–2019) was a real breakthrough in the subcompact crossover segment. Its design was developed under the guidance Nissan design studio in London, and the key idea was to create a car that would stand out from its boring classmates. Headlights in the shape of “drop-shaped eyes”, a massive bumper with integrated foglights and a high-set hood line - all this made Juke looking like a sports car, and not like a conventional hatchback.

Below are photo of key exterior elements first generation:

  • 🔹 Front: aggressive trapezoidal radiator grille, narrow LED daytime running lights (in top versions).
  • 🔹 Side profile: short overhangs, high ground clearance (180 mm), hidden rear door handles (in some modifications).
  • 🔹 Rear: vertical lights, integrated spoiler, dual exhaust system (for versions with a turbo engine).

The second generation (2019–present) has retained the corporate style, but has become more smoothed out and “grown-up”. The designers removed some controversial elements (for example, round taillights), added modern LED technology and increased the dimensions of the body. Interesting fact: the second generation Juke was the first Nissan car to use the brand's new V-shaped grille, later used in other models of the brand.

Nissan Juke interior: interior photos and ergonomics

Salon Nissan Juke as extraordinary as the exterior. In the first generation, the designers went for an experiment: the center console was made in the form of a “motorcycle tank” with chrome inserts, and the air ducts had a round shape, reminiscent of jet engines. Upholstery materials ranged from fabric to leather with contrasting stitching, depending on the trim level.

In the second generation, the interior became more minimalistic, but retained sporty notes. Appeared virtual dashboard (optional), multimedia touch display with support Apple CarPlay And Android Auto, as well as improved sound insulation. Below - photos of key areas of the cabin:

  • 🚗 Dashboard: analogue or digital instruments (depending on version), backlight with variable color.
  • 🎛️ Center console: touch climate control buttons, wireless charging for a smartphone (in top versions).
  • 🪑 Seats: sports seats with lateral support, electric adjustment (optional).

One of the main disadvantages of the first generation is cramped back row. Due to the short wheelbase (2530 mm), passengers taller than 180 cm were uncomfortable. In the second generation, the base was increased to 2636 mm, which had a positive effect on legroom. However Juke still remains a compact crossover, and for a family with children it is better to consider Nissan Qashqai.

💡

When inspecting a used first-generation Nissan Juke, pay attention to the condition of the plastic of the center console - it often creaks and cracks over time.

Technical characteristics and engines

Nissan Juke It was offered with various power units, but gasoline turbo engines became the most popular. In the first generation, the basic one was atmospheric 1.6 HR16DE (117 hp), and the top one is turbocharged 1.6 DIG-T (190 hp in version Nismo). The second generation received a new turbo engine 1.0 DIG-T (117 hp) and a hybrid installation (in European versions).

Gearboxes:

  • ⚙️ 5-speed manual transmission (basic for atmospheric versions).
  • ⚙️ 6-speed manual transmission (for turbo engines).
  • ⚙️ CVT Xtronic CVT (optional for all engines).

Feature Juke — all-wheel drive system ALL-MODE 4x4-i, which automatically distributes torque between the axles. In normal mode, the car is front-wheel drive, but when it slips, the rear axle engages. This solution made it possible to improve cross-country ability without significantly increasing fuel consumption.

Real fuel consumption of Nissan Juke 1.6 DIG-T (190 hp)

In the urban cycle, consumption is 10–12 l/100 km, on the highway – 6.5–7.5 l/100 km. The CVT increases appetite by 0.5–1 liters compared to a manual transmission.

Engine Power, hp Torque, Nm Acceleration 0–100 km/h, s Max. speed, km/h
1.6 HR16DE (atm.) 117 158 11.0 178
1.6 DIG-T (turbo) 190 250 7.8 215
1.0 DIG-T (turbo, 2nd generation) 117 200 10.4 180

Special editions and limited editions

Over the years of production Nissan Juke released several special versions that featured a unique design and improved performance. The most famous of them:

1. Nissan Juke Nismo (2013–2017)

Sports version with motor 1.6 DIG-T 200 hp (in the European version) or 215 hp. (in Japanese). Distinctive features:

3. Nissan Juke Black Edition (2021)

Limited edition with black exterior trim, tinted headlights and exclusive 19-inch wheels.

Photos of these versions are often found on the Internet, but original copies on the secondary market are very rare. If you come across Juke Nismo in good condition, this is a reason to carefully study its history, since such cars were often subjected to aggressive use.

💡

Nismo versions require more frequent maintenance due to harsh operating conditions. Check the condition of the turbine and suspension when purchasing a used one.

Problems and reliability: what to look for

Nissan Juke It is not one of the most reliable cars in its class, but with proper care it can last for many years. The main “diseases” of the model:

1. CVT Xtronic CVT

The most controversial part of the car. If the oil is not changed on time (every 60,000 km), jerking, slipping and overheating begin. Symptoms of malfunction:

  • ⚠️ Jerking during acceleration.

  • 🛠️ Timing chains (stretches up to 120,000 km).

☑️ What to check before buying a used Juke with a turbo engine

Done: 0 / 5

3. Suspension and steering

Due to the short wheelbase and rigid suspension settings Juke wears out quickly on bad roads. Most often they fail:

Parameter Nissan Juke Renault Captur Hyundai Kona Toyota CH-R
New price, rub. (2026) from 2,100,000 from 1,800,000 from 1,950,000 from 2,300,000
Trunk volume, l 422 377 374 377
Max. power, hp 117–190 90–150 120–177 116–140
Four-wheel drive Option No Option Option

Pros of Juke:

  • ✅ Unique design (like it or not, but memorable).

  • ✅ Good handling for a crossover.

Cons:

  • ❌ Cramped interior (especially the first generation).
