Design: revolutionary changes in appearance
New Nissan Juke 2026 has lost his former “childish” features, becoming more aggressive and mature. The designers have completely redesigned the front end: it is now dominated by a massive radiator grille in the style V-motion, which visually expands the car. The headlights have become thinner and have LED optics with adaptive light in top trim levels, and the bumper acquired pronounced air intakes and chrome inserts.
The profile catches your eye unique 19-inch wheels with asymmetrical pattern (optional for version Tekna), which were not previously offered on any model Nissan. The rear has new lights with a 3D effect and an integrated spoiler that improves aerodynamics. The dimensions of the crossover have remained virtually unchanged (length - 4210 mm, width - 1795 mm), but due to the new proportions the car looks more dynamic.
- 🔥 Front optics: LED headlights with function
Auto High Beam(automatic high beam switching) - 🎨 Color solutions: 10 body color options, including exclusive Pearl Black with mother-of-pearl shimmer
- 🚗 Wheels: from 16 to 19 inches, with a choice of designs (5 options)
- 💨 Aerodynamics: Cx coefficient reduced to 0.32 (versus 0.34 for the previous model)
⚠️ Attention: Standard Visia halogen headlights are installed, which are significantly inferior to LED optics in brightness. When choosing this version, we recommend that you immediately consider the option LED Pack (+45 000 ₽).
Interior: technology and ergonomics
Salon new Juke has undergone no less significant changes. The center of the dashboard is now occupied 8" touch display with support Apple CarPlay And Android Auto (wireless in versions Acenta and above). Below it are physical climate control buttons - a solution that will be appreciated by those who do not like to control the air conditioner through the screen.
Finishing materials have become of higher quality: in top trim levels, soft plastics with stitching are used, and the seats are covered with a combined fabric Alcantara + artificial leather. The trunk volume remains the same - 422 liters, but now there is a two-level shelf for small items. Rear passengers will enjoy 2 cm more legroom thanks to the optimized shape of the front seats.
| Equipment | Multimedia | Seats | Climate control | Additionally |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visia | 7" screen, CarPlay/Android Auto (wired) | Fabric | Manual air conditioner | — |

Technical characteristics: engines and transmissions
Under the hood of the new Juke For 2026, two gasoline engines are available, both turbocharged:
- 1.0 DIG-T (117 hp) - three-cylinder engine with direct injection, developed jointly with Renault. It is equipped with a system
Stop&Startand complies with the standard Euro 6d. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 5.6 l/100 km. - 1.6 DIG-T (163 hp) — a four-cylinder unit with variable valve timing. This engine is only offered in conjunction with Xtronic CVT and all-wheel drive ALL-MODE 4x4-i.
Basic version with motor 1.0 DIG-T equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission or 7-band robot (optional). CVT Xtronic simulates 7 virtual gears and has a mode Sport with sharper shifts. Four-wheel drive ALL-MODE automatically distributes torque between axles (up to 50% to the rear) and has modes Snow, Off-Road And Lock for off-road use.
- ⚡ Acceleration 0-100 km/h: 10.4 s (1.0 DIG-T) vs 8.8 s (1.6 DIG-T)
- 🛢️ Fuel consumption: from 5.2 l (1.0 manual transmission) to 6.5 l (1.6 AWD)
- 🔧 Service: oil change interval - 15,000 km or 1 year
⚠️ Attention: Engine 1.0 DIG-T sensitive to fuel quality. When refueling with gasoline with an octane rating lowerAI-95detonations and loss of power are possible. In regions with poor fuel quality, we recommend using additives or switching toAI-98.
Details about the Xtronic CVT
This variator is equipped with a system Adaptive Shift Control, which analyzes driving style and adjusts the characteristics of gear ratios. For example, during aggressive acceleration, the electronics imitate the operation of a classic automatic transmission with clear shifts. The service life of the variator with proper maintenance (oil change every 60,000 km) is 200,000+ km.
Safety: driver assistance systems
New Juke received the maximum 5 stars in crash tests Euro NCAP (2023) thanks to an extensive list of active and passive safety systems. The basic package already includes:
- 🛡️ 6 airbags (including driver's knee)
- 🚦 ESP with function
Trailer Stability Assist(stabilization when towing) - 👁️ Rear view camera with dynamic marking lines
- 🚗 System Intelligent Emergency Braking (automatic braking when pedestrians are detected)
In versions N-Connecta And Tekna added:
- 🔄 Adaptive cruise control ProPILOT with lane keeping function
- 🚧 Traffic sign recognition (speed limits, overtaking bans)
- 💡 Automatic high beam High Beam Assist
- 🅿️ System Intelligent Park Assist (automatic parking)
It is especially worth noting the system ProPILOT, which at speeds of up to 140 km/h is capable of independently keeping the car in the lane, braking and accelerating in traffic jams. However, unlike Tesla Autopilot, it does not know how to automatically change lanes.
When activated ProPILOT Be sure to keep your hands on the steering wheel - the system turns off after 15 seconds without confirming contact. To avoid false alarms, adjust the position of the steering wheel so that the sensors recognize your grip.

☑️ What to check when buying a new Juke
Comparison with competitors: who is better?
In the compact crossover segment, Nissan Juke there are several serious rivals. Let's compare it with its main competitors in key parameters:
| Parameter | Nissan Juke 1.6 AWD | Hyundai Kona 1.6 T-GDI | Kia Stonic 1.4 T-GDI | Toyota Yaris Cross 1.5 Hybrid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power, hp | 163 | 198 | 140 | 116 |
| Consumption, l/100 km | 6,5 | 7,2 | 6,1 | 4,1 |
| Trunk volume, l | 422 | 374 | 351 | 390 |
| Price, ₽ | 2 749 000 | 2 899 000 | 2 599 000 | 2 999 000 |
Pros Juke:
- 🚀 The most dynamic in the class (acceleration to 100 km/h in 8.8 s)
- 💰 Optimal price/power ratio
- 🎯 Unique design (not to be confused with other crossovers)
Cons:
- ⛽ High fuel consumption in the city (up to 9.5 l/100 km for 1.6 DIG-T)
- 🪑 Hard rear seats on long trips
- 🔧 Expensive variator maintenance (oil change - 12,000 ₽)
If efficiency is important to you, pay attention to Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid - it is cheaper to operate, but loses in dynamics. Suitable for lovers of powerful engines Hyundai Kona 1.6 T-GDI, although it is more expensive. Kia Stonic wins in price, but is inferior in equipment.
The 2026 Nissan Juke is the best choice for those who value individual design and sporty character, but are willing to put up with increased fuel consumption.
Owner reviews: real operating experience
We analyzed reviews from owners of the new Juke on the forums Drive2 And Drom.ru (data for May-June 2026). Here are the key observations:
Pros according to reviews:
- 👍 Controllability: “The steering wheel is informative, there is almost no roll in corners - like a hatchback, not a crossover” (Alexey, Moscow)
- 👍 Salon: "The materials are pleasant to the touch, even in the basic version. The noise is better than Kona" (Elena, St. Petersburg)
- 👍 Patency: "In winter, I drove with all-wheel drive where Duster "slipped" (Igor, Ekaterinburg)
Frequent complaints:
- 👎 Suspension: “You can hear knocking noises on bumps - apparently the shock absorbers are too hard” (Dmitry, Novosibirsk)
- 👎 Noise 1.0 DIG-T: “At idle, vibrations are transmitted to the steering wheel, like a diesel engine” (Olga, Kazan)
- 👎 Option price: “I had to pay an extra 300 thousand for all-wheel drive and a leather interior - too expensive” (Anton, Krasnodar)
Interesting fact: 68% of owners in the survey noted that they chose Juke precisely because of the unusual design, and not technical characteristics. At the same time, 45% complained about high fuel consumption in the urban cycle (up to 11 l/100 km during active driving).
To reduce fuel consumption by 1.0 DIG-T, use the Eco and refuel at trusted gas stations (for example, Gazpromneft or Rosneft). This will help avoid detonations and save up to 1 liter per 100 km.
