Nissan has given a mid-lifecycle refresh to its small SUV – the Juke – for 2024. Along with a heavily revised interior, the model gets a new variant called the N-Sport. Other prominent highlights include the revival of the first-gen model's iconic exterior yellow paint scheme. The mechanical components of the car, however, remain unchanged. According to Nissan, the car's enhancements are a result of user feedback. In India, we don’t get the Nissan Juke as of now. However, it is expected to come here by 2025. With deliveries scheduled to start in the upcoming months, production of the Nissan Juke Facelift has already begun at the UK's Sunderland Plant. The prices of the car will be announced soon. So, let's look at the key specifications of the model.
2024 Nissan Juke: What's New Inside?
As mentioned earlier, the car's interior has undergone significant modifications. A new 12.3-inch infotainment display, replacing the previous 8-inch panel, now sits atop the revised dashboard. This larger display is positioned closer to the driver for improved access to controls. Moreover, it comes as a standard feature and can be paired with a brand-new customisable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The upgraded system also incorporates enhanced voice recognition technology and supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Other features of the Nissan model include a larger glovebox, a wireless charging pad, a redesigned centre armrest, an electric handbrake, and USB-A and USB-C outlets for every passenger. These enhancements contribute to a more convenient and enjoyable driving experience.
2024 Nissan Juke: Exterior and New Variant Details
Aside from the striking yellow paint scheme, the car's exterior is virtually unaltered. However, the Juke now introduces a new top-of-the-line N-Sport trim, which complements the new paintwork with black-coloured painted parts such as the roof, pillars, grille, wheels, wheel arches, and mirrors. Inside, the version features a Juke insignia on the seats, matching recycled Alcantara inserts, and yellow seaming.
2024 Nissan Juke: Engine
The Nissan Juke hasn’t changed mechanically, which means the same two powertrain options are still offered. The first is a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which delivers 113bhp and up to 200Nm. It gets a 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch as transmission options. Then, there’s a more potent hybrid version featuring a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine with 92bhp and a 47bhp electric motor. In addition to a 1.2kWh water-cooled battery, this version features a multi-mode automatic gearbox, which propels the front axle.
As mentioned, the Nissan Juke will likely enter India by next year. Currently, the automaker offers only one product in our market—the Nissan Magnite SUV. Last year, the Magnite SUV received a 5-speed AMT transmission with its NA engine.
