Next-gen Nissan Juke
The Nissan Juke was unveiled at the 2010
Geneva Motor Show and introduced in a refreshed avatar at the 2014 Geneva Motor
Show. Nissan has confirmed that its popular sub-compact crossover will extend
its life further with a second generation model arriving later this decade.
Here’s a speculative rendering of the
vehicle in question from Italian website OmniAuto. The design of the CMF-B
platform-based Nissan Juke in the rendering is derived from the Nissan Gripz
Concept. Paul Willcox, Managing Director at Nissan Motor GB, was cited
suggesting an evolutionary redesign in a report months before the Gripz concept
debuted last year.
He said that the company has received customer feedback that
the Juke’s design still looks fresh and that there’s no need for a major
styling update. Perhaps the next-gen Juke will be about introducing more
efficient engines, making the vehicle more refined, and bettering the interior,
Mr. Willcox said.
In September last year, Nissan suggested
that the second generation Nissan Juke will be the first CMF-B platform-based
model saying that it “is the first model to be confirmed for the Renault-Nissan
Alliance CMF-B architecture.”
