2018 Nissan Juke
The Nissan Juke was originally
introduced in 2010 and given a facelift in 2014. Next, Nissan will introduce
the second generation Nissan Juke in 2017. According to a report from Auto
Express, the all-new Juke will be offered with a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol
engine among other options.
According to the report the next-gen
Nissan Juke will be offered with a variety of engines including a 1.0-litre
turbocharged three-cylinder petrol, ~190 bhp 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol and
a 1.5-litre diesel. A hybrid powertrain could also be offered, the one employed
on the Nissan Gripz Concept unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show (2015
IAA).
A set of renderings show the British
publication’s depiction of the next-gen Nissan Juke. The rendered Juke heavily
draws cues from the third-gen Nissan Murano, whereas the speculation at large
is that Nissan will use the Nissan Gripz Concept for the all-new model’s
design.
The report cites the company’s Senior
Vice President for Design and Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura saying the
exterior will be “edgy and less mainstream” but would still make the vehicle
immediately recognizable as a Juke. The wheelbase will be extended to improve
rear legroom.
The next-gen Nissan Juke will be the
first completely CMF-B platform-based vehicle. While the new report says that
its sales will commence before the end of 2017, an earlier report said that
production at the company’s plant in Sunderland, England will commence only in
2018.
