Inovev forecasts 120,000 new Nissan Jukes per year
- After nine-years life (a very long time for an automobile), the first-generation Nissan Juke (B-segment SUV) will finally be replaced by a brand new generation that nevertheless retains the broad lines of the original model.
- The new Nissan Juke is however, larger than the previous one: 7cm (4.21m) longer, 3cm (1.80m)wider and 3cm (1.60m) higher. The car’s interior benefits from these increased dimensions, as does the boot, with 20% increased capacity.
- The new Juke is still 2cm shorter than the new Renault Captur and 9cm shorter than the new 2008 Peugeot, but 10cm longer than the Volkswagen T-Cross and 7cm longer than the Seat Arona.
- The new Juke is only available in a petrol version: a three-cylinder 1.0l engine developing 117 hp which is already used for the Renault Twingo, Clio, Captur and Nissan Micra. The manufacturer has eliminated diesel on this model (on a B-segment model it is not necessary) but a Plug-In hybrid engine will be available next year, as on the new Renault Captur which is in the same category.
- The new Nissan Juke will attempt (despite increased competition) to boost sales of the Nissan brand, which is experiencing significantly reduced sales in many markets, particularly due to the late replacement of this iconic model.
- According to our information, the Juke will continue to be manufactured at the British site in Sunderland, despite Britain's exit from the European Union. Inovev expects 120,000 units per year of the new Juke.
