Do you think the new Juke looks better than the original? Let us know by voting in our poll (2:50)!

Much better

[@alexeva3657]

I live in Russia, and I have a 2018 Juke - I love it, so beautiful and comfortable car, but in Russia you cannot buy a new one, they stop to import them because of the high price. But I hope to buy a new one in the USA, when move, if there are new models. I am in love with Juke. It is the best choice for this money for a person without children!

[@littlefarmtosee4709]

1st gen looks more aggressive and unique

[@ishmamrahman877]

You have bad taste

[@Niclord7]

I have 2nd and also like the design more then this new one. I also like the lights on the hood and they changed it. Yea, the car was a "you like it a lot or not at all" design. It looks that they made the design now a bit less extreme. If I would change then the Toyota C‑HR HYBRIDE would be a good option.

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

The old juke will always be a one of a kind design trying to reface it will not overshadow the fact that the old one has a character that can’t be copied twice 😂

[@boiiii9042]

It looks like this emoji 😂 but an exaggerated one.

[@sanbrwn]

totally agree

[@EmilyBenson1998]

Of course you’ve seen this video 😂

[@sandrapaulini1733]

Love the Juke, no match in design... I've owned a 2012, and now l own the 2015 Nismo RS... Juke has been discontinued in North America, so l am planning to keep my Nismo for a very long time!

[@trajanpb]

Just bought a 2017 SV black/pearl. Love it, installed Wildpeak AT trail larger tires. Now I’m a crosstrek killer! That engine/turbo is so sweet.

[@alexis9403]

I have a 2013 juke and love it enough to do major upgrades on it to make it more custom to me. I dont see getting a newer car in a long time and this one already have 107,000 miles on it. And i feel like the raised lights on the front make it so cute

[@ADDICTIONJS]

Absolutely love the old uncommon one! Just can't stop looking at it. The new one nissan has played safe with it.

[@firecreepergaming]

Front is better looking but the rear is like a micra that is on stilts

[@ivanpodrez3403]

If you ask me the previous model was so unusual that most people actually hated its looks. However I loved it, and the new one just doesn't do it for me. I believe in 20 years or so the original Juke will become a classic but this new version won't. I have to say that the interior is much nicer on the new version though.

[@GamesStraight]

old version its better the new one looks like a range rover or land rover

[@LeonTrotsky6782]

Love my 2014 Juke. So many silly instruments & controls that baffle me. I like simple motoring. The elevated position appeals to me & really suits my driving. It’s been reliable. So, I have never regretted my decision to buy one.

[@terris.3503]

We own both a 2011 a and a 2015 Juke and love the idea of the return. I liked the quirky look of the old, it made it different, but the extra leg room in the backseat will be good. We first got into it because it was higher off the ground and easier for me with back issues, I'll miss that in the new one.

[@matthewsan6197]

I own a Juke and love it. Yes it had some shortcomings, however, particularly the interior, it is definitely a fun car to drive plus lots of distinctive personality. I like the new Juke mostly for it's updated an more refined interior. The old Juke has a turbo so much more power. I love that. Tough call so can I buy a old Juke with the new interior and a duel clutch transmission?

[@NextGenGamer1]

New Juke has the turbo and it is picking up speed much better than the old one. It's quite punchy and you have power in every gear so no need for downshifting. I bought one for my aunt. You would never guess it's a 1.0 3 cylinder. Also, I would recommend the manual. Much better power control and no turbo lag. The auto transmission felt like it wanted to even stall at some occasions while moving really slowly to park or on a hill.

[@874823794]

@@NextGenGamer1 The drive is terrible though. I bought one after watching the JUkE review videos and the longer I have the car, the more I regret it. Today i was driving along when crash sensor went off - auto brakes applied, warning alerts were blaring but there was nothing in front of me. In a 80km zone this was not fun!!!! And this always happens!!! Very jumpy bunny hoppy drive - for 40000 AUD youd think theyd at least have the driving experience right. Seems as though they put their budget in the aesthetics but even that isnt amazing

[@tazz-rx2nl]

My 2023 juke 1.0 114 tekhna is amazing, it's fully loaded, autonomous driving is brilliant, sound system is amazing and does everything you want a top spec car to do.

[@permikkelsen2059]

I would like to see the new Nissan Duke in a "Head To Head" with the new Renault Captur, they are build on the same platform.. A multipli test with all the new small SUV's would be great.. The new Peugeot 2008, Skoda kamiq, VW T-Cross, Renault Captur, Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel/Vauxhall Crossland X, Seat Arona, Mazda CX-3.

[@rachelwalski6592]

Juke!

[@StandingUpForBetter]

I am perfectly happy with my 2019 Toyota C-HR. With that said, this Juke looks so much better than the previous model and I love how it comes with a manual transmission. A manual is not even an option for the C-HR although you can use "manual" mode with its CVT which simulates 7 gears but it is not the same as a true manual. It's a shame they replaced the Juke with the Kicks here in the US because this Juke looks to be a much, much better vehicle than the Kicks. Great review!

[@mth469]

i prefer the original look. it was unique and original.

[@conceptcs]

I love the Juke. Use to be on the bandwagon who hate the dramatic styling. But it has really grown on me. Be different people!

[@TG-pd3ft]

It's fascinating - and scary - to see how he takes his eyes off the road for soooo long while fiddling with all that 'safety' tech.

[@sideparting6845]

Same for all modern cars where they foolishly believe that you want to spend hours swiping through menus of text instead of actually driving. Removal of tactile controls and loads of touchscreens everywhere, so dangerous

[@jerryconda]

Honestly, I prefer the older model. The boldness is what initially sets it apart. They now look similar to many other vehicles. The new look is growing on me though. Not thinking about the engine size at all.

[@jaybarr8098]

The old Juke looks better to me.

[@c70honda40]

We have a 11 plate acenta 1.6 petrol in red had it 7 years been a great car just nearing 100 thousand miles cost us wear and tear only only thing that let's it down is the engine is very high revs on motorway feels like it needs a sixth gear .thinking of changing it in 2020 fancy a sportage or qashqai kids have outgrown juke lol

[@monthonsriyoscharti2714]

Only one small SUV with "around view monitor" 👍

[@christinemck7033]

I like the juke because it is high above from the road

[@mygigi43]

I love both the old and new version of the Nissan Juke. If I had to choose I’d definitely buy the new version.

[@EddieStout]

I've been driving Juke now for 3½ years (Juke 1.6 DiG-T Tekna 4x4 CVT). Although the 2020 model looks the business it has, in my opinion, been seriously downgraded with a 3 cylinder 1000 cc engine, no 4wd and taking around 10 seconds to reach 60 mph. Having said that I will be visiting my local dealer for a test drive.

[@fiasco348]

I can't believe they'd wreck a good design by not using the 1.6L they had.

[@eboafari8431]

Yup, the old design looks better

I like this car. It's decently practical with decent rear space and a good boot. Well priced and good equipment on higher trims. Great seats. Performance is fine and handling good. Cabin quality is very good and much better than most of its rivals. It's a much better car than the VW T-cross (especially cabin quality).

[@spencerbaldwin8589]

I'm on my second first generation Juke a Tekna Bose 1.5dci model purchased last March and to be honest I think Nissan has got it just about right with this new model. It still looks like a Juke but more grown up and higher quality trim inside. I hope that Nissan bring in a self charging hybrid version and oh please a Nismo RS, but I'm not holding my breath! I still love the quirky styling of the original Juke even though it's a 10 year old design it still looks a modern design. Well done Nissan and great to be able to purchase a UK produced vehicle... VW T-Cross? Nah, it will be a new Juke.

[@mrtellitlikeitis7830]

I have a new Qashqai 2019 Tekma Plus. The new Juke bares all the hallmarks of the Qashqai. It is now definitely worthy of being the little Sister to the Qashqai . The previous Juke was so hideous! The other was a proper Ladies SUV. The new one would definitely suit any man! Well Done Nissan! Not sure about the 1.0L engine? My Qashqai is 1.7 Diesel 4x4. Acceleration is not great on it from pull off! But hey, it is a nice motor!

[@spursman3998]

Great review, many thanks.

[@juaconiepel]

Its so sad that there is no fast version like the 1.6 190hp turbo from the old gen

[@crazyone1067]

If you're doing reviews... I definitely will be subbing!

[@nickyfoulkes8476]

For top spec at nearly £24,000 that hard scratch plastic on the door tops is awful. I also noticed the gloss black plastic on the backs of the front head rests. My dog would scratch them in the blink of an eye. For overall cabin quality I think it is well over priced. A fair comparison would be against the new Peugeot 2008 & Renault Capture.

[@mikecline2499]

i liked the old juke grill and lights better . how about comparing to a jeep compass?

[@oliverstemp9132]

Since the Juke is this good, the next Qashqai is going to be amazing, I'm thinking the interior will get a huge upgrade

Even though I'm a big fan of German cars, I must say, I do consider purchasing the new juke. Looks refined and the CO2 is lower than the previous models, besides the interior is awesome. The price is affordable considering how expensive are Audi 3 or bmw1 or even Opel Adam

[@kenh9681]

I hated the side view and front view of the lights on the old juke. The way they were sit up to high on the fenders. They fixed the thing I didn't like and made them more flush, but the main look I liked about the old juke was the rear end and they changed it also and messed it up..I guess I'm never satisfied for they corrected what I didn't like but messed up the thing I liked most. Nissan Maxima did the same thing years ago with changes to headlights and rear lights.
