Juke, the most connected Nissan ever arrives in the showrooms

After the preview in Milan last September and the reveal to the press in mid-October, now is the most important moment: the new Nissan Juke is coming, just in these days, to the dealers.

At the launch in 2010, just like the older sister Qashqai, Juke opened the way to a segment that today, after nine years, counts 24 competitors. And now, nine years later, it comes in an updated version that makes technology and space its strengths. Developed in Europe and produced in Sunderland with an investment of 100 million pounds, the Juke is on sale starting at 19,620 euros. From the past he takes again the inspiration of the forms that over the years has allowed him not to go unnoticed among the compact segment B suvs. Unlike before, however, he is more athletic and muscular even if the real strength is the habitability. The space for the knees is increased by 5.8 cm, the rear space for the head is greater than 1.1 cm and the luggage capacity reaches 422 liters, + 20% compared to the previous generation. This is also thanks to larger dimensions than in the past: the length of 4,210 mm, the height of 1,595 mm and the width of 1,800 mm guarantee in fact a greater internal space, despite the car being now lighter than 23 kg, to the advantage agility. New levels of customization thanks to the new N-Design version that adds to the Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta and Tekna versions. At the front the car sports a front that highlights the V-Motion Grille. The interiors have been completely rethought: the environment is premium thanks to the new soft-touch materials for the dashboard, for the door inserts and the knee support.

At the moment there is only one choice for the engines, but the only possibility on Juke will not remain for a long time: it is the 1.0l petrol engine, turbocharged DIG-T three-cylinder, 117 bhp. In combination with a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with steering wheel controls. Auto designed for a young and dynamic public, the new Juke is a concentrate of technology. As for driving assistance, then, as on 'older sisters', the ProPILOT is provided, which assists the driver during acceleration, steering and braking. With the new NissanConnect infotainment system the customer can use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to replicate their smartphone applications on the new 8-inch Touchscreen. You can also access TomTom Maps & Live Traffic or enable integrated WiFi to connect laptops or tablets. The NissanConnect Services application allows customers to control various features of the car even through their smartphone, while compatibility with Google Assistant allows control of some functions quietly from one's home.

Driver and passengers will also have the Bose Personal Plus audio system for a 360 ° immersive sound experience. An exclusive and limited version makes its debut: the Premiere Edition, available in Italy in 30 units overall.
