The old Juke was never a joke, the joke is you get a three cylinder 1.0 petrol engine on a suv and you don't have as much as one other engine. Yet emissions are still high and the MPG is nothing to write home about. The old Juke had much better engines. It is a car only fit for the town or city as you will always be changing gears on faster roads in order to keep up with the traffic.
Nissan deciding not to make the new Juke for sale in the US market really helped the styling, the styling is better overall but not having to fit huge bumpers helps a lot.
very nice car. the engine has quite enough power. 3 cylinder is absolutely powerfull and optium in terms of emission, performance and comfort. nice review MAREK!
No K9K 1.5 diesel! I had that in a Juke and a stage 5 emissions version, which I still have, in the Qashqai. The later engine in the Qashqai is far more refined and economical with 60mpg UK easily achieved. The low power three cylinder petrol does not tempt me at all, although like Marek I might be tempted by a 1.3 turbo with around 140hp and a proper ZF nine speed automatic. I do like the concept of the Juke with it being a funky sporty fun and efficient, relatively cheap small car. Only thing is, this power unit is not sporty or fun. It's just not a driver's car as currently offered.
I remember test driving an automatic Juke and excited about driving it because it had the same engine as my Nissan Micra and with a turbo! My Nissan micra is very fast and accelerated well. Well when I drove the Juke it had horrible turbo lag and it was very sluggish. I was really disappointed that the Juke was slower and less responsive than my Micra.
Talking to a nissan dealer friend and chatting about the juke,he told me the general view why juke is only available 1ltr this time is as car has grown in boot space and interior and if a 1.2ltr was available it would eat into qashqai sales
Mick Daly hmm I don‘t think so. Why Renault offer the Captur with the 1.3 and Diesel?? I think the reason is Renault because they wan‘t as much sales for their cars and so they don‘t give Nissan the 1.3 for the Juke.
@@Nismo3 they might be owned by Renault but still have Thier own sales targets, you could say same for Peugeot/Opel,. Ford/Jag/Austin Martin, each car company have different strategies for sales
Agree. I really fancy the design, and was seriously looking to buy one, but the engine put me off. Comparing similar cars (new Renault Captur, Ford Ecosport, Seat Arona, Kia Stonic, etc) I ended up buying the Arona FR Plus 1.5TSi instead of the new Juke N-Design.
I think this is a very stylist improvement over the old design. A lot more grown up but it isn't in NA yet. And that engine is tiny. Thanks for the entertaining review Marek! (Come to think of it, I wonder what's going on with Nissan's full EV Ariya SUV?)
Unlike some European brands, the Japanese usually take their time from concept to production. And now as everything is upside down, it's hard to tell if they're going to need an electric SUV at all.
@@MarekDrives The sales of EVs going forward this yr will be a real test of how much people want to reduce their carbon output given fuel is 75 cents a litre here in Canada. Usually petrol is 1.30-1.40 here.
Good design but one thing i dont like the speaker in the chair near your head this is not good when u want to turn on loud the music and your ears explode. It is better if they put switch on n off
Good review. I get what you are saying. -I NEED POWER! :) I like those little info text popups with HP, milage, acc. et.c Couldn't you start putting them in your videos please?
@@MarekDrives No, I've meant that I like better the the polish version. Juke/Joke is little bit too easy target. I'm guessing that people in Nissan marketing don't speak english. Keep on keeping on.
One friend of mine had a Civic of 8th gen. but with entry level engine, I think it was basic 1.4 petrol. We all were sceptical, but his point was like so what if I almost am fastest in traffic. Yes it's not so comfortable, but even basic engines is really enough to keep with traffic.
Very slightly, but yes, on the day we filmed drive-by shots there was some snow. And on the day we filmed beauty shots there was everything from sun to hail.
@@nikosdiakos3547 To be clear, does it need to be a small SUV? Or are you ok with a normal B segment car as well? Car reviewers often don't like the small SUV class.
Apart from the improved interior (way better from the previous one) and the less polarizing but still distinctive looks this car has nothing else going for it. The Captur is a far better choice, not to mention that with the Juke's top trim you get a base A-Class (if you want people to notice you) or a Sportage(if you want space and better reliability).
This looks much more appealing than the Captur which looks so vanilla (bland in other words). Don't see why anyone would buy a Captur. Anything would be better than a Captur.
1 liter is the norm for quite some years now since downsizing became a thing. Also, this specific model is filled with accessories, probably the most expensive trim.
What technology ? 120hp from a TURBO 3 cylinder engine, automatic gearbox and a stupid&cheap tablet on dash?! 🤕🤕🤕 That same stupid tiny Ford Puma has 1.0 with 150hp and is a lot cheaper! 💥
Marek do you think that there is realistic possiblity to get a 1.3 Tce engine in the near future? Or do you think that because the didn't do it from the start the other engines will only be hybrids, mild hybrids and other socialist crap?... PS: The manual gearbox is not good. Too loose for my taste. I was expecting your comments on that also. Don't go soft on us brother. Not you! You are our last hope with so many kiss ass out there...

Hey Nissan, do a favour to yourself and add the 1.3T engine option!
Nissan deciding not to make the new Juke for sale in the US market really helped the styling, the styling is better overall but not having to fit huge bumpers helps a lot.
Looks more attractive than the previous one, but resembels Qashqai too much. I think overall asian car designers are nailing it right now.
Lovely car 🏴👍 just bought the connect model.

Awesome Review as always @Marek Drives

Think they will sell alot of these, great reviews Marek 😎

I 😍😍😍😍😍😍 the new look. I can see myself driving 1 of that juke
More engine options please.. 1 liter is a joke for the car this big

Did it have the terribly unreliable Jatco CVT transmission? Probably.
Huw Williams it’s had some sort of CVT. Made the turbo Juke súper under powered compared to my naturally aspirated 4 cylinder Micra.

Three cylinders engine, this means it is a joke, a bad one for customers ! Price is ridiculous for this kind of vehicle!

Thanks for review, is this the colour the fuji red?
Yes, it is
Thanks Marek, just bought mine today, hope to get it next week. Good review!

Noted!
Name of the polish version of this video is: Juke. Pug or Frog?
I like that better.
Nissan Joke or Puke wouldn't make sense in Polish, because people don't know what it means.
@@MarekDrives No, I've meant that I like better the the polish version. Juke/Joke is little bit too easy target. I'm guessing that people in Nissan marketing don't speak english. Keep on keeping on.
Very good review as always but in car shots are too dark almost like a ghost talking
Dark interior, sunlight outside. I'm working on it, but there is only so much I can do in terms of controlling the lighting conditions.
One friend of mine had a Civic of 8th gen. but with entry level engine, I think it was basic 1.4 petrol. We all were sceptical, but his point was like so what if I almost am fastest in traffic. Yes it's not so comfortable, but even basic engines is really enough to keep with traffic.
I don't mind this not being powerful, but it feels very "muted", held back.
I got 203kph downhill from a 1.4ivtec civic, good if you like driving hard without going to fast !
Pity a 1.2ltr with 130 hp would make it sell better
Nice looking, will be interesting to see what you think of the Nismo edition if they release one.
Fingers crossed!
Superminis out there which are more practical, economical and at a much lower price.
So is the Juke convertible a myth I'm finding pics on Pinterest but no where else
Myth.
Wait is it snowing in Poland?! Btw, how would you rate Nissasn's Driving Assitances?
Very slightly, but yes, on the day we filmed drive-by shots there was some snow. And on the day we filmed beauty shots there was everything from sun to hail.
Safety systems are OKish, but if you want good safety systems you buy a German car.
@@MarekDrives
Or Swedish.
I wonder if it'll make it back to the US.
Is that an empty space where the ignition was supposed to be on the steering wheel housing?
It's the same mold for many models.
Cheers mate 👍😎.
marek i would like your opinion please...2020 nissan juke or skoda kamiq...?
IMO Skoda is the better car, but it's also so boring I wouldn't want one.
@@MarekDrives in this segment which car for you is the best?
The best means different things to different people. The Captur ticks a lot of boxes, and I love the way it looks, but I'd probably buy a T-Cross.
@@nikosdiakos3547 To be clear, does it need to be a small SUV? Or are you ok with a normal B segment car as well? Car reviewers often don't like the small SUV class.
@@MarekDrives thanks and keep up the good work...
I’m sad that it won’t be in the US, at least yet.
Hasn't the US got the new Nissan Kicks? This is a more up to date chassis than the UK built Juke isn't it?
Great review but the music is terrible and too loud XD
Top car
Lol
But with some negotiation, you can get a Ford Focus ST for 31k (I know it's not a crossover) but it's an all round better vehicle.
Probably with some negotiations you can get this one much cheaper as well.
@@MarekDrives Perhaps if it had an engine that could get out of its own way.
You didn't tell us the mpg
Google it.
I am wondering that Dutch thing...
🦁2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣8️⃣ ueber alles!
Much more Juke than Puke.

Min 9:03 ... 31.000 E for a SMALL crossover with 998 cm3, 3 cylinder engine?!
WTF ?! 🤕🤕🤕
You pay technology
@@xeniosaias You pay brand.

At the moment it's hard to predict anything, but I don't think they'd design a car like this without a more powerful version.
@@MarekDrives ty keep up the good work!!
Dont prefer crossovers but this one have one big minus...Engine line up....Why Nissan?
Not bad but ill pass
Only the Fiat Multipla is more ugly 🤢
