Niggle with my hybrid auto ...EV mode doesn't stay on for long. In colder weather and from start off the EV mode is unavailable and the petrol engine revs up noisy right up until approx 38 mph then hits a lower gear and the noise becomes reasonable. As most town roads are 30 mph limit you end up driving in a car that sounds like its is left in 2ng gear (high rev noisy). I took mine back to Nissan after a week of two to express my concerns and drove their test drive vehicle which was the same. So I guess its just the way they are. It seems though that I'm spending way more in petrol compared to my previous 2020 manual petrol. It feels like the over revving to charge the battery out weighs the minimal EV savings. Over revs =higher fuel consumption.
This always starts in electric mode and depending on battery can be used 80% of time in full electric. This is depending on how quickly you rev. If you rev steadily it should keep the rev range lower combined with the electric motors.👍
On 1:14 you are calling this an "entry level mild Hybrid". Is this a mild hybrid vehicle (typically runs a 48v battery which can only assist moving the vehicle from standing stall alongside the engine), or standard HEV similar to Toyota Prius? My research suggested this is a standard hybrid vehicle. Are you able to clarify please?
Rear glass panel is generally called a window. 😂. I've had mine since February and love it. Only fault I've found is it doeant like hills. Struggles a bit. Around town and motorways is brilliant.
😂 Thanks for watching! Are you able to cruise in full electric at motorways speeds for a long journey or is it intermittent? And what MPG are you seeing realistically?
@@ISITWORTHITUK yes can cruise on motorway in electric, it tends to so it automatically especially going down hill. Not sure of mpg I'll have to have a look and get back to you.
I've got mine since 10.2023 and those hills are a big struggle. Also on the highway with 140km/h and oncoming wind the battery is going low and it struggles with keeping the speed. That's the only downside for the car, i'm not sure if the other full hybrids cars are acting the same. The pluses are a lot: enough space on the back seats, have a good torque, for intercity roads is perfect when you want to overtake someone, and on the turns is really sporty car. My average is 6l/100km, around the town is between 3 and 4l/100km, on highways with 140km/h is between 6 and 7 depends on the wind. (keep in mind that I push it well on the twisties and my driving is mostly out of the town).
Thank you for the review. They seem to be a real nice car and one to think about for the future. As far as i know, they have the cvt auto gear box. Apparently, the cvt can be noisy, when it changes gear and a lot of folks don't seem to like this. is this true, are they very noisy when its changing gear ? I have never owned a car with a cvt auto gear box, but read that it can be noisy, so just wandered what other peoples experiences were with them ? Thanks.
Great question and happy to help. CVTs were generally built for efficiency and low cost. They are reliable but to reach peak power they have to rev high through the rev band to get any sort of performance from them. They sit calm generally at cruising speed but for around town the engine can feel over revved at times just from small commutes. With the Nissan juke hybrid they have managed to tune the hybrid to be more electric ready rather than have the motors work as a side add on. This means although it’s still a self charging hybrid that when you start the car will be in electric only mode up until the battery depletes which is then regenerated through braking and the engine it’s self. It’s always best to test yourself but having driven most CVTs this is a lot quieter due to the electric only use but will flare up when kick down is added.
@ISITWORTHITUK Thanks again, that explains it all very well as regards nissans.👍 Wonder if other cars like Toyota with cvt are the same ? Or is it just a nissan thing. I test drove a 2016 nissan qashqai a few weeks ago, it was the first time I drove a auto, did not drive it too far, but I thought i was in a rocket about to take off. 🤣
@@martinsmith1525 Toyota uses the synergy hybrid system where it’s a self charging again like the Nissan but more based towards the electric motors used as an add. The CVT in a Corolla Touring for example has a bigger 1.8 compared to the 1.6 petrol and thus create a bit more of a noise when revving heavy to motorway speeds. That’s not to say the Nissan is silent you will hear it roar out on slip roads but after the revs lower it cruises nicely. This is because there’s only 1 gear as such to pass the power around so the engine is forced to stay in higher revs for longer compared to others.
@ISITWORTHITUK Thank you very much for all your help, now i know exactly what all the noise is about. I think it's like everything else, you get use to it eventually. My next car will be a auto hybrid. Cheers. 👍
Hi, I am struggling to pick a car between Toyota Yaris Hybrid and Nissan Juke hybrid. Would be great if you can give an idea about this comparison (Overall idea).
I am not sure for what to go for, wanting to order 1 of the 3. My kia Ceed 1.5 tgdi is way to thirsty on my 60 miles workcommutes. My partner has a petrol juke, drives nice, just a tad noisy with roadnoise. The renault Clio hybrid is the most economical and fun and newly facelifted. Though it is small. the Arkana is gorgeous and spacious but the engine is rather slow on this heavier car. Than there is the Juke the inbetween of the 2, but tech wise it is more outdated. What do you recommend?
Thanks for watching! You are right the Jukes entertainment is a slight let down in that regards. Out of what you have told me I would look at either the New Clio hybrid tech and opt for the Arkana only if you prefer the bigger space and higher ride height. Unless you could opt for The Qashqai e-power due to the smoothness and interior/ entertainment . Iv'e not tested the new shape Clio or Arkana but would like to get it on the channel ASAP. My friend was in a similar position not so long ago. They were thinking the Arkana and opted for the Qashqai. Let us know how you get on? Hope that helped - Maybe Check out my first car video - VA VA VOOM 🙂 th-cam.com/video/AoLXsdYh6cU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=y3118n9HnWx7a6l-
I would absolutely agree that it doesn’t like hills or slopes for that matter. I had to plan what I was going to do when I got to a hill!! MPG - regularly got 55/58. Had to let ours go in the end, mainly due to the hill thing. The car just wouldn’t change up and the engine would scream. Lastly, Nissan missed a trick when they brought out the Hybrid. They should have updated the infotainment system. It’s dated and the resolution is shocking and the graphics don’t look sharp. Initially, with I took delivery, I gave it a solid 9.5/10. However, the lack of engine refinement, the dated infotainment system, the noise from the rear washer motor (it sounds like it’s inside the car with you) and the gear changing or lack of changing led that score to going down to a 6.
@@Adam-pt8ry The main CarPlay screen isn’t great. I traded the car for a VW ID3. The screen on the VW is much sharper. This could be due in part because in the VW, the CarPlay icons are smaller. Imagine looking at an image on your phone and then screenshotting it. When you zoom into that image, the resolution loses its sharpness. The CarPlay screen gives you the same feel. I just think that Nissan could have upgraded a little given that the car received such a massive change to the drivetrain (their sales blurb talks about technology used in F1).
I wouldn’t go that far. The MPG is great. I’ve seen 62 mpg on a couple of occasions. It’s just the non changing gearbox that was an issue for me. I was a very early adopter. One of our friends bought the same car. Their car and ours drive completely different. They love theirs. So, getting off the fence, I’ll sit straight back on the fence I’m afraid.
Just ordered my wife the Tekna model with all the body jewellery that goes with it.. should look amazing
Please could you mention your height and the room for driver height in reviews?
Just got my wife the latest toppest of the range Tekna Hybrid. She loves it.

Nissan very good car to drive
Hi, I am struggling to pick a car between Toyota Yaris Hybrid and Nissan Juke hybrid. Would be great if you can give an idea about this comparison (Overall idea).
Are you talking Yaris hybrid cross?
@@ISITWORTHITUK I would also be interested to know which car you would recommend: the Nissan Juke or the Toyota Yaris Cross.
What's the real mpg? What was the mpg during this test?
During the day with city/ motorway driving I was averaging around 52 mpg, which isn’t groundbreaking but this really does depend on how you drive.
I am not sure for what to go for, wanting to order 1 of the 3. My kia Ceed 1.5 tgdi is way to thirsty on my 60 miles workcommutes. My partner has a petrol juke, drives nice, just a tad noisy with roadnoise.
The renault Clio hybrid is the most economical and fun and newly facelifted. Though it is small. the Arkana is gorgeous and spacious but the engine is rather slow on this heavier car. Than there is the Juke the inbetween of the 2, but tech wise it is more outdated.

What country is this ?
United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Definitely worth it
Ford me it's a fine car for the city i think
Is it 2024 or 23??
2023
This review car is missing the false floor for the boot. I can see the little lugs.
The side mirrors on the 24 plate are awful.
The new facelift?
