Nissan Juke n-tec

Nissan has revealed a range-topping Juke n-tec model, which gets style and technology upgrades

The Nissan Juke now gets an upmarket n-tec trim level, mirroring the Qashqai n-tec model, which has become the best seller in the Qashqai range.

As well as styling tweaks, the new model is the first to get the latest version of Nissan Connect, featuring Google’s Send-To-Car technology, allowing users to plan a route before they leave their home or office and send it directly to the car. The system will also highlight points of interest and can also show local fuel prices and weather and flight information.

The 5.8-inch infotainment screen will also score the driver according to how economically they’re driving and displays the view from the rear view camera. Also on board is Bluetooth connectivity, climate control, plus automatic lights and wipers.

Outside are new 18-inch black and silver alloys, gloss black for the B-pillars between the front and rear doors and a similar covering for the door mirror caps.

N-tec trim will be available on all engine versions of the Juke, with prices expected to start at around £17,000.

The best thing they could have done would be to change the looks.....completely!

About time for a face-lift. And while Nissan is at it they could clean up its petrol and diesel units. Because that's one of the things stopping many from buying this otherwise attractive package.

Its not actually a facelift for the Juke - I think what they are saying is that the n-tec version will get some unique styling features over lesser models.

I love how it looks. Looking forward to purchasing one.

Enjoy that. Each to their own I guess. I just don't see any attraction in that. It's almost as bad as the Nissan Qube thing.

Experimental car....I don't like most Jap cars (past or present), to my eyes they are always full of "bad shapes" and this car is a perfect example of why I don't generally like them.

At the rate these are selling I can't see them changing the looks. Sooo popular.

More reliable than Eurojunk. Beauty is in the eye of and all that anyway.

Dont agree I'm afraid. To my eyes some of the best looking (and performing) cars have been Japanese - Honda NSX, Mazda RX8, Nissan Z cars, Toyota Supra to name a few. True,the Juke is certainly an aquired taste, but at least they're pushing boundries design wise. German cars to me are generic/boring in design and rather over rated generally. The French and certainly Italian makers often produce bold looking cars though.

Yet another outing for your pet epithet!

I'd rather the Qashqui than the Juke any day. Nissan PUKE. Not to mention the new Nissan Gizmo sorry......Nismo ..

I think you misunderstood, I'm saying they are selling well and very popular. Not whether you or I for that matter like them.

yes and I was clearly voicing my opinion.....

I like the Juke too. Like it or not, this Nissan has been a real success, and many others are scrambling to produce a rival product.
