The new Nissan Juke is super-connected, but now looks a little more normal
Many say that the Nissan Juke basically invented the crossover segment. Sure, [Nissan's Qashqai][2] is also credited with the meteoric rise of the SUV in popularity, although we're not sure how much credit there is to hand out. We will say this though - Nissan will get some credit for make the new Nissan Juke a little more normal than before.
Because if there's one thing that the [Juke][3] always did, it was divide opinion. It was a somewhat outrageous design, unmistakable when it passed on the road and that made it popular too.
The new model is bigger in all directions: Nissan says that there's more interior space (something that will be popular), while it's lighter with a stiffer chassis, which should make it drive better too.
But the Juke is still a fun car to look at, even if it's going to have to fight a little harder to turn heads alongside rivals like the [Kia Stonic][4], [VW T-Cross][5] or [Toyota C-HR][6]. There's no shortage of options in the compact crossover space.
Starting at £17,395 makes this car affordable, but a lot of the stuff that's fun to live with will appear at higher trims, which top out at £23,895 for the Tekna+. There's going to be Nissan's smart and easy to use [ProPilot][7] as an option, alongside detection of just about everything on the road, with safety features to go with them, such as blind spot detection and traffic sign recognition.

But as far as customer-facing tech goes there's a lot to get involved with. An 8-inch central display will support [Apple CarPlay][9] or [Android Auto][10], while there's also [Google Assistant integration][11], meaning you some remote voice control functions - like sending navigation to you car from your phone, or turning the lights on so you can find it in a dark car park. You'll also be able to use Nissan's app to check the oil or tyres remotely before you depart on a journey.
It will be available with a 117PS 3-cylinder petrol engine with the choice of manual or auto boxes. There's no sign of a hybrid option, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. The new Nissan Juke is available to register your interest now, with customer deliveries expected from November.
