Launched nearly a decade ago, the current version of the Nissan Juke is one of the oldest cars still on the market. In September all that will change, as the Japanese will unveil the second generation of one of the most easily recognizable cars in the world.
As the official launch date of the model approaches, Nissan decided to give us a glimpse of its all-European designed car, releasing a bunch of images of the still cloaked vehicle, and a limited amount of info.
Pictured as it is undergoing testing on the Millbrook track in the UK, the car shows the familiar coupe lines that debuted on its older brother, but reinterpreted to bring it closer to the current crossover design language.
Riding on 19-inch alloy wheels, the new Juke is heralded as the bearer of “even more character, exciting performances and a leading level of connectivity that responds to drivers’ evolving needs.” It will also likely be bigger than what came before it.
The main elements that set the original Juke apart from all other cars on the market when it was introduced, its oddly-shaped front and rear ends, will likely be modernized but otherwise maintained. That’s partially visible in the images of the camouflaged car released on Monday (August 19).
“Nissan is about to unleash an even bigger personality and exciting driving experience that will appeal to the growing number of drivers opting for the B-SUV segment,” said the carmaker.
The car’s connectivity is spearheaded by the inclusion of the ProPILOT suite of driver assistance technologies, making the Juke the third car in the Japanese lineup to use it.
There’s no word yet on powertrains, but given the fact it will use the new CMF-B platform developed together with French carmaker Renault, we should see all the familiar engines, including a possible plug-in hybrid variant and later on maybe even a full-electric version.
