The most divisive aspect of the 2017 Nissan Juke is the way it looks. Part of the production run of the first-generation car, the 2017 model, with its tall body and bulbous styling, certainly stands out from the crowd. Provided you like that, then you’ll probably like the rest of the car, as it’s reasonably good to drive, reasonably reliable and reasonably economical. It’s also fairly spacious, though boot space is a touch on the tight side. But if you like the styling and enjoy the high-set driving position, then that may not matter to you at all.

Strengths:

Quirky looks
Well equipped
Nismo RS is very quick

Weaknesses:

Troublesome CVT auto
Cramped in the back
Several rivals are more practical

Is the 2017 Nissan Juke better than the 2017 Peugeot 2008?

As a small crossover SUV, the 2017 Nissan Juke’s most obvious rival is the Peugeot 2008 and, although the Nissan offers more striking styling, the Peugeot delivers with a great safety rating and a good-looking, spacious interior.
