Nissan Juke Mk2 (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Distinctive looks	Limited powertrain options
Classy-feeling interior	Rear headroom slightly tight
Competitive boot space	Patchy reliability record

Quick Summary

The Nissan Juke Mk2 is a stylish small crossover SUV that stands out from the crowd with its distinctive, eye-catching design. Launched in 2019 and updated in 2024, it offers a well-made, premium-feeling interior with solid plastics and soft-touch materials. The cabin provides reasonable legroom, though headroom is slightly tight for taller passengers. Boot space is competitive at around 420 litres (70 litres less on hybrid models), with a good square shape that accommodates the rear seat fold-flat function. The driving position is adjustable with rake and reach steering column adjustment, though the small rear window does hamper visibility.

Powertrain options are limited to a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 113bhp or a self-charging petrol-electric hybrid introduced in 2022. The petrol manual achieves around 48mpg officially (low 40s in real-world driving), whilst the hybrid manages approximately 59mpg officially (around 50mpg in practice). The ride is fairly firm and can feel slightly jittery on poor surfaces, though handling is neat with good grip and responsive steering. The 2024 update brought larger touchscreens (12.3 inches) and digital dials, though the infotainment system can be confusing to navigate. Service intervals extend to 18,000 miles on later models, with fixed-price servicing available.

Best for: Buyers seeking a visually distinctive small SUV with a quality interior, those wanting hybrid efficiency, and drivers who prioritise style and practicality over powertrain variety.

Not ideal for: High-mileage drivers (no diesel option), those needing maximum rear headroom, buyers concerned about reliability, or those preferring more conventional styling.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Juke if: You want a visually distinctive small SUV with a quality interior, prefer hybrid efficiency, or prioritise style and practicality over powertrain variety.

Consider alternatives if: You do high mileage (no diesel option), need maximum rear headroom, are concerned about reliability, or prefer more conventional styling.

Competitive Position: The Nissan Juke Mk2 is a capable small SUV that excels in visual appeal and interior quality, but sits in a highly competitive market with several strong rivals. Whilst the Ford Puma outperforms it across all ratings, the Juke remains a solid choice for buyers seeking distinctive styling and a premium cabin feel. The Renault Captur and Volkswagen T-Cross offer comparable practicality and value, though neither matches the Juke's design flair. Limited powertrain options and a patchy reliability record are drawbacks, but the Juke's classy interior and competitive boot space make it an attractive proposition for style-conscious buyers who don't require diesel efficiency.
