I have the juke and have to say I LOVE the sporty feel it gives but the safety features really do hold it back so every time I get in the juke I have to turn off braking assist coz a couple of times its camera sensor got triggered by its own light in the rain
The drive is terrible though. I bought one after watching the JUkE review videos and the longer I have the car, the more I regret it. Today i was driving along when crash sensor went off - auto brakes applied, warning alerts were blaring but there was nothing in front of me. In a 80km zone this was not fun!!!! And this always happens!!! Very jumpy bunny hoppy drive - for 40000 AUD youd think theyd at least have the driving experience right. Seems as though they put their budget in the aesthetics but even that isnt amazing
We came to Spain with the intent of buying the Spain version of the Nissan Kicks (X-Trail). But left with the 2020 Nissan Jukes. So in love with this car. We got the white with Black Roof. It’s so sexy.
I have my Nissan Juke N-design for 3 weeks and I am completely in love 😍👌💯 Pearl white and Black, Bose system... is spectacular all!!! (I'm from Portugal).
We own a 2016 Juke Stinger in the U.S. and love it. It’s been a blast to drive and very reliable so far. I really wish they would have brought the new Juke to the U.S. for now, we can only dream about one.
Great review Matt as always. I saw a white one in the flesh the other day and I was quite intrigued. Certainly a big step over the last Juke! I quite like it. How’s the dual clutch at low speeds? Jerky? So many makers are putting them in city cars and this is where clutch packs burn up- in stop start traffic. Is this Nissan’s first dual clutch? Didn’t know they started using them.
Yeah neither did I! Fully expected a CVT! The dual clutch is very dual clutchy, hesitant at low speeds, changing from drive to reverse, and some roll back as if you're in neutral. But when your going, it's great. And shifts are nice and kicky when in sport mode!
Very good review. I was hoping Nissan would install digital speed and rev counter display to the lovely re-styled 2021 Juke, but it seems alas, they still have the old needles type. Pity, it's a lovely looking car.
You need to look at previous models reliability of an a auto box isn't great especially when I've had a 2020 model sent back and Nissan gave a new one under warranty so beware a gearbox is expensive out of warranty and it shouldn't be failing within 12 months.The model I bought was top spec and had everything in and on it.
JUKE .... My wife loved her 2013 Juke.SL AWD.. and would buy another one in a heartbeat... she now owns a fully loaded 2020 Kona AWD loaded... and she hates it. Bring back the Juke to the USA
All old Jukes should be handed in and crushed these then should be given out free as a replacement with an apology for all the offence the old model caused
I love what they've done with the Juke! So much so I've shortlisted it on my car purchase... I'm now considering ever the 2021 Nissan Juke, 2021 MG ZS or the 2021 ford Kuga ST...🤔 Too much choice 🤣 I need to be able to fit 2 Axkid minikid side by side 🤦
I have a juke 3 cilinder petrole automatic, I love it but over 100km an hour there is wind turbulence above your head, which after an our, gets annoying. Let me know. Joe
At 2.40 the Nissan Juke looks kind of like a Hyundai Veloster that as it grew up and "let itself go" after endless Fast Food binges! Re the Juke slash CX-30 preference, I've omitted voting as they seem to appeal to a somewhat different demographic - the Juke being the 'out there' car while the CX-30 might suit a more conservative/ maybe older set. Re other things. Colour if fantasic in red (which I usually avoid on other cars), & 'Lumbar' is for an old bloke like me, an essential inclusion. In Aussie, heated seats are NOT really necessary, but (as on my car) cooled seats equal bliss with a Captial B! Interior is a real "what the....?! " moment. It really is v good. In short. I've rather underestimated the Nissan Juke, especially this '21 one. [from me abt 3 miles north of where you do your tests. :-)]
For me the Duke is nicer love it have a 191 mirca love it but have it 3 years next car is the nissan Duke for sure lovely car much nicer then the old duke
I thought you was going to say the car makes you feel that you are the one that’s punching. Anyway, it’s possible to lease this car for £158 a month on PCH so....I hope my wife will enjoy her new car!
I just bought a CX-30 G25 Astina AWD last week, hopefully I can pick it up on Thursday!!!!! So I’m 100% team #mazda. I was going to buy a Golf but as soon as I drove the Mazda, I knew it was the car for me. It’s a very luxurious car for the price, please review one! I’d love hear your opinion on it. Another great review! 👍
Haha thanks Chad! And massive congrats! I feel a lot of my subs are Mazda owners based on this video 😁 Reviewing my first Mazda press car in 2 weeks, so definitely watch this space 😉
@@CarSauce if you haven’t already driven the car and it’s a 3 or CX-30 take notice of the air conditioning. It was my only complaint about the car, when you press the accelerator you can feel the air conditioning get warmer because the air compressor turns off and then turns back on. Nobody in the dealership ever noticed it before I mentioned it. Curious to see if anyone else notices it. It’s probably not warm enough in Melbourne to tell yet...
Great review. It certainly looks a whole lot better than the last one. I’m not a fan of these small Cross overs as a sector personally. Why they try to make them look like coupes, and add ‘sporty’ materials such as alcantara just seems pointless to me. It’s ashame these sorts of cars are replacing the good old family sedan or wagon.
So would I Mazda has a decent 2.0 na eng about 115kw not the low compacity 3clyl then they whack a turbo for a bit of kick highly stressed over worked eng which would probably have a limited life span 160000km throw it away and finally wouldn't touch a Nissan under Renault turn this once auto manufacturer into a dog and lemon brand like the rest of Renault products
Fair enough! Time will tell though. It's a pretty popular engine across the industry at the moment, I could be wrong but Mercedes is also using a derivative of this 3cyl for some of their models too. Thanks for the comment Robert! 🙂
Disclosure I own the Juke plum with silver rooftop technology spectrum for a family car of 3 it rocks and gives us more lush for the money spend ❤❤❤❤ the Juke burst buy
Like your positivity dude! I fell in love with the JUKE as well! I was hoping of replacing the old box with mr. juke. What are your thoughts on 3-cylinder 1.0 engine?
Matt u yelled for more then few menets about nissan juke but dint utter a word about its price in any currency of the world.hope uk ow how to sel a horse dunkey and a zarapha.
I did a test drive but didn't satisfy with it. First, leg room for driver is ridiculous, there is a bump on the middle console that keep pressing your leg if you put your left foot on the rest. Yes, they use Alcantara but it's not integrated in the dash, they just put it on top of other things. Side look is amazing and the first thing that I liked to consider it for purchase. The transmission is responsive and sporty. But 1.0L engine is not enough for this car and if it's works fine now there is no guarantee that it keeps working through time (I just don't want to be the person to test it). In my view, with this engine it's very expensive and not worth it considering the fact that I'm not the fan of fancy facilities like 360cams (I'm still comfortable to park with side mirrors). Overall, for a car around AUD40K, there are way better options and I purchased another one with a better engine. Hope it helps someone to make decision.
Nothing personal, this juke is only 1 to 1.6 L car engine. Despite the fact we don't have a certain protocol and conventional rule in auto review but IMHO you speak too highly on this "Juke". This car is no where near to CX 30. when we level this car with mazda cx3, toyota chr, and the rest of small cars engine, it makes sense. So when I buy a car I would consider the engine capacity that match to the card dimension. The rest features such as interior is pretty much a standard for the new car design and that interior can be treated as add on which we can do it at anytime at our personal cost.
The drive is terrible though. I bought one after watching the JUkE review videos and the longer I have the car, the more I regret it. Today i was driving along when crash sensor went off - auto brakes applied, warning alerts were blaring but there was nothing in front of me. In a 80km zone this was not fun!!!! And this always happens!!! Very jumpy bunny hoppy drive - for 40000 AUD youd think theyd at least have the driving experience right. Seems as though they put their budget in the aesthetics but even that isnt amazing
That is a lot of money for a stupid 1 liter, a definite step back from the sweet, punchy 1.6 liter MR16DDT engine that was the newest engine from Nissan a few years ago. For the price of a base Jule you can buy a MG HS Base which has 17 inch alloy, 1.5 four cylinder turbo, Mid Size SUV with 7 year warranty. for an extra $1,000 the next trim gets synthetic leathers, key-less entry, Sat Nav, rear seat recline-able, lumber support for driver, LCD/analogue dash, climate control, chrome trim, fog lights, lots of USB charge ports, Leather steering wheel and gear knob, sport metal pedals, push button start, LED tail light, indicators on mirror, rear camera, and rear sensors, Driver Safety Suite systems, DRL, Adaptive cruise all for $30,990 Australia dollars Driver away and I forgot touchscreen 10 inch infotainment. I was Shocked I could not believe it... $31K drive away price
