@@CarExpertAus OK, I've just stuck the vessel in reverse gear. It hasn't got a reverse camera like the Nissan Juke has so I might need help doing this 3 point turn.
I like this channel. Nice camera work, 4k, good editing and graphics, regular noting of finish and fitment issues, and informative reviews that hit all the key points. The durometer and driver height graphics are nice points of difference. Keep up the good work. I've subscribed.
I've bought a Juke (arrives next week) and I have watched over 30 reviews - this is by far the best I've seen as he explains the details very well and leaves out the 'fluff' - thanks!
I love the look of the old Juke. I had a 2011 and now drive a 2013 Nismo 6 speed. Was so upset when it was replaced by Kicks (boring). Guess I'll be keeping it for a while.
Ah yes, the Kicks is smaller than the Juke I think. We don't get the Kicks in Australia - I'm hoping they roll out some Nismo power to the new Juke. The platform is capable of all-wheel drive, so it would be fun to see a potent hot hatch from Nissan.
Great review, personally I actually like the look of this car. If the engine was stronger and had AWD I would consider getting this. Do we know if a larger engine is coming? In Europe the reviewers advised that overtaking on motorways was difficult in this car. Paul can you do a comparison review with this car? Like Kia Seltos vs Juke vs T-Cross?
At this stage Australia will just get this engine and transmission combination. But the platform is capable of all-wheel drive, so I suspect the broader strategy will include new drivetrains for this platform :-D On the topic of comparisons, we're looking at a format that will work so keep an eye out in the coming months!
Great review again! I saw a white one the other day from the back and it looked quite 'squat' with big haunches. It was only a quick look but I wan't sold at least in that colour. Those 'huggy' :) seats look good however I wonder for the rear passengers if that black plastic on the headrests will be a pain for reflections (although there will rarely be more than 2 people in most of these). Also surprised they didn't go with a CVT for this, I thought that would have made more sense since it is a city car. And finally, even though it is the top spec, I couldn't justify nearly $40k on the road!
Yep it's a big step up in price over the last generation. But it's now playing in a segment where the others are charging a premium. It arguably feels like better value for money too given the materials they use throughout the cabin.
My ECUTek Tuned to 244 WHP 2011 Full custom down pipe exhaust all the way out the back, TS BOV, 2J crank Pulley, Mishimoto Front mount Inner cooler N 3 port XL Oil Catch Can, AWD Juke SL will smoke that thing and Yeah that's newer but in no way other than the (CVT) is it better than the Older models.... But I'll check this out.. They won't bring the Juke to the states and if they did they would have to put a bigger 2.0L or 2.4L turbo in it along with a dual clutch transmission and they would have a hit no doubt!! People who own Jukes love them especially the 6 speed manuals.. All Nissan would have to do is put a Dual cutch auto with an AWD system that can handle 350/400 Torque, and leave it tunable and it would be a hit here.. The sticks are starting to become popular here.. People are seeing there tuning potential along with their cheap price.. The Early CVT's really gave the Jukes a Bad Name.. The problem was that in order to keep the CVT from Breaking you would have to do a drain and fill at least once a year if it's a daily driver.. And people did not know to do it.. And Nissan wasn't telling people to do it..
thanks for making family guy, i love when stewie goes "what the deuce" hes my favourite!!! BTW why did you kill brian dog? (dw just saw the new episode hes alive good.)
thanks for sharing! it's in the same price range as a honda HRV and potentially a basic CRV. if you're buying a new one, which car would you recommend from cars within this price range? thanks!
Had it for a few months now the problems would be: - Sometimes the engine may not be as smooth, at times it may just rattles or shakes - About $1k for the 3rd year servicing (I think they'd have to replace the trans) so the cap price servicing is not as attractive as Ford's - Wish there's the thing on top of your head to hold onto and sunglasses box - Suspension a bit too firm But: - Love the sound of the engine and the G-pull if you want to be the Hoon for the day - They fixed the petrol cap on the body, it's not stick out like in the vid. - Very accommodating if you're single or a small family - the looks and sporty handling - Nissans haven't sold much of these so yeah you'd get great deals on these if you look around especially during this shortage season Cheers 👍
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
You're right, but it's a situation most drivers will find themselves in when doing a u-turn or being impatient. Outside of that particular shot it would do the same thing when stationary.
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
It’s a Crossover not an SUV. A lifted vehicle based on a passenger car platform is a Crossover - Because it’s crossing over from Car to SUV (but hasn’t made it). An SUV is a vehicle NOT based on a passenger car platform.
@@CarExpertAus that's a shame, it's a nice looking car but I can't really justify to pay nearly $40k for this. The Nismo Juke RS despite its age seems like a better option if I just want performance
Nissan traditionally uses a CVT : journalist's not happy Nissan switches to Dsg : still not happy. Well if DSG shud belong in a sports car, why exactly are we flooring a crossover and expecting it to act like one.
Not quite - we've praised the CVT in X-Trail and Pathfinder. I think the gearbox pairs well with those engines. This alliance transmission is poorly calibrated and is unpleasant to drive unless it's in Sport mode.
I had a Nissan never again. A Japanese car that's lost its way that's paired up with Renault? No thanks. Drive in sports mode and I'd suggest it will poop itself once warranty runs out with a 1.0 litre turbo.
Do not get this car. Ive had mine since Feb 2022 - huge regret! Just not worth the AU 40K. The drive and steering is terrible especially at low speeds driving around carparks.
still a nissan JOKE. lame transmission lame engine looks weird expensive cheap quality control corolla had a 100kw engine in 1986 2020 and we are still fart assing around with 3 cylinder 84kw rubbish.
