This combination is undeniably stunning. Inside, there are significant updates, starting with the revamped instrument panel and center console. Nissan has also enhanced the fit and finish and upgraded the interior materials.
The infotainment screen has been tilted towards the driver, bringing the touch controls on the left side closer to them. Just below the infotainment system, you’ll find four physical buttons, a volume knob, the central air vents, the hazard lights button, and the HVAC panel. It’s worth noting that Nissan still uses physical controls for the climate system, which is surprising considering the trend of touch controls in modern cars.
Lower down, there is a wireless charging pad for smartphones, but it can only accommodate phones no larger than the iPhone 12 Pro Max, measuring 160.8 by 78.1 by 7.4 millimeters. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is slightly bigger in all dimensions, measuring 162.3 millimeters in length, 79 millimeters in width, and 8.6 millimeters in thickness.
Both front and rear occupants have access to USB-A and USB-C ports. The N-Connecta and higher trim levels feature a 12.3-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1,920 by 720 pixels. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are available wirelessly. The N-Connecta grade adds yellow highlights, while the N-Sport goes even further with yellow Alcantara inserts on the seats.
The seats in the N-Connecta variant are upholstered in Kira Melange, a combination of PVC and fabric accents. Tekna seats improve on this with quilted inserts on the back and base, but they are exclusively PVC. Other interior updates include a more supportive center armrest with a storage cubby and a clip that can hold three credit cards, an electric handbrake, and a larger glovebox for the UK market, which is 6.6 liters or 29 percent larger than before.
Hybrid models have relocated EV Mode and e-Pedal buttons. The 2024 model year facelift also brings more safety features, with Intelligent Driver Alertness now standard across all trims. Lane Keep Assist, which is arguably more practical than a system that only alerts you when you’re drowsy, is standard on the well-equipped Tekna and higher trims.
The Tekna grade also benefits from the Around View Monitor camera system. Regardless of the trim level, Nissan has upgraded the rearview camera from a 0.3-megapixel sensor to a 1.3-megapixel sensor. As for powertrains, there have been no changes from the pre-facelift Juke. The standard engine is a three-cylinder turbo with 114 ps (112 hp) and 180 Nm (133 pound-feet) of torque. It can be paired with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The hybrid powertrain, available from the Acenta Premium grade and above, combines a naturally aspirated I4 engine with a starter generator, an electric motor, and a 1.2-kWh battery. The starter generator has a power rating of 15 kW (20 ps or 20 hp), while the traction motor can deliver up to 36 kW (49 ps or 48 hp) and 205 Nm (151 lb-ft) of torque. In the case of the 1.6-liter engine, the power figures are 69 kW (94 ps or 93 hp) and 148 Nm (109 lb-ft) of torque. Both powertrain options are designed for front-wheel drive, with no option for all-wheel drive.
