Nissan Juke

The Nissan Juke is one of 318 Nissan models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2010. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Nissan Juke properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Lexus Lexus LFA, the Jeep Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Lamborghini Lamborghini Aventador — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Nissan Juke reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1.5 L Nissan HR engine#HR15DE / HR15DE Straight-four engine / I4 / 1.6 L Nissan HR engine#HR16DE / HR16DE I4 / 1.6 L Nissan MR engine#MR16D; kerb weight is recorded at 2912 -; top speed is given as 180 km/h; drive goes through 5-speed manual / 6-speed manual / Xtronic CVT / 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (Juke-R); the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive / Front-engine, all-wheel-drive (2010–2019) / Front-motor, front-wheel-drive (2026–present). Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Nissan story

Within Nissan's own catalogue the Nissan Juke sits alongside the Nissan N6, the Nissan N7, the Nissan NX8, the DeltaWing. The record names the Nissan Dualis (Japan) as its predecessor and the Nissan Kicks (Americas & Asia) as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Matthew Weaver / Kenji Kawasaki (pre-facelift Juke Nismo). Assembly is recorded at Japan: Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture / Kanagawa (Nissan#Manufacturing locations / Oppama Plant) / United Kingdom: Sunderland (Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK / NMUK) / Indonesia: Pur.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Nissan Juke costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
