The new Juke will be sold exclusively as an electric vehicle and will be produced at the brand's British plant in Sunderland, alongside the Leaf model. It is based on the CMF-EV or AmpR Medium platform, used by models including the Renault Scenic E-Tech, Alpine A390, and Nissan Ariya, with a planned global launch in the spring of next year.
Nissan has not yet released the final specifications of the Juke, nor interior photos of this crossover, but it has revealed the complete exterior design. It is clear that the third-generation Juke looks different from any other model Nissan sells. In fact, the design is striking enough to resemble a concept car more than one that will be sold on the market.
The design is dominated by sharp and jagged lines, starting from the front with a large darkened grille and intriguing headlights. It also features angular black wheel arches, while much of the body is painted in a bright shade of green. This color truly helps highlight the Juke's profile, especially its door cladding.
As with the outgoing Juke, the rear door handles remain on the C-pillars. Like the front, the rear looks bold with intricate LED taillights and a distinctive tailgate.
Like the current Leaf, the new Juke will support "vehicle-to-grid" technology. The battery packs will likely be the same as those in the Leaf, meaning it could be offered with 52 kWh and 75 kWh batteries. Interestingly, the existing second-generation Juke will also remain on the market.
Despite initial plans to replace the old model with this new one, the second and third-generation versions will instead be sold side by side. Of course, it is clear that Nissan will refresh the design of the old model to align with the new electric model.
