Detailed Review
The F15 marked the first generation of the Nissan Juke, which began production in 2010 and continued until 2019. The Nissan Juke is currently in its second generation, designated the F16. The vehicle is larger and based on an all-new CMF-B platform shared with the second-generation Renault Captur and the fifth-generation Renault Clio. The new platform makes extensive use of high-strength steel which is claimed to offer better stability, performance, and cornering capabilities.
The 2020 Nissan Juke is available with one engine option, a 1.0 L Turbocharged three-cylinder Petrol linked to either a CVT or a 6-speed manual transmission.

Taller passengers occupying the second row might find it crampy owing to the sloping roofline resulting to a limited headroom.

Exterior
The 2020 Nissan Juke features a bold and distinctive look that cannot go unnoticed. Its muscular stance and aggressive contours seamlessly blend with modern aesthetics. A V-shaped grille furnished with chrome embellishments gives the Nissan Juke an imposing look.

The pronounced wheel arches add a muscular look to the Juke as character lines showcase its aggressive stance. The 17-inch alloy wheels contribute to the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. Its beltline and gently sloping roofline which integrates with a roof spoiler improve aerodynamics resulting in better performance and fuel efficiency.
The rear encompasses a power liftgate, LED taillights, and turn signals. The Nissan emblem is present to assert the presence of this compact crossover.
