The Nissan Juke 2020 arrives with three engine options and even a plug-in hybrid version

Nissan has released new images that preview more secrets of the new Nissan Juke 2020. The crossover from Nissan will be officially presented on 3 September, followed by a debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show held a few weeks later.

The images are not very revealing, but they show that the crossover will have slim LED daytime running lights positioned above the round headlights. A more prominent grille can also be made out, echoing the one found on newer models such as the Nissan Rogue and the Nissan Murano.

Additional styling details are hard to make out, but the crossover appears to be fitted with a plastic cladding with a silver accent below the grille. The brand has not said much about the new Nissan Juke 2020, but previously captured spy photos have shown that it will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor.

In particular, the crossover will have a raked windscreen and muscular wheel arches. Other notable highlights include a sloping roofline, a compact cabin and an evolutionary rear end.

The small SUV is expected to arrive early next year and is built on the CMF platform that also underpins the Renault Clio and the Renault Captur. Engine options remain unconfirmed, but there could be a turbocharged 1.3-litre four-cylinder with outputs starting at 140 CV and rising to 160 CV. Reports also suggest a turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder version and a 1.5-litre diesel variant could be available.

There are also reports suggesting the company will offer a plug-in hybrid variant using a 1.6-litre petrol engine, an electric motor and even a 9.8 kWh battery. According to the reports, this setup would give the model a fully electric range of around 30 kilometres.

It is worth noting that the brand has sold more than one million units since the model debuted in 2010. The new Nissan Juke 2020 is already in the final stages of road testing, showing a new look and agile driving performance.

Designed in Europe, the new Nissan Juke 2020 “has been an exciting and successful journey of collaboration, bringing together talented Nissan designers across the region to work together on its evolution. The original Juke landed with a significant impact and captured drivers’ imagination: the next chapter is about to begin,” the brand said.

Ahead of its debut on 3 September, the B-SUV can be seen to feature elegant coupé-style lines with eye-catching 19-inch alloy wheels that help set a new standard in compact design. The brand has adapted to the segment’s customer demands for “leading design, cutting-edge technology and optimal performance”. In addition, the Nissan Juke will become the third model from the brand to be equipped with ProPILOT technology, which forms part of the vision of Nissan Intelligent Mobility.

The cabin is now larger to provide more space and comfort for the driver and passengers, “without losing its agile driving character”. “After launching and leading the B-SUV segment with the first model, the Nissan Juke 2020 will soon return with its unique identity, even more character, exciting performance and a leading level of connectivity that responds to drivers’ changing needs.”

The manufacturer has stated that “Nissan is about to unleash an even greater personality and an exciting driving experience that will appeal to the growing number of drivers choosing the B-SUV segment. Rest assured: while the Nissan Juke has grown in many respects, it will ultimately remain fun to drive.”
