Nissan Juke SUV 2014 review - Carbuyer

"The new Nissan Juke has the same eye-catching looks of the outgoing model, but gets a range of more economical engines, a larger boot, and more tech."

Fuck people's opinions if you like it buy it

[Zenssei]

My mom has one a red one
But the red one is the car that matches better with the design
Why so much hate i liked the car

[benanderson]

I used to have a Diesel Juke Tekna as a company car. In black the car looks excellent and the Oil Burner is superb, really easy car to do overtaking manoeuvres with. Give it a bit of throttle even in 6th gear and it'll happily pull away.

If you're a fan of the looks then give one a test drive. Comfy, solidly built, good MPG and not a wallet breaker.

I think now that cars are all looking the same, I think that Juke stands out in design. Whenever I see it on the roads, I immediately look at it, not cause it's ugly but because it's different. I definitely would check it out if I was in the market for a car.

I like the Juke.

Either you like it or you hate it.

This car looks so ugly as it is. Honestly, if Nissan was smart and put a normal front end on this thing, it would sell like mad. It has a low starting price, and the rest of the car actually looks pretty decent in my mind. Its just those damn crocodile eye headlights that are scaring off everyone. Its a shame they couldn't cash in on the small CUV craze because this thing could have enjoyed a good 4 years of being the only option on the market. Now every automaker is releasing a small CUV, whether its honda with the vezel or chevy with the trax

When the Juke was first released, I thought it was the ugliest car on the road. I must admit however that its grown on me and I know think it's one of the better looking cars on the road. It's not pretty, but it's interesting and kinda handsome in a brutish way. It isn't very practical though- when looking at one, I found the boot to be rather small and had a rather large load lip. While the legroom in the back wasn't bad, the headroom wasn't too great, and I can't help thinking that glossy, metallic trim around the gearbox and doors will get scratched up horribly pretty soon. Having said that though, you can easily get a top spec Juke, low miles, that's only a couple of years old for around £10, 000. If you can see past the pokey interior, I'd recommend it

I wanna be honest, I don't hate the Juke, sure it looks odd but I don't think its a bad looking car, especially with 18inch Alloy wheels it looks pretty cool. If i had to describe the Juke with one word is "Unique".

[JohnInSale]

Atleast Nissan didn't kill it's charm with the facelift like Skoda have with the Yeti !!!
Can you get AWD as an option now on all the engines unlike before, I hope so, otherwise it's just gonna remain a car driven by pensioners, like Matt eluded to in the review !!!

[mustsilm]

I just dont get it. Looks big outside, not big inside actually, not as practical as some competitors. Not something u would do offroading. So whats the point?

I dont think the styling is cool either. U can do cool and original, this isnt like it. I just dont like the headlights at all.

At least the new Gashgai actually looks kind of good, u could think its more of a Infiniti than usual Nissan, but this?

Im in my 20s but i dont think its cool fun young peoples car either. And no, i dont think that all cars should look like Golf.

[TheCoBBus]

I hate to say but that is the UGLIEST car I know

Recently, my partner and I purchased the pre-owned 2014 Nissan Juke for our 3rd vehicle. And honestly... I like but I don't love. However, the only reasons for not loving-the-vehicle are because 1. No Touch Screen, 2. Light Tinted Windows, and 3. No Reversal Camera, 4. White Color. This being mentioned, installing these features is affordable and bypasses the 2014 Nissan Juke's cons. 2014 Nissan Juke pros indicate hatchback, unique exterior style, sun roof, good gas mileage, 3 drive-modes (Eco, Normal, and Sport), and adequately spacious for a shared compact vehicle. I doubt we'll modify the color as this would cost over $1, 000.00. We plan to install the touch screen, tint the windows, and install a reversal camera (though, the reversal camera isn't necessary as the hatchback allows a perfect view for reversal parking without a camera).

Our goal is to essentially follow the path of financial freedom. We'll drive this cute, unique-looking good-on-gas-mileage hatchback to save money as our Vintage Dodge and luxury Dodge Trucks are costly to drive. We not only saved mega bucks from purchasing this vehicle versus a more updated vehicle; we're a step closer to being debt-free. In short, recommended if you'd not mind installing advanced features (touch screen and reversal camera). I'd much rather have the 2014 Nissan Juke and only pay a few hundreds out-of-pocket for installing mentioned updates versus the financial-tie to pay for an updated vehicle that is costly and prevents or slows-down the path to financial freedom. Our goal is to retire early and comfortably. I'm 27 years of age and my partner is 38 years of ago.

Thank you for the informative insight.

Dear  Carbuyer, Why there is only one single owner  review of the Nissan Juke  in the owners Carbuyer page ?
I mean this is the UK best  seller car, right ?

[dsinghr]

one of the most ugly cars running on streets of USA

[macblox]

Start: ugly that's one way to describe the juke

[grantkidd]

I hate it when you say "... for your iPhone." Ever heard of Android, Windows etc. ? 

[IceCream]

Another good thing is about this car, is that it probably won't get stolen.

God this car is ugly... (Fiat Multipla ugly).

[darrenwilson]

Got one like this - only thing I'd say is that contrary to the review it goes great in town and on the motorway and as ever the MPG figs quoted are misleading - I get 38.4mpg overall. The corner grip IS something of a bum clencher AND the brake feel is very poor though stopping power seems fine. Super reliable - 25k miles in 11 months and nothing has gone wrong - more than I can say - far more than I can say - about my previous Ford CMax

Love how Car Buyer is nice and honest! Finds the nitty gritty. Keep it up!

The Pontiac Aztec for a new generation. ;)
