2020 Nissan Juke goes into production

Nissan is marking the start of production of the 2020 Juke at its Sunderland plant, following a £100 million investment.

Designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK, the new Juke has been developed specifically for European markets, with Sunderland the only production location for this second-generation compact crossover.

Its launch comes almost 10 years after the original Juke’s daring styling broke the mold in the B-segment, and Nissan has raised the bar again, bringing new levels of technology and connectivity to the compact crossover category.

Developed by Nissan’s European design and R&D teams in Paddington, London, and Cranfield, Bedfordshire, 70% of Juke production will be for the EU markets, with two thirds of its suppliers based in the EU.

The 2020 Juke is powered by an efficient 1.0-liter 3-cylinder DIG-T turbocharged petrol engine which is manufactured in Sunderland. With 117 PS, it gives drivers improved performance, fuel economy and refinement.

Connected services and over-the-air updates make the new Juke the most connected Nissan ever. The new car comes with In-car NissanConnect, an 8-inch touch screen monitor, in-car WiFi hotspot and voice recognition. Nissan’s ProPilot technology, offers electronically assisted steering, acceleration and braking. Designed for highway use in single-lane traffic, ProPilot will be available on the Juke for the first time.

Sales start from the end of November in European markets.
