JUKE CHANGE OF FACE

The new generation of the Nissan Juke will give the starting shot to the offensive of product that Nissan has scheduled for the European market until the next decade. The new Juke is already under development and while in certain markets was overtaken by Nissan Kicks, in Europe the brand will continue to bet on its picturesque and popular urban crossover. This is a really important launch, since its success will depend on the continuity of the model.
Leaving aside the greater or less importance that will have for the immediate future of Nissan the launch of the new generation of Juke, the moment is to imagine what will be the evolution that will suffer this model with its new generation. It could be a design revolution or just a simple upgrade.
Independent designers have taken as a basis the statements made by Nissan executives and the numerous photos of prototypes of the new Juke to create the recreations that advance how it could be the new model. The Japanese SUV will be quickly recognizable as it will retain its characteristic forms. This is bad news for Nissan enthusiasts who expected a radical image change in the model, but it will not be so.
Shiro Nakamura, Creative Director of Nissan, commented that while there are modifications to make Nissan Juke a more avant-garde model, it will remain recognizable: "It will be avant-garde and less conventional but will remain recognizable as a Juke." As if it were a mid-life upgrade, the major changes will be concentrated on the front end. The upper optical groups will be replaced by thinner ones and connected directly to the new 'V-motion' grid. In the middle part the headlights will continue to be rounded. The bumper will also be new design and due to the change of optical groups, the hood will be updated. With these new features, Nissan will adapt the Juke to its new design philosophy.
The rear will also show a significant amount of modifications. The lid will be new and will be crowned by a small but suggestive spoiler. The lanterns will be new and the bumper will also be updated according to the changes made in the front. The new Nissan Juke will show itself more modern, but will keep intact its different vehicle condition. At technical level there will be important news. The new Nissan Juke will be powered by the CMF-B platform. Remembering that the current model uses the old-fashioned B0 platform. Using the new architecture will allow you to adopt electrified mechanics if Nissan so wishes. Moreover, in addition to being offered with conventional mechanics (both diesel and gasoline) is being studied the possibility of introducing a hybrid version on the line.
In terms of connectivity and security the advances will be equally remarkable. The new multimedia system that will be incorporated into the Nissan Juke 2020 will allow access to all types of connected services, and logically have greater interactivity between the smartphone and the infotainment system. There will be numerous driver assistance systems, as ProPilot technology will also be present. Autoexpress.co.uk
