Nissan Juke - pictures

Its quirky styling and low pricing makes the Nissan Juke an attractive buy.

Juke looks sporty from the rear thanks to raked hatch and curvaceous lights. 

Heavy steering and firm suspension give the Juke a planted feel. Thanks to decent chassis control, you can enjoy driving the Juke on twisty roads. 

The Juke is a little less sophisticated on long journeys. The diesel engine is noisy and the slightly harsher ride makes motorway trips tiring. 

Juke feels slower than the Captur despite sharing the same engine. It's 115kg heavier, but the gearbox is more pleasant to use than the Renault's. 

Its frog-eye front gives the Nissan Juke a purposeful look.

We’d recommend Nissan’s 1.5 litre dCi diesel engine with the Juke for maximum efficiency and performance. 

The Nissan Juke has a striking presence on road.

Stylish rear light clusters contribute to the distinctive look.

In terms of petrol engines, the Nissan Juke is available with a 1.2-litre turbo and two 1.6-litre units - one turbo and one non-turbocharged engine.

There's plenty of kit on offer, but the Juke is expensive. Tekna trim adds cameras which come in very handy because visibility in the Juke is pretty poor. 

Juke's fascia is showing age, with low-res graphics for sat-nav and climate control screens. Material quality isn't great, either, but it's well equipped. 

For people looking for a diesel version the 1.5 litre turbodiesel engine is an economical choice with 108bhp.

Head and legroom in the rear is fairly limited. 

The Juke feels very cramped in the rear and access is tricky, too. Wheelarch intrusion and small rear doors don't help. 

Boot space weighs in at 354 litres. 

There's 354 litres of boot space on offer, with an adjustable boot floor for extra flexibility.
