Nissan is currently overhauling the majority of its SUV range, but its smallest Juke crossover has only received minor changes for the 2023 model year.

    Vehicles started arriving early in 2023.

    Pricing is up by between $400 and $500 for 2023, depending on the trim level, with the Juke range now starting at $28,390 before on-road costs for the entry-level ST, and extending to $36,890 before on-road costs for the flagship Ti.

    Headlining the updates available across the range are a series of “aerodynamic changes” that first debuted on the Juke Hybrid, which has yet to launch locally.

    These exterior tweaks include repositioned front tyre spoilers, a re-profiled rear spoiler, and a rear axle cover.

    Nissan’s new badging also appears on the updated Juke, while there’s a new hexagonal front grille insert.

    There are two new exterior paint options available on the Juke – Ceramic Grey and Magnetic Blue. The latter replaces Vivid Blue in the palette.

    The Nissan Juke will continue to be offered in five trim levels – ST, ST+, ST-L, ST-L+, and Ti.

    ST and ST+ models get new 17-inch alloy wheels with a two-tone finish and a turbine-like design.

    The ST-L gets a shark-fin antenna, leather-accented Monoform seats, and black interior elements.

    ST-L, ST-L+ and Ti models get a new luggage board that’s said to “make the most of the boot storage”, as well a new keyless entry system with a walkaway locking and approach unlocking function.

    ST-L+ and Ti models still have a Bose premium sound system but receive two additional rear speakers, bringing the total to 10 speakers.

    The entire Nissan Juke range is still powered by a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 84kW of power and 180Nm of torque.

    This is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission as standard.
