About the Nissan Juke
Nissan is currently overhauling the majority of its SUV range and its smallest SUV, the Nissan Juke crossover has received minor changes for the 2023 model year.
The Nissan Juke will continue to be offered in five trim levels – ST, ST+, ST-L, ST-L+, and Ti.
Headlining the updates available across the range are a series of “aerodynamic changes” that first debuted on the Juke Hybrid, which isn’t on the cards for an Australian introduction for now.

Price & Specs
Interior
The Juke's cabin give a good impression. It feels solid and robust, both in the materials used, which largely avoid much in the way of cheap and flimsy plastics, and in the general ambience.
There’s a strong sport-crossover vibe that seems keen to distance itself from typical SUV-isms and it tried hard to feels special and more than a little reminiscent of Nissan’s sports car stock. The design has a certain maturity lacking in, say, the cutesy key rival Toyota Yaris Cross.
All Juke variants get different dash treatments and the conspicuous suede-like Alcantara spread across the dash and door trims does the requisite trick.
The Juke’s take on interior styling is a bit old-school, be it the design of the switches and buttons, the look of the instrumentation or the presentation of the infotainment system. For a model around a year young, it looks and feels a generation older than some other crossovers and SUVs, notably those from Korea.
Of course, whether the pint-sized Nissan feels modern enough or not is a matter of personal taste.
The richness up front is mirrored largely in row two. While many compact-segment offerings go cheap in the rear accommodation, the Juke ensures all passengers feel like they’re travelling in the same class.
It’s also surprisingly roomy, with just enough headroom given the high seat bases, which offer smaller occupants decent enough visibility to the outside world, though the window line is high and glass area is quite small.
It’s a four-adult prospect at a stretch, which is a favourable enough outcome for anything certifiably compact in size. The drub, though, is the lack of rear air vents – the sole USB outlet isn’t much consolation for rear occupants faced with a long journey.
Exterior
These 2023 Juke 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.

- Arctic White

Nissan also offers three-, four, and five-year pre-paid service plans costing $1276, $1753, and $2077, respectively.
How it Drives
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.
Nissan Juke Safety Rating
The Nissan Juke has a five-star safety rating from ANCAP based on testing conducted in 2019.
It received an adult protection score of 94 per cent, child occupant protection score of 87 per cent, vulnerable road user protection score of 81 per cent, and safety assist score of 71 per cent.
All 2023 Nissan Juke models come standard with the following safety equipment:
- Front, front-side and curtain airbags
- Autonomous emergency braking (AEB)
- Pedestrian detection
- Cyclist detection
- Intelligent Lane Intervention (by braking)
- Lane-departure warning
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Rear cross-traffic alert
- Intelligent Driver Alert
- Traffic sign recognition
- Reversing camera
- Rear parking sensors
Front parking sensors are standard on the ST+ and above, whereas a surround-view camera and adaptive cruise control and standard on the ST-L and above.
Nissan Juke Warranty
The Nissan Juke is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with five years of roadside assist.
Servicing is required every 12 months or 20,000km, whichever comes first.
Nissan Juke Infotainment
The tech, too, isn’t quite daisy fresh, particularly the infotainment system’s navigation map display and the ordinary 360-degree camera feeds, which are grainy and distorted. It all works fine but lacks a bit of forward-thinking flash.
The eight-speaker Bose system (also fitted to the ST-L+) is part of the sweetener to stump up extra coin over the regular ST-L version and, well, it’s fine. We spent a while fiddling with sources and settings and its fairly bassy nature doesn’t really present the sort of clarity and fidelity of properly high-end systems.
Nissan Juke Boot Space
The boot, like row two, carves out decent enough space for the limited available real estate, offering a sizeable 422 litres – around twice that of Mazda CX-3 – in what’s more depth than length in luggage space.
It expands to handy 1305L with the rear seatbacks stowed, though you’ll be reaching for the tape measure before those overly ambitious trips to IKEA.
Nissan Juke Fuel Economy
The 2023 Nissan Juke consumes 5.8L/100km on the ADR combined cycle.
All models have a 46-litre fuel tank and runs on 95RON premium unleaded petrol. It features auto stop/start technology too.
The 2023 NISSAN JUKE is Combined (5.8) and E10 Compatible (-).

Should you buy the Nissan Juke
It turns out the Nissan Juke is an easy compact crossover to like – if you find its nuggety sportiness is the key attraction. If you’re the type to keep the Sport mode activated and drive it regularly with vigour, it fits its mould well.
It packs a great engine and a neat chassis, feels solid and substantial, and certainly arrives with a more mature spin. That said, it’s certainly not the nicest, most resolved or well-rounded small SUV or crossover out there. And it’s far from the last word when it comes to new-school ambience and techy window dressing.
For the goodness that it does bring, we can’t help thinking that saving a few bucks by dropping down to the middle of the range, to the ST-L, is money more shrewdly spent.
