The article provides a review of the Nissan Juke Hybrid 143 Tekna+ model. The hybrid powertrain consists of a 93bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine and a 48bhp electric motor, resulting in a combined power output of 141bhp. The Juke's drive battery is a 1.2kWh unit connected to a 15kW starter-generator. The car's electronics prioritize the electric part of the system for improved fuel economy. The Juke received a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating and comes with additional safety features such as brake lights that flash during sudden and heavy braking, a driver-alertness system, and lane-departure warning. The Juke is competent to drive in various situations, with a smooth hybrid powertrain. However, it has limited rear visibility and the ride can be fidgety due to the 19-inch wheels. The Juke's cabin features a revised infotainment screen, new air vents, and a second 12.3-inch display for navigation information. The interior offers good cabin quality, although the gloss-black trim may be prone to scratches. The Juke has compact dimensions and limited rear space, with a high load lip and a narrower opening compared to other models. The article also provides specifications and photos of the Juke.
