Summary

The Nissan Juke is a small SUV/crossover that sits below the Qashqai in the Nissan range. The current model was launched in 2019 and is the second generation of Juke. Like the original model, it is built in Nissan’s factory in Sunderland.

The new Juke has a much more competitive Expert Rating than the old model, based on the 24 reviews we have analysed so far. This puts it in the top half of its field, although it is still some way behind the class leaders in the small SUV/crossover segment.

The Nissan Juke has received widespread praise for its smoother styling compared to the divisive original, as well as being much better to drive. However, despite the big step forward, the engine is considered weak and it is still not considered to be as well finished as the Volkswagen T-Cross or T-Roc models.

As of May 2025, the Nissan Juke holds a New Car Expert Rating of B, with a score of 67%. It scores top marks for its low average CO2 emissions, while running costs are low and it has a good safety rating. However, its media review scores and its reliability record are poor.

Reliability rating

Reliability data provided exclusively for The Car Expert by MotorEasy

All data based on MotorEasy average workshop costs for extended car warranty claims

The Nissan Juke has a reliability score that’s slightly lower than average, according to exclusive extended warranty data provided by our partners at MotorEasy. This score covers both the current-generation Juke and the previous (pre-2019) version.

The most common reported fault with the Juke relates to its braking system, although the average repair bill is only about £200. Be aware of gearbox problems, however – they’re not uncommon, and are expensive with an average repair bill of more than £2,700.

If you’re looking at a used Nissan Juke, make sure any extended warranty cover you purchase covers all of the potential problem areas listed above.

The Nissan Juke scores well in most of its running costs, with very good results for servicing, insurance and road tax. The only area where it doesn’t achieve excellent results is fuel consumption – which is unfortunately the most significant monthly cost.

Results are average for the petrol model, but that’s not a great result for a small, supermini-based SUV/crossover. Some rivals perform better.
