The Nissan Juke (Japanese: 日産・ジューク, Hepburn: Nissan Jūku) is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan since 2010. Debuted as a production vehicle at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March, it was introduced to North America at the 2010 New York International Auto Show to be sold for the 2011 model year, and it currently slots below the compact Qashqai.
The second-generation model was revealed for the European market in September 2019, offering larger dimensions by utilising the newer Renault–Nissan CMF-B platform.[1] The second generation marks the withdrawal of the model from most markets outside Europe and Australasia to make way for the Nissan Kicks.[2][3][4]
The name "juke" means to "dance or change directions demonstrating agility", and is also derived from the word "jukebox".[5]
