What are the running costs?

The Juke generally provides pretty low running costs, but we can’t help but feel like Nissan could be doing more. The Juke’s sister car, the Renault Captur, is available as a plug-in hybrid, while competitors such as the Peugeot 2008 and Vauxhall Mokka can be had with all-electric drive.

There’s little to moan about when it comes to the Juke’s 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. When paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, it will return a claimed 47.9mpg – a figure we found realistic while testing.

The seven-speed dual-clutch automatic claims 46.3mpg, but we’ve struggled to get more than 40mpg in this example. CO2 emissions are also reasonable, with Nissan quoting as low as 134g/km for the manual and 137g/km for the automatic.

Nissan says the hybrid is capable of delivering 54mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 118g/km. However, during our 60-mile mixed test route we didn’t see much above 42mpg.

Servicing and warranty

Nissans come with a three-year/60,000-mile warranty, and the company offers you the option to extend this for another 12 months, but with the same maximum mileage limit.

There are a trio of fixed-price service plans available on the Nissan Juke, spanning two, three or four years. These cover scheduled maintenance, and you get 12 months of roadside assistance, too. As with rival manufacturers, Nissan lets you either pay for the service plan outright, or in monthly instalments.

Reliability

• Old Juke doesn’t have the best reliability record 
• Nissan in general, does, however 
• Not the best warranty

Since 2019, the Juke has been subject to two recalls. The first relates to the rear seats and the other was to do with a faulty air bag. Both recall dates were in 2021 so this shouldn’t be an issue now.

The petrol and hybrid powertrains are already used across other Renault and Nissan models, and hopefully should prove robust.
