Pricing announced for Nissan’s updated Juke

NISSAN has priced its updated-for-2023 Juke crossover from $28,390 plus on-road costs, a modest increase to the manufacturer’s recommended list price of just $400 applied across the six-variant line-up.

Bringing a new look and improved cabin technology to the range, the light SUV segment contender also benefits from aerodynamic changes and updated badging when it arrives in Australian showrooms from early 2023.

It also heralds the introduction of two new paint colours: Ceramic Grey and Magnetic Blue.

Further, lower-end Juke ST and ST+ variants now receive new 17-inch alloy designs while mid-spec ST-L grades debut new black interior elements and leather-accented upholstery with contrasting white stitching.

Nissan says the new Juke places renewed focus on practicality by offering a relocatable luggage board across the range, which helps to make the most of boot storage that already ranks as the largest in its class.

On some Juke variants, a proximity key offers keyless entry and push-button start, and a new premium Bose audio package includes speakers incorporated into the front head restraints. 

Higher-grade ST-L+ and Ti variants gain two additional speakers in the rear, taking the total speaker count to 10.

Powering the Juke is a turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine producing 84kW and 180Nm. It is paired exclusively to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and can return a fuel consumption figure as low as 5.8 litres per 100km on the ADR combined cycle.

All Juke grades benefit from a five-star ANCAP safety rating.

The Juke range again begins with the entry-spec ST (from $28,390 + ORC), which is equipped with 17-inch alloys, a rear spoiler, LED daytime running lights, auto folding and heated wing mirrors, paddle-shifters, idle-stop and a 4.2-inch TFT display as part of the instrument panel.

Nissan has also specified the Juke ST with an 8.0-inch infotainment array incorporating wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, four speakers and voice recognition. 

The base model features cloth upholstery and six-way manual seat adjustment on the driver’s side, as well as a long list of standard safety equipment including a rear-view camera and reverse parking sensors, alarm, forward collision warning, auto emergency braking, lane departure warning intervention, traffic sign recognition, cruise control and speed limiter, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, intelligent driver assist, high-beam assist, emergency stop signal and hill-start assist.

From $31,140 + ORC, the Juke ST+ adds LED fog lights, automatic climate control, heated front seats, satellite navigation, DAB+ digital radio and front parking sensors.

Moving up to the Juke ST-L we find 19-inch alloys, a shark fin-style antenna, keyless entry and ignition, an electrochromatic rear-view mirror, rain-sensing wipers, ambient interior lighting, electric park brake with auto hold, a larger 7.0-inch TFT screen on the instrument panel, rear USB outlet, three drive modes (Eco, Standard and Sport), and a vanity mirror with illumination.

The ST-L further gains leather-accented front armrest, steering wheel, gear shift knob trim plus a six-way manually adjustable front passenger seat, a six-speaker stereo, 360-degree camera technology with moving object detection and adaptive cruise control.

Like the Juke ST, the ST-L is topped by a ‘+’ variant (from $35,540 plus ORCs) adding cloth and leather-accented combination upholstery, a white leather-accented dashboard, knee pad, door trim and front armrest, and a black chrome centre console and head restraint finisher. The variant also scores a 10-speaker Bose audio system.

Topping the 2023 Nissan Juke range is the Ti and Ti Energy Orange duo priced identically at $36,890 + ORC.

Both variants feature 19-inch alloy wheels, illuminated sill covers, follow-me-home headlights, quilted and leather-accented upholstery with Alcantara trim, dashboard, knee pad and door panels, a soft instrument panel visor and tyre pressure monitoring.

Differentiating the Juke Ti Energy Orange variant are black and orange leather-accented upholstery, dashboard, knee pad, door trims and front armrest.

“This evolution of the Juke range delivers yet more appeal to one of the country’s most stylish SUVs,” said Nissan Australia managing director Adam Paterson.

“But style is nothing without substance, and the MY23 Juke delivers plenty of both.

“It’s a hugely exciting time for Nissan, as we’re in the middle of a brand-wide refresh that will give us one of the newest and most exciting vehicle lineups in the country. And the updated Juke is an important part of that story.”
