Nissan is equipping its compact coupé crossover Juke with a hybrid drive for the first time. The advanced system combines direct power delivery and an active driving experience with lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.Thanks to its multimodal hybrid drive, the Juke Hybrid combines efficiency, responsiveness and harmonious driving characteristics. Drivers and passengers will experience pure electric launch, smooth driveability in all conditions and excellent fuel economy. This combination is made possible thanks to the intelligent multimodal transmission, efficient brake energy regeneration and the high-performance battery.In developing the hybrid powertrain, the focus was on complementing and preserving the agile and dynamic character of the Juke that has made the coupe crossover a modern Nissan icon.

The electrification of the Nissan model range is progressing. The compact crossover Juke with a new hybrid drive can now be ordered at prices starting at 31,090 euros. The advanced electrified powertrain reduces emissions and fuel consumption while also impressing with driving pleasure and direct response.The internal combustion engine in the Juke was specially developed for use in a hybrid system. It delivers 69 kW (94 hp) and develops a maximum torque of 148 Nm. It is supported by an electric motor with 36 kW (49 hp) and a torque of 205 Nm. In addition, the system consists of a 15 kW starter generator, an inverter and a water-cooled 1.2 kWh battery. All in all, the powertrain offers 25 percent more power than the current petrol engine, while reducing fuel consumption by around 40 percent in city driving and up to 20 percent in mixed traffic (figures subject to homologation).The expected fuel consumption of the Juke Hybrid is 5.0 to 5.2 liters per 100 kilometers, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 114 to 117 grams per kilometer (depending on equipment; consumption and emission values are subject to homologation).
For its mid-lifecycle refresh, Nissan is reintroducing a yellow exterior colour option on its Juke urban crossover in response to customer demand, following its popularity on the first generation Juke.As well as the introduction of the new yellow, Nissan's designers and engineers have made significant changes to the Juke's interior to elevate the ambience of life-on-board, with a redesigned centre console and instrument panel. The interior also benefits from new materials, trim and upgraded fit and finish. And the car's connectivity has been updated with a larger touchscreen and additional features.And the mid-life upgrades also sees the introduction of an additional grade called N-Sport, which emphasises the Juke's dynamic qualities both on exterior and interior details.The re-introduction of a yellow exterior paint option in the Juke range is a direct consequence of customers who had loved the yellow when it was introduced on the first generation Juke asking for it. The new yellow is different in hue to the shade on the previous generation of Juke. Compared to the one offered on the previous Juke, the new one is slightly paler, giving a more modern and impactful look.When specified in the new N-Sport trim, the new yellow's impact is heightened by the contrast of the yellow with the black roof, wheels door mirrors, wheel arch inserts, grille and A- and B-pillars. The overall effect elevates the Juke's natural visual impact, with an added splash of swagger and attitude.
Nissan has started production of the Townstar EV. The all-electric variant of the new compact van is based on Allianz's CMF-C platform and is manufactured at the center of excellence for vans in Maubeuge, France.With the Townstar EV, Nissan is taking another important step towards realizing the Nissan Ambition 2030 and the company's goal of being carbon neutral by 2050. The model is coming to Europe this fall, building on the success of the Nissan e-NV200. Nissan leverages its experience in the electric light commercial vehicle (e-LCV) segment and has further expanded its strengths in the areas of performance, reliability and sustainability.The all-electric variant of the Townstar has an optimized powertrain with intelligent energy management and battery cooling. Thanks to its aerodynamic body elements and the associated efficiency, the Townstar can achieve a range of over 300 kilometers (according to WLTP) depending on the equipment line. The electric motor has an output of 90 kW/122 hp and develops 245 Nm of torque. The 45 kWh battery can be charged with AC (11 kW or 22 kW) or with DC via the CCS connector. The latter enables charging from 15 to 80 percent in just 37 minutes.The Townstar is characterized by a fresh and modern design in the current Nissan style. The tailor-made front apron features an intricate kumiko pattern that reflects the model's Japanese DNA and gives the vehicle a high-quality character.In the interior, customer satisfaction and ergonomics come first. More than 20 technologies, including a 10-inch digital instrument display and integrated connectivity services, make the Townstar EV the most advanced van in the brand's LCV portfolio.
