The upcoming Nissan Juke is scheduled to debut as an all-electric version with a revamped design inspired by the striking Hyper Punk concept.

Nissan’s goal is for the next-generation Juke EV to be priced similarly to the current petrol-powered model, which starts at around £21,000. However, the company acknowledges that this is a challenging target.

Nissan has not provided a specific timeframe for the launch of the next Juke, allowing some flexibility due to the varying adoption rates of electric cars in different markets. 

The current model was introduced in 2019, suggesting that a successor would typically be expected around 2027.

It is manufactured at Nissan’s Sunderland facility, with the company investing up to £1.19bn to develop, engineer, and produce the next-generation EV variants of the Juke and Qashqai in the UK. The Nissan Leaf successor will also be manufactured in Sunderland.

The Hyper Punk concept was initially showcased at this year’s Tokyo motor show, offering a glimpse into the future design direction for Nissan’s upcoming electric-only vehicles. It is described as a blend of virtual and physical features, characterized by “functional and styling” elements.

Technical details

Nissan has not yet disclosed specific details about the vehicle. However, all three upcoming cars built in Sunderland are expected to utilize the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance CMF-EV platform, a tailored electric architecture designed for C- and D-segment vehicles.

This suggests the Juke might potentially increase in size, as the current model utilizes the CMF-B platform designed for smaller B-segment cars. 

The Alliance also has a CMF-BEV platform that will underpin the next-generation Nissan Micra, which will be produced in France along with the Renault 4 and Renault 5.

Despite sharing a platform and being developed and built alongside each other, the Juke, Qashqai, and Leaf will each maintain distinct characteristics. Nissan European research and development chief David Moss stated that they would have different wheelbases, ensuring their individual identities.
