New Nissan Juke Hybrid
Nissan’s rapid shift towards electrification continues to gather momentum when the launch of the new Juke Hybrid, with an entry price of €34,100.
Nissan claimed the arrival was the next chapter in its ongoing charge towards an electrified future, following hot on the heels of the launch of the new Nissan Ariya 100 per cent electric crossover and Nissan Qashqai mild hybrid.
It says the new Juke Hybrid has rewritten the rules in its segment to deliver an EV-like drive experience. It starts in 100 per cent electric mode and can reach speeds of up to 55kph in pure EV mode, thanks to an advanced multi-modal hybrid powertrain which prioritises fuel efficiency, responsiveness and a harmonious drive.
While the system will automatically maximise EV usage, the Juke Hybrid is also equipped with a dedicated EV mode switch which can be used when drivers do not want to leave the engine running, such as in traffic jams.
The Juke Hybrid powertrain consists of a new generation, state-of-the-art combustion engine, specifically developed for working in a hybrid powertrain application. It produces 69kW (94hp ) and 148Nm of torque. The main electric motor produces 36kW (49hp ) and 205Nm of torque. The net result is a powertrain providing 25 per cent more power than the current petrol engine option, with a fuel consumption reduction up to 40 per cent in urban cycle, and up to 20 per cent over the combined cycle.
