Nissan Juke becomes exclusively electric: First images of the new generation that will revolutionize the design of subcompact SUVs
It's official! Nissan "threw down" the gauntlet (or, rather, the charging cable) yesterday and presented the first official images of the new 2027 Juke EV.
If the first generation from 2010 was considered “weird,” this one looks straight out of the future – or a cyberpunk movie. It’s clear that Nissan doesn’t want to go unnoticed in the transition to full electrification in Europe.
Here are the main confirmed details and some technical "spiciness" already circulating in the industry:
Radical Design: Goodbye, Round Shapes!
The biggest change is aesthetic. The new Juke completely abandons curved lines in favor of an origami style, strongly inspired by the Hyper Punk concept:
- Sharp Edges: The bodywork appears laser-sculpted, giving it an aggressive and very geometric look.
- Light signature: The headlights are divided into two levels – thin LED strips under the hood for daytime running lights and hexagonal optical blocks integrated into the bar.
- Visual contrast: Juke maintains the tradition of personalization, with the roof, hood and wheel arches (which are now rectangular) painted in contrasting black.
Platform and Technology
Although Nissan is still keeping the exact power figures secret, we already know the "foundation" on which the car stands:
- CMF-EV architecture: It's the same platform used for its bigger brother, the Ariya, and the new-generation Leaf. This means a lower center of gravity and much more generous interior space than previous generations (which were quite cramped in the back).
- Estimated batteries: Two battery variants are being circulated – a 52 kWh one for the city and a 75 kWh one for those who want to go on long journeys without "autonomy anxiety".
- Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): The Juke EV will be able to "feed back" energy to the grid or your home, turning the car into a giant battery on wheels.
Production and Availability
- Where is it made? The Juke EV remains "European" in origin, to be assembled at the plant in Sunderland, UK, where Nissan has invested billions to transform the location into an electric hub.
- When will we see it on the streets? First deliveries are scheduled for spring 2027.
Although the new model will be exclusively electric, it seems that Nissan will keep the current hybrid generation on sale for a transition period in certain markets, so as not to scare away those who are not yet ready to take the step towards the plug.
It seems that Juke remains true to its mission: you either love it at first sight, or you wonder what the designers had in their coffee. Which camp are you in?
