The Nissan Juke will continue to be offered in five trim levels – ST, ST+, ST-L, ST-L+, and Ti.

The boot, like row two, carves out decent enough space for the limited available real estate, offering a sizeable 422 litres – around twice that of Mazda CX-3 – in what’s more depth than length in luggage space.
It expands to handy 1305L with the rear seatbacks stowed, though you’ll be reaching for the tape measure before those overly ambitious trips to IKEA.

2023 Nissan Juke Interior
The Juke's cabin give a good impression. It feels solid and robust, both in the materials used, which largely avoid much in the way of cheap and flimsy plastics, and in the general ambience.
There’s a strong sport-crossover vibe that seems keen to distance itself from typical SUV-isms and it tried hard to feels special and more than a little reminiscent of Nissan’s sports car stock. The design has a certain maturity lacking in, say, the cutesy key rival Toyota Yaris Cross.
All Juke variants get different dash treatments and the conspicuous suede-like Alcantara spread across the dash and door trims does the requisite trick.
The Juke’s take on interior styling is a bit old-school, be it the design of the switches and buttons, the look of the instrumentation or the presentation of the infotainment system. For a model around a year young, it looks and feels a generation older than some other crossovers and SUVs, notably those from Korea.
Of course, whether the pint-sized Nissan feels modern enough or not is a matter of personal taste.
The richness up front is mirrored largely in row two. While many compact-segment offerings go cheap in the rear accommodation, the Juke ensures all passengers feel like they’re travelling in the same class.
It’s also surprisingly roomy, with just enough headroom given the high seat bases, which offer smaller occupants decent enough visibility to the outside world, though the window line is high and glass area is quite small.
It’s a four-adult prospect at a stretch, which is a favourable enough outcome for anything certifiably compact in size. The drub, though, is the lack of rear air vents – the sole USB outlet isn’t much consolation for rear occupants faced with a long journey.
2023 Nissan Juke Infotainment
The tech, too, isn’t quite daisy fresh, particularly the infotainment system’s navigation map display and the ordinary 360-degree camera feeds, which are grainy and distorted. It all works fine but lacks a bit of forward-thinking flash.
The eight-speaker Bose system (also fitted to the ST-L+) is part of the sweetener to stump up extra coin over the regular ST-L version and, well, it’s fine. We spent a while fiddling with sources and settings and its fairly bassy nature doesn’t really present the sort of clarity and fidelity of properly high-end systems.

Should you buy the 2023 Nissan Juke
Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.
It turns out the Nissan Juke is an easy compact crossover to like – if you find its nuggety sportiness is the key attraction. If you’re the type to keep the Sport mode activated and drive it regularly with vigour, it fits its mould well.
It packs a great engine and a neat chassis, feels solid and substantial, and certainly arrives with a more mature spin. That said, it’s certainly not the nicest, most resolved or well-rounded small SUV or crossover out there. And it’s far from the last word when it comes to new-school ambience and techy window dressing.
For the goodness that it does bring, we can’t help thinking that saving a few bucks by dropping down to the middle of the range, to the ST-L, is money more shrewdly spent.
