Nissan Unveils Electric Third-Gen Juke for 2027

Nissan unveiled the third-generation Juke crossover on Wednesday at its Vision event in Japan, marking the model's debut as an electric vehicle exclusive. The bold redesign, produced at the company's Sunderland plant in the United Kingdom, is scheduled for launch in Europe in spring 2027.

The new Juke builds on the quirky styling that has defined the subcompact crossover since its 2010 introduction, when it quickly became Nissan's second-best seller in Europe after the Qashqai. Over 1.5 million units have been sold in the region, with the second generation arriving in 2019. This latest iteration draws inspiration from the 2024 Hyper Punk concept, featuring sharp, angular lines, a large blacked-out front grille, intricate LED headlights and taillights, and hidden rear door handles integrated into the C-pillars for a coupe-like profile. The exterior reveal showcased a vibrant green finish with jagged wheel arches and pixelated wheel designs, emphasizing its standout presence in a segment often filled with smoother shapes.

Built on Nissan's CMFEV platform, shared with models like the Leaf and Ariya, the Juke will offer electric powertrains similar to those in the updated Leaf....
