2027 Nissan Juke is out – UK-built EV based on Leaf

2027 Nissan Juke is out – UK-built EV based on Leaf

You’re looking at the third-gen Nissan Juke and not a piece of crumpled paper. This Sunderland, UK-built EV, based on the CMF-EV platform, is earmarked for a spring 2027 launch.

Unveiled at Nissan’s Vision Event at the company’s global HQ in Japan, the new Juke will share much of its underpinnings with the third-gen Leaf (including the latter’s vehicle-to-grid tech), and is part of an expanded European EV line-up that includes the Leaf, the new Micra (also an EV now), the Ariya and the Townstar LCV, “as well as a new A-segment EV to come.”

Crucially, Nissan says the Juke HEV “will remain an important part of the line-up”, indicating that the second-gen hybrid will soldier on alongside the third-gen EV. Let’s look at the Leaf for an idea of its powertrains – one-motor FWD, 177/218 PS, 345/355 Nm of torque, 52/75 kWh battery, 436/604 km WLTP, 150 kW DC, 10-80% in 35 minutes.

The Juke has always been a shocker in terms of design (the second gen, perhaps less so, at least to these eyes) but Nissan says some 1.5 million examples have found homes on the Continent since its 2010 birth, making it second only to the Qashqai in Nissan’s European sales books. Once upon a time there was a Juke with a 600 hp GT-R Nismo engine, but we guess those days are well and truly over.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.
