Just like you never asked for, but here you go.

I’ll start by saying it’s a good looking car, but not a good looking Juke. Ugly the Juke has to be, to be a Juke. It still retains some of the ugly, but significantly tones down.

From the side it’s still very Juke, but lacking the Gators on the hood.

Really 19" wheels, have fun when people complain about the ride quality Nissan.

The front is definitely more refined, & mature. Not very Juke of it.

The rear is a let down, it looks like every other car on the road. Not very Juke.

Not to the interior, it’s busy. Too much going on. WHY THE PIANO BLACK.

This part lets me down. The drivetrain options. To start it will only offer a 1L 3 cylinder turbo option with 115hp, meh. Atleast a 1.3L turbo is coming after a few model years. It’s better for the transmission options. For once Nissan used common sense & got rid of the trash CVT in favor of the 7dct. I’m sure it’s better then the CVT, but N issan being N issan will find a way to to make the DCT terrible. The great news is they still offer a manual.

It’s a good car, but not a good Juke.

In the Juke groups everyone complained about the CVT having problems.

So can we still make fun of it and its owners? Because that’s all that really matters.

I kind of like it though. And the hp figure is probably good for the European market.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > The Crazy Kanuck; RIP Oppositelock

I love the front end, as much as I hate the back. It’s better than the Kicks so that# good.

The DCT already is terrible and has no place on a non-performance daily driver

Wow that’s actually pretty handsome. They took the Juke and de-uglified, and that’s a-ok in my book if they retained the fun. A 1.0L engine does not sound fun, though. Is it coming to the US? Hopefully yes and they give it some real muscle for that market.

An even sleeker Renault version would be

I think they messed up by ditching the “fin”-type lights/turn signals, those were distinctively Juke. Just having an ugly too-tall hood doesn’ t make up for it.
