The Nissan Juke is one of the most distinctive and popular small SUVs on the market. Since its debut in 2010, it has sold over 1.5 million units worldwide, thanks to its quirky design, fun driving dynamics, and affordable price. But the competition in this segment is fierce, and the Nissan Juke needs to keep up with the latest trends and technologies. That’s why Nissan has given it a major update for 2024, adding a bigger infotainment screen, an improved interior, a new sporty-looking N-Sport trim, and a bright yellow color option. Here’s what you need to know about the 2024 Nissan Juke.
Bigger and Better Infotainment System
The new infotainment system is one of the most noticeable changes in the 2024 Nissan Juke. The previous 8.0-inch touchscreen has been replaced by a larger and higher-quality 12.3-inch display, which is angled more toward the driver for better visibility and usability. The new screen also features movable widgets, which allow users to customize the home screen and access frequently used functions more quickly. The system also supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as wireless phone charging. Additionally, the screen can play videos from a USB device when the car is parked, making it a great entertainment option for passengers.
The infotainment system is not the only thing that has been upgraded in the 2024 Juke. The voice recognition system has also been improved, thanks to a new capability to understand natural language. This means the system can recognize more commands and cope with hesitant speech, making it easier for drivers to interact with the car using voice control. For example, drivers can say things like “I’m cold” or “I need gas” and the system will adjust the climate control or show the nearest gas stations.
Improved Interior Quality and Comfort
The 2024 Nissan Juke also benefits from improved interior quality and comfort. The seats have been upgraded with new fabrics, quilted effect inserts on Tekna trim, and a redesigned armrest with clips for three credit cards. The glove compartment is also bigger, offering more storage space. The interior also features more yellow accents, especially on the N-Sport trim, which adds yellow stitching, piping, and inserts to the seats, dashboard, and door panels.
The 2024 Juke also offers more convenience and safety features, such as a configurable 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, which can switch between two main layouts: a simple two-dial setup or a 3D-effect view with space to display a sat-nav map and other information. The display settings can be controlled from the steering wheel, which also features new buttons for the adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist systems. The Juke also comes with a range of driver assistance systems, such as blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, and intelligent emergency braking.
