The Juke features seating for five (two in front, three in back). Where fitted, fog lamps are situated on a third level within the sump guard at the bottom. Below them, under the lower edges of an expansive, curved grille, the main headlamps are intended to be reminiscent of those fitted to rally cars during the 1960s and 1970s. Running lamps and indicators are mounted atop the front wings, their lenses visible from inside the cabin as an aid to maneuvering. The front end features a stacked array of lights. The sport motif continues inside with the red or grey-painted centre console bearing similarity to a motorcycle fuel tank. Locating the rear door handles within the window frame is a Nissan styling tradition, begun with the 1985 Nissan Pathfinder. A coupé-like appearance is achieved by the rear door handles being located near the C-pillars, within the window frame. Echoing a style first seen Nissan's high performance electric coupé concept shown at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, the glasshouse resembles a racing helmet visor. The car's profile is dominated by the prominent wheel arches and the body's high waistline which contrast with the slim side windows, which is a modern interpretation of " coke bottle styling" popular during the 1960s and 1970s. Ī rebadged version of the first-generation Juke was sold in China as the Infiniti ESQ. The Purwakarta plant ( NMI) in Indonesia assembled the Juke for the domestic market and Thailand with a local content of 40 percent, front-wheel-drive only. Both Sunderland and Oppama are suppliers of the all-wheel drive variant. The Sunderland plant ( NMUK) manufactures for the European market, Australia and New Zealand, while Nissan's facility in Oppama, Japan, produces the vehicle for all other countries. The Juke was designed at Nissan Design Europe in London and refined at Nissan's Design Centre in Japan. The name " juke" means to "dance or change directions demonstrating agility", and is also derived from the word " jukebox". The second generation marks the withdrawal of the model from most markets outside Europe and Australasia to make way for the Nissan Kicks.

The second-generation model was revealed for the European market in September 2019, offering larger dimensions by utilising the newer Renault–Nissan CMF-B platform.

Debuted as a production vehicle at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March and positioned below the C-segment Qashqai, it was introduced to North America at the 2010 New York International Auto Show to be sold for the 2011 model year. The Nissan Juke ( Japanese: 日産・ジューク, Hepburn: Nissan Jūku) is a subcompact crossover SUV ( B-segment) produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan since 2010.
