According to an article by Autocar, a UK-based online publication, an all-new Nissan Juke is on the horizon with an unveiling set before the end of the year. In an interview with Alfonso Albaisa, Nissanâ€™s Global Head of Design, the next-gen crossover "is certainly coming soon", leading the publication to speculate that a global debut could take place at the Paris Motor Show in October.

In North America, the Juke was recently replaced with the all-new Kicks after sales of the vehicle started to wane. The Jukeâ€™s looks were extremely polarizing â€“ it had a loyal following of drivers who loved its unique lines and body composition, but there was also a large cohort of automotive enthusiasts that couldnâ€™t get behind the Juke.

As for the 2019 variant, Albaisa was quoted as saying that the second-generation Juke wonâ€™t resemble the last one. â€œIt doesnâ€™t look like the IMx or new Leaf, either. It's an urban meteor with a nasty attitude.â€

Speculators are suggesting that the new Juke will be based on the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance's 'V' platform, which already supports the Renault Captur and Nissan Micra. According to the article, the crossover is expected to eschew the naturally aspirated petrol engines that have accounted for much of its sales volume so far. Instead, the upcoming Juke will use the 898cc three-cylinder and 1197cc four-cylinder turbo motors found in the current Micra and Qashqai.Â

No word yet if the 2019 Juke will be released into the North American market. In the meantime, the 2018 Nissan Kicks remains a solid option for drivers wanting equal doses of style and performance. To schedule your test drive in one, contact our dealership in Seattle, Washington.
