The Sunderland-built Nissan Juke is getting a facelift.

The car giant has unveiled a new look for its popular compact crossover, with a number of new features and design upgrades to both the exterior and interior of the car, which made its public debut on the Nissan stand at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Juke is available in four grades – Visia, Acenta, BOSE Personal Edition and Tekna.

The changes for the car’s front end include a new dark chrome V-motion grille, dark headlamp interior and dark turn indicators on the door mirrors.

LED fog lamps are now standard from Acenta grade.

Two new 16in alloy wheel designs have been added to the Juke range, also from Acenta grade. The 18in wheels on Tekna grade can be personalis­ed with coloured inserts.

Coloured body parts, in- cluding front and rear bumper finishers, doors side sills and mirror caps, are also available through the personalis­ation program.

The BOSE sound system delivers an immersive 360° listening experience through BOSE digital signal processing and six high-performanc­e speakers, including two UltraNearf­ield speakers built into the driver’s seat head rest as standard from the new BOSE Personal Edition grade.

Ken Ramirez, senior vice-president, sales and marketing, Nissan Europe, commented: “The Nissan Juke is the pioneer of the B-segment crossover and is today one of our most establishe­d and much-loved models. These new features further extend customer choice, enhancing the distinctiv­e design for which Juke is best known.”

The upgraded Nissan Juke is on sale in the UK from May.

“It is one of our most establishe­d and much-loved models” KEN RAMIREZ
