The Nissan Juke will gain a new hybrid powertrain this summer, promising more responsive performance and lower emissions.
...
It pairs a 92bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine with a 48bhp electric motor for a total of 140bhp. Nissan claims an economy figure of 54mpg, while CO2 emissions are capped at 118g/km.
92bhp from a 1.6 petrol engine is a very poor output for such an engine size.
The hybrid powertrain is a result of Nissan's alliance with Renault. The Japanese firm supplies the engine and motor, while Renault provides the gearbox, high-voltage 15kW starter-generator and 1.2kWh water-cooled battery. It's capable of fully electric start-up by default.
Only a 1.2kWh battery but they've still had to water cool it?
The Juke Hybrid also gains a driving-mode selection button that can be used to switch it into 100% EV mode...
... but there's no indication in the article of the range in that mode.
The Juke Hybrid forms part of Nissan’s plans to electrify its entire model range by 2023. The petrol model currently starts from £19,200, but Nissan is yet to reveal pricing for the Hybrid.
...
We expect it to command a similar price to the closely related Renault Captur E-Tech Hybrid, from around £25,000.
... so not cheap then - competing with the low end of the Qashqai range - well maybe not - I typed that before looking up current Qashqai prices! They're more than I thought. Ignoring the low-spec Visia at £24,555 you now have to pay at least £27,155 to get a Qashqai (Acenta Premium) - and let's not forget that the top spec Tekna+ now costs £40,000 with two-tone paint.
