NISSAN JUKE

Nissan wants people to like the Juke from the inside as well as from the outside

- JAMES ATTWOOD

There may be bigger questions facing our society today than: 'Will there be a yellow Nissan Juke again?' For instance, how should we address the challenges posed by AI? What actions are needed to combat global warming? Is it acceptable to put pineapple on a pizza? But that first question has been among the most frequently asked of Nissan since it introduced the Mk2 Juke in 2021.

Rejoice, then, because Iconic Yellow is one of three paint options added as part of this mid-life facelift. It's inspired by Juke Yellow, added at the Mk1 Juke's mid-life facelift, but is substantially brighter. Indeed, it looks like Nissan's designers were let loose with highlighter pens.

All this fanfare about paint may be because, a few new alloy wheel options aside, it's the only exterior styling change that Nissan has made here. There is a reason for that, though: the brand's research shows that design remains the top reason for people buying a Juke. So this update instead addresses areas that might then put them off: primarily comfort and technology.
