MPG, running costs & CO2 Rating

3.5 out of 5

The Nissan Juke might be bigger than before but certain versions are actually lighter than the old model. Along with more advanced engines, this means efficiency has improved. While the Juke was petrol-only until recently, the new Juke hybrid model has now joined the line-up and promises the fuel economy to match modern diesel engines.

Nissan Juke MPG & CO2

There's a 1.0-litre DIG-T turbocharged petrol engine on offer, with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed 'DCT' dual-clutch automatic transmission. Nissan claims it can return up to 48.7mpg, and we actually beat this during our test drive, at least according to the trip computer. CO2 emissions are from 132g/km for the manual and 137g/km for the automatic, resulting in an upper-tier BiK banding for company-car drivers. (VED) Road tax is charged at the standard rate.

The hybrid is more expensive to buy (although the difference is smaller on Nissan’s PCP finance deals), but promises a better fuel efficiency figure of 55.4mpg. CO2 emissions of 115g/km make it a better choice than the petrol engine for tax-conscious business drivers, but something like a Renault Captur E-Tech plug-in hybrid will still cost much less in tax. In terms of VED (road tax), the hybrid costs £10 per year less than the petrol engine.

Insurance groups

Insuring the Juke shouldn't be too costly because the entry-level trim starts in group 13 out of 50. This is similar to the Renault Captur, which spans groups from 11 to 16, while mid-range versions of the Ford Puma sit in group 14.

Warranty

Nissan's warranty lasts for three years or 60,000 miles, which is the same as those offered by Volkswagen, SEAT, Skoda and Ford, but disappointing next to the five years of cover offered by Hyundai, not to mention Kia's seven-year warranty and Toyota’s 10-year offer. Nissan’s warranty can be extended for an extra cost.

Servicing

The 1.0-litre petrol Nissan Juke will require servicing every 12,500 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Service plans are offered, providing customers with fixed-price servicing that's protected against inflation on parts and labour and should help owners budget for future costs.
