Nissan Juke SUV - Reliability & safety

Nissan has a good reputation for reliability, scoring well in most areas for customer satisfaction, but we'd prefer its cars to be offered with a longer warranty as standard. Safety equipment is strong, even for the entry-level Visia model.

Nissan Juke reliability

Nissan came in 15th place out of 29 manufacturers in our 2022 Driver Power survey, with just over 20% of owners reporting a fault within the first year. The Juke itself was ranked 49th out of the top 75 models in the survey, with a slightly below-average score for reliability and build quality. Interestingly, owners praised its interior and comfort most highly, but weren’t bowled over by its value for money.

Safety

Independent crash-testing by Euro NCAP found the Nissan Juke to be very safe in a collision. It was awarded five stars, with an impressive 94% for adult occupant protection and 85% in the child occupant category.

Safety features including autonomous emergency braking and lane-keeping assist are all fitted as standard, but Nissan also offers an Advanced Safety Shield Pack, which comes as standard with manual Tekna trim levels, adding a 360-degree camera view, adaptive cruise control, driver fatigue warnings, blind-spot intervention and rear cross-traffic alerts. There's also a semi-autonomous ProPilot Pack for Tekna models with an automatic gearbox, that can assist with steering, acceleration and braking on the motorway and in congestion at low speeds.
