Reliability & safety Rating

4.5 out of 5

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 model. The Juke came in 28th place out of the top 50 cars in the 2024 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, with buyers fond of its interior, safety features and infotainment.

Nissan Juke reliability

Nissan as a brand came in 15th place out of 32 manufacturers in 2024, beating its 19th-place finish in 2023. A much lower-than-average 18% of Nissan owners reported a fault within the first year. Its placing puts it behind rivals Toyota (8th), Kia (third), but ahead of Hyundai (17th).

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.
