Nissan Juke Successor Locked In For UK Production

The Nissan Juke is a bit of an odd-looking thing, but despite its cramped cabin and relatively high price it actually sells in reasonable numbers.

In Australia it commands more market share than the Renault Captur, Ford EcoSport, Suzuki S-Cross and Skoda Yeti, and lags only slightly behind the Jeep Compass. Its success, it seems, is inversely proportional to its utility.

And that's just in Australia. In Europe, where city streets are tight and vehicle taxes are high, the Juke sells like hotcakes. Little surprise, then, that a successor has now been confirmed for production.

In announcing a £100 million (AU$218.5 million) upgrade for its Sunderland assembly plant in the UK, Nissan revealed that the second-generation Juke will be built there at least into the start of the next decade.
