One millionth Juke rolls off Nissan's Sunderland plant

On average, a brand new Juke is built at Nissan's Sunderland plant in the U.K. every 105 seconds.

The one millionth Juke was a Tekna grade in Vivid Blue, the most recent colour to be added to the range.

Kevin Fitzpatrick, Senior Vice President Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management and Purchasing, Nissan Europe, said, "Reaching the one million milestone is a fantastic achievement for any model. Eight years ago we had never seen anything like the Juke before - it created an entirely new segment and brought a distinctive never-seen-before look to the market."

"Fast forward to today and we have one million customers and Juke remains the segment leader," he added.

The Juke was the second crossover to be built at the plant, following the pioneering Qashqai, which went into production in 2006 and began Nissan's leadership of the crossover market. More than three million Qashqais have now been built in Sunderland, following the Micra and Primera as models to have hit seven figures at the plant. The Juke remains a huge sales success, hitting sales of 95,000 in 2017 in Europe.

More premium features on the latest model include a striking new dark chrome V-motion grille, dark headlamp interior and dark turn indicators on the door mirrors. LED fog lamps are now standard for the Acenta grade.

The interior has complementary personalisation options, in Energy Orange and Power Blue, as well as black faux-leather seats, arm rest and meter hood with coloured double stitching.

The Juke is available with a BOSE Personal sound system, which delivers a high-quality and immersive 360-degree listening experience through speakers built into the driver's head rest. The Juke also features innovative technology including Nissan's Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning.
