For its mid-lifecycle refresh, Nissan is reintroducing a yellow exterior colour option on its Juke urban crossover in response to customer demand, following its popularity on the first generation Juke.As well as the introduction of the new yellow, Nissan's designers and engineers have made significant changes to the Juke's interior to elevate the ambience of life-on-board, with a redesigned centre console and instrument panel. The interior also benefits from new materials, trim and upgraded fit and finish. And the car's connectivity has been updated with a larger touchscreen and additional features.And the mid-life upgrades also sees the introduction of an additional grade called N-Sport, which emphasises the Juke's dynamic qualities both on exterior and interior details.The re-introduction of a yellow exterior paint option in the Juke range is a direct consequence of customers who had loved the yellow when it was introduced on the first generation Juke asking for it. The new yellow is different in hue to the shade on the previous generation of Juke. Compared to the one offered on the previous Juke, the new one is slightly paler, giving a more modern and impactful look.When specified in the new N-Sport trim, the new yellow's impact is heightened by the contrast of the yellow with the black roof, wheels door mirrors, wheel arch inserts, grille and A- and B-pillars. The overall effect elevates the Juke's natural visual impact, with an added splash of swagger and attitude.
A significant contribution to the increased attractiveness of the Yaris is made by the further developed full hybrid drive, which contributes to a more active and exciting driving experience. In addition to the proven drive with 116 hp, Toyota also offers the 1.5-liter hybrid in a second performance variant with 130 hp.This is due to the use of the new transaxle transmission, which comes from Toyota's current fifth hybrid generation. In addition, a larger and more powerful electric motor generator is used. Together with the revised software of the control unit (PCU), the total output of the 1.5-liter system increases by twelve percent from 85 kW/116 hp to 96 kW/130 hp. The torque also increases significantly across the entire speed range: by 30 percent from 141 Nm to 185 Nm.This leads to noticeably faster acceleration. Not only was the time for the sprint from zero to 100 km/h reduced by half a second to 9.2 seconds, the acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h also improved by almost half a second to 7.5 seconds This particularly pays off when overtaking. At the same time, CO2 emissions have only increased slightly; The Yaris remains best in class as a 130 hp hybrid with 95 to 96 g/km. The 116 hp version boasts even lower CO2 emissions of 87 to 91 g/km.
