Yellow there! 2024 Nissan Juke revealed ahead of Australian launch: Mazda CX-3, Toyota Yaris Cross and Kia Stonic rival's update headlined by bright new colour and big multimedia upgrade

Nissan has just shown off the latest version of its Juke small SUV, which sees a new interior, fresh tech and the return of a colour from the original model that's apparently back by popular demand ... yes, yellow.

It's a different hue of yellow to the Sunlight yellow metallic of the first-generation Juke from 2014, but Nissan reckons it's a modern take on a colour that people have been asking for since the second-gen model came out in 2020.

"When we first introduced the second generation of Juke, the question we were asked most frequently was: ‘will there be a yellow one?'", Region Vice President, Product Strategy and Pricing, Nissan AMIEO region Arnaud Charpentier said.

"With such clear demand from our passionate Juke customers, we had to listen. We took the opportunity part way through Juke's lifecycle to make some other changes which would improve the comfort, convenience and overall life-on-board ambience for drivers and passengers", he added.

If yellow isn't your colour, then you might be relieved to know that a new metallic black is available too, along with new wheel designs.

Of course, it's more than just colours that are new in this update. The interior of the Juke has been upgraded with a larger 12.3-inch landscape media screen which has better functionality. Wireless Apple CarPlay returns on the Juke, but now Android Auto is also wireless. There is a fully digital 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster as well, wireless phone charging, and type A and C USB ports for rear passengers.

Safety has been improved with the addition of lane departure warning as standard.

The engine line-up stays the same and for Australia that means a continuation of the 84kW/180Nm three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine and front-wheel drive.

Full Australian specifications and pricing are yet to be announced by Nissan's local arm, but the updated Juke will be in the country towards the end of this year.

"We're very excited by the updated Juke which has just been unveiled," a Nissan Australia spokesperson told CarsGuide.

"We anticipate arrivals at the end of 2024. Final Australian specification will be confirmed closer to the launch date."

The interior of the Juke has been upgraded with a larger 12.3-inch landscape media screen which has better functionality.

Currently the Juke is available in five grades, ranging from the entry-level ST for a list price of $28,390, up to the Ti for $36,890.

All grades currently come standard with alloys wheels, LED headlights, with higher grades gaining leather upholstery and a Bose sound system.

Rivals to the Juke include the sales-leading Mazda CX-3, Toyota Yaris Cross and Kia Stonic.
