2023 Nissan Juke Hybrid launched
A petrol-electric hybrid powertrain will soon be available for the Nissan Juke crossover.
The set-up is based around a 1.6-litre combustion engine that produces 94 PS (92 bhp / 69 kW) plus 148 Nm (109 lb-ft) of peak torque. Also included are an electric motor which develops 49 PS (48 bhp / 36 kW) with 205 Nm (151 lb-ft), and a 15 kW high-voltage starter-generator.
Energy is stored in an under-floor liquid-cooled 1.2 kWh battery pack, while a regenerative braking system supplies charge. Unfortunately, there’s no plug-in facility.
Another key component is the innovative low-friction, multi-modal automatic transmission. Thanks to two ‘EV’ gears and four ‘ICE’ gears, starts are always fully electric and speeds of up to 34 mph (55 km/h) can be achieved in pure-electric mode.
In fact, Nissan reckons that 80 percent of urban journeys should be possible without needing to use the combustion engine, reducing fuel consumption by 40 percent.
Efficiency on the more representative combined cycle is perhaps slightly disappointing, though. Provisionally, its economy and CO2 emissions figures are 54.0 mpg (5.2 l/100km) and 118 g/km respectively.
Deliveries of the new Juke Hybrid are due to begin this summer. Prices haven’t been revealed, yet.
