Nissan has unveiled the all-new, all-electric Juke model at its Vision event at the company’s global headquarters in Japan. It says the model marks a major step forward in its electrification strategy in Europe.

The all-electric Juke joins a growing European EV line-up including the new Micra, third-generation Leaf, Ariya crossover and Townstar LCV, as well as a ‘new A-segment EV to come’. The Juke EV will join the third-generation Leaf in offering Vehicle-to-Grid technology, supporting the integration of EVs into the wider energy ecosystem.

“Europe is central to Nissan’s electrification strategy, and we remain firmly committed to a fully electric future,” said Massimiliano Messina, Chairman, Nissan AMIEO. “With a rapidly expanding EV line-up, we are bringing greater choice and innovation to every segment, powered by our strong design, engineering and manufacturing footprint in the region. Together, this next generation of vehicles will accelerate our transition to zero-emission mobility.”

Sunderland manufacturing

The new electric Juke will be built at Nissan’s Sunderland Plant in the UK, reinforcing the site’s central role in the company’s global EV strategy. Already home to Leaf and with the first trial phase of Juke production starting in the coming weeks, Sunderland Plant remains the cornerstone of Nissan’s electrified manufacturing footprint in Europe.

The commitment is supported by Nissan’s broader regional capabilities, including its design, engineering and development network across the UK, Spain and Germany. Together, these operations underline Nissan’s long-term investment in Europe as both a production and innovation hub – designing, engineering and manufacturing vehicles in Europe, for European customers.

“Juke has always stood for bold design and a willingness to challenge convention. With this third generation, we are bringing that spirit into the electric age,” said Clíodhna Lyons, Region Vice President, Product, Brand & Marketing Strategy, Nissan AMIEO. “As our first fully electric Juke, it will help us reach new customers while expanding choice across our electrified range.”

Unveiled at Nissan Vision Event

The third-generation Juke made its global debut at Nissan’s Vision Event in Japan, where the company is presenting its long-term direction, product roadmap and technology innovations to global media, stakeholders and employees.

The new Juke will be launched in spring 2027.
