Eight years after the funky crossover shocked the market, the one millionth Nissan Juke has rolled off the line at the Sunderland plant in the UK. On average, a new Juke is built at the plant every 105 seconds. The milestone unit was a Tekna grade car in Vivid Blue, the most recent colour added to the range.
“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,” said Kevin Fitzpatrick, senior VP of manufacturing, supply chain management and purchasing at Nissan Europe.
“It’s terrific to see that the 2018 model, with all its improvements and personalisation options, is as popular as the version that rolled off the line for the first time in 2010,” he added.
The Juke was the second crossover to be built at Sunderland, following the Qashqai in 2006. The pioneering Qashqai has been even more successful, with over three million now been built in the UK factory. The other models to have hit seven figures are the Micra (2.4m) and Primera (1.5m).
The one million figure includes the Juke Nismo version that went into production in 2012. The B-SUV remains a big seller for Nissan, hitting sales of 95,000 last year in Europe. The Juke is officially sold in Thailand and Indonesia, but grey is the only way for Malaysians to stand out in one.

No point producing 1 million when there is no cars allocated for Malaysian market.
Smaller & less competent than Cx3. Next!
Actually not only sold in Thailand and Indonesia. Its also sold in the Philippines and Singapore. We are the only major South East Asian market that doesn’t have this beauty
Malaysia mana juke?
Malaysia juke not coming, Tchong?
TAKE NOTE that NISSAN have HUGE PROBLEMS. There are many REASONS of why Nissan have HUGE PROBLEMS. Firstly, Nissan carmakers have CHEATED EMISSION REGULATORS with DEFEAT DEVICES for ALL NISSAN MODELS. Secondly, There are also having MAJOR PROBLEMS for Nissan in which Nissan as a carmaker DIDN’T MEASURE PROPERLY for FUEL EFFICIENCY RATING (FUEL ECONOMY) for ALL NISSAN MODELS which IS MOST LIKELY to AFFECT to the ENVIROMENT. Now, Nissan as a carmaker is becoming NISSAN SCANDAL
Pity ETCM. They want to bring their top sellers Qashai and Juke but MITI always rejects their applcations.
This is because MITI must ensure GLC DRB sells their Honda HRV/CRV and UMW sells their models without any competition.
Qashai is the best selling SUV in Europe. If come here, it will wipe out CRV completely
Guess who in MITI now? Oh wai….
Different segment la
Sales volumes speaks… Unfortunately local here tak ada. This thing came way before HRV and Nissan had a niche product but TC brought in 1 time only for test drive in Nissan PJ back in around 2010++ and I wrote my name on that list and you never got back to me.
OMG. This 8 years old Nissan Juke still selling like Hot Cakes. Many 8 yo vehicles would have look dated by now.
Cant get over how ridiculously ugly this car is. But because its rare in Msia the owners damnnn proud of themselves LOL
