New Nissan Juke explodes in to view (sort of)

A facelift for the Nissan Juke is being teased ahead of a reveal at the Geneva Motor Show with a single image showing the side of the new Juke in an explosion.

We’ve already seen a number of ‘teases’ for new cars due to debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next month, and this afternoon it’s the turn of Nissan to tease the 2014 Juke facelift with a completely uninformative teaser image.

The Nissan Juke – revealed four year ago at the Geneva Motor Show after a preview as the Nissan Qazana Concept the year before – brought Nissan’s funky compact crossover to the public’s attention and introduced a new ‘Ugly is Appealing’ look to mainstream motoring.

But four years is a long time in the car world, and many other have tried to grab a piece of the Juke’s market place, so it’s time to give it a refresh with a facelifted version heading for Geneva next month.

Nissan has released a single image of the Juke facelift (above) to start to ball rolling to a reveal, but as far as we can see nothing has changed in the Juke’s profile so we assume its tweaks will be to the front and back.

Nissan are promising even more striking design, improved efficiency and enhanced refinement for the 2014 Juke, so in addition to the cosmetic tweaks at the front and back expect engines that are a bit more frugal, more equipment and a more upmarket interior.

Let’s hope Nissan’s next tease for the new Juke (and there will be more) is a bit more informative.
