Nissan Juke receives efficiency boost

Nissan has fitted revised gear ratios to selected Juke models in order to boost fuel economy and lower emissions.

The 1.6-litre petrol model is now capable of 47.1mpg - an improvement of 2.3mpg. Emitting 139g/km of CO2 the revised model offers a £15 reduction in annual Road Tax costs. Nissan estimate these changes will save owners an average of £232 over three years.

The new 1.5-litre diesel model jumps from 55.4mpg to 57.6mpg and emissions are reduced to 129g/km. By dropping a tax band, the revised diesel model now commands a lower, £95 annual tax bill. The average saving over for three years is estimated at £172.

Nissan has introduced the improvements in efficiency at no extra cost, with prices starting at £13,295 for the Visia 1.6 petrol or £14,645 for the Visia 1.5 diesel.
