WATCH | New high-tech Nissan Juke goes into production

Nissan is marking the start of production of the new Juke at its Sunderland plant in the UK on October 10, following a R1.8-billion investment.

The Juke is powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder DIG-T turbocharged petrol engine which is also manufactured in Sunderland.

In terms of tech, the new Juke is the most-connected Nissan ever says the automaker with in-car NissanConnect available, a 20cm touch screen monitor, in-car WiFi hotspot and voice recognition.

The Japanese automaker's autonomous driving technology called Propilot, offers electronically assisted steering, acceleration, and braking, and is designed for highway use in single-lane traffic.
