A more economical engine option has been made available for the Nissan Juke.
The revised 1.5-litre dCi diesel offers CO2 emissions of 109g/km and a claimed average economy of 67.3mpg, a notable improvement over the previous unit, which delivered 124g/km of CO2 and 58.6mpg.
A range of technical changes made to the latest engine generation make it the most efficient in the Juke line-up. These changes include revised piezo-electrical fuel-injection nozzles, which provide a better spray pattern, and the introduction of a closed-loop exhaust gas recycling system.
Nissan says that since launching the Juke in 2010 that more than a third of total sales have been powered by the last generation of the 1.5-litre dCi.
The new diesel unit also features Nissan’s start-stop system. A dynamic control system, which allows the driver to choose from three different engine settings, also helps boost fuel efficiency.
The new engine will be available across all Juke models, excluding the Nismo.

Efficiency In Diesel Engine
I think Nissan should be
I think Nissan should be doing something about the petrol engines chosen by nearly two thirds of Juke buyers. Many of these are bought for predominantly urban use, so petrol is the sensible choice, but the low gearing and poor fuel consumption is a frequent subject of discussion on owners forums.
Renault turbo
I couldn't agree more. Since this 1.5 is made by Renault, I wonder why doesn't Nissan given its Juke Renault's 1.2 petrol turbo engine? I've heard good things about its on-raod performance and efficiency.
Suzuki
I think it is a joint venture between Nissan India and Suzuki India, remember the Pixo and Alto
