Evolution of the Nissan Juke interior: from the first generation (J10) to restyling 2019

First generation Nissan Juke (body F15/J10, 2010–2019) immediately stood out among its competitors not only in appearance, but also in its interior. The designers were inspired by motorcycle elements: the center console with two “tanks” on the sides (in top versions painted in body color) became the trademark of the model. However, early versions were criticized for cheap plastics and a cramped rear row.

After restyling in 2014, the interior has undergone noticeable changes:

• 🔄 The multimedia system has been updated - instead of a monochrome display, a 5.8" touch screen with support NissanConnect.
• 🎨 New finishing options have appeared: fabric with red stitching in Visia, combination leather/alcantara in Acenta and full skin in Tekna.
• 🔧 Sound insulation has improved - the manufacturer has added additional layers of sound-absorbing materials in the doors and wheel arches.

Second generation (J11, since 2019) received a completely redesigned interior. Now it dominates here 8-inch touchscreen with support Apple CarPlay And Android Auto, digital instrument panel (optional) and premium materials. However, some owners note that Juke lost some of its “motorcycle” charm - the center console became more traditional.

Photos of the Nissan Juke interior: a detailed overview from different angles

To get a complete picture of the interior, official promotional photos are not enough. We collected real pictures of the interior Juke from owners and dealers, focusing on key areas:

Front panel and center console

Branded "motorcycle" console of the first generation (J10) with two round deflectors on the sides - the main highlight of the interior. In versions Nismo And N-Design it is painted in red or black gloss, which adds sportiness. In the second generation (J11) the console became more minimalistic, but backlighting appeared Ambient Lighting (optional).

Pay attention to the location of the climate control buttons - in J10 they are located under the screen, and in J11 moved to the bottom of the console. Many owners consider this solution less convenient, since they have to take their eyes off the road.

Seats and materials

Basic versions Visia And Acenta The first generation is equipped with fabric upholstery with a simple pattern. In the top Tekna And Nismo - leather with contrasting stitching (red, white or blue). In the second generation, even in the basic configuration, higher quality fabric with antibacterial impregnation is used.

Front seat backrests in Juke quite narrow, which can create discomfort for rear passengers on long trips. But the driver's seat has good lateral support - this will be appreciated by fans of dynamic driving.

How to check the quality of leather trim when purchasing?

Pay attention to the joints of the seams - if they are uneven or come apart, this is a sign of poor assembly or use. Also touch the leather on the curves of the seat: if it is worn or covered with microcracks, it means that the previous owner did not take care of the interior.

Rear row and trunk

Main disadvantage Juke - cramped back row. Headroom and legroom are limited, so adult passengers will only be comfortable on short distances. Trunk volume 251 liters (354 liters with seats folded) is also not encouraging - competitors seem to have Hyundai Kona or Toyota C-HR it's more spacious.

But in J11 a function has appeared Flexible Boot Space — The trunk floor can be adjusted in height, creating a flat area when the seats are folded. This is convenient for transporting large cargo.

Parameter	Nissan Juke J10 (2010–2019)	Nissan Juke J11 (from 2019)
Trunk volume (l)	251 (354 with seats folded)	251 (422 with seats folded)
Max. rear ceiling height (cm)	91	93
Rear sofa width (cm)	130	132
Door finishing materials	Hard plastic + fabric	Soft plastic + eco leather (in top)

Comparison of finishing materials: what to choose - leather, Alcantara or fabric?

The choice of upholstery material depends on budget, preferences and operating conditions. Let's look at the pros and cons of each option:

• 🧵 Fabric (basic versions Visia, Acenta): cheap to maintain, does not heat up in the sun, but quickly gets dirty and wears out. Suitable for daily use in the city.
• 🐄 Leather/eco-leather (configurations Tekna, N-Design): looks premium, easy to clean, but requires regular care (leather conditioner every 3 months). In summer it can be hot without ventilation.
• ✨ Alcantara + leather (optional for Nismo): the best option for tactile sensations and wear resistance. However, Alcantara is afraid of aggressive detergents and can wear out on the armrests over time.

If you choose used Juke, pay attention to the condition of the leather seats in the versions Tekna. Often previous owners skimp on care, and the leather cracks at the joints. Restoration will require professional dry cleaning and conditioning (cost from 5,000 rubles).

⚠️ Attention: In salons Juke The first generation with leather trim often encounters the problem of creaking front seats. This is due to wear on the guides and springs. Solved by replacing the adjustment mechanism (original art. 26510-JM00A, price ~12,000 rub. per pair).

Multimedia and ergonomics: what is convenient and what is annoying?

System NissanConnect in Juke has its own characteristics. In the first generation (J10) before restyling in 2014, a low-resolution monochrome display was installed, which was difficult to read in the sun. After the update, a 5.8-inch touch screen appeared, but many people call its interface outdated.

In the second generation (J11) multimedia has stepped forward: an 8-inch display with support Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, voice control and navigation with 3D maps. However, there are nuances:

• 🔊 Basic versions do not have an audio system Bose — the speakers are weak, especially at low frequencies.
• 📱 Wireless charging for smartphones is available only in top trim levels (Tekna).
• 🔄 The climate control buttons on the console are not illuminated—you have to feel them blindly at night.

The ergonomics of the driver's seat are generally successful: the steering wheel is adjustable for reach and tilt, and the pedals are conveniently located. But tall drivers may complain about a lack of knee room due to the compact dimensions Juke front panel is too close.

Practical solutions for owners: how to improve the Juke's interior?

Even in top trim levels Juke there is something to improve. Here are owner-tested upgrades that will make the interior more comfortable:

1. Noise insulation. In the first generation (J10) weak point - wheel arches and engine shield. Additional sound insulation (StP or Bimast) will reduce the noise level by 20–30%. Cost of materials: ~8,000 rub.
2. Interior lighting. B J11 there is an option Ambient Lighting, but in J10 she's not there. You can install an LED strip under the front panel (color of your choice) with control from a button or door sensor.
3. Trunk organizers. Due to the small volume of the trunk, separator nets or boxes are useful (Thule, Kamei), which will help to rationally use space.
4. Seat covers. To protect leather trim from wear, covers made of neoprene or eco-leather with perforations are suitable (for example, from Covercraft).

If you're annoyed by the cramped back row, you can replace the standard seats with ultra-thin (for example, from Recaro or Sparco). This will add 3–5 cm of legroom for rear passengers, but will cost 40,000–60,000 rubles. per set.
