Crossover Nissan Juke Since the first generation (2010), it has captivated car enthusiasts with its non-standard design and compact dimensions, ideal for the city. But the main question that worries potential owners: How many things will fit in the trunk? The official figures - 255–354 liters - often raise doubts: is there enough space for a stroller, suitcases or shopping from IKEA?
In this article we will analyze the actual dimensions of the luggage compartment. Juke (including restyled versions F15 And F16), compare with competitors - Kia Stonic, Hyundai Kona And Renault Arkana — and we’ll reveal life hacks for increasing useful space. We’ll also answer the question why the trunk volume in technical specifications and in real life can differ by 20–30%.
Official data: Nissan Juke trunk volume by generation
The manufacturer declares the following figures for the luggage compartment:
- 📦 Nissan Juke F15 (2010–2019): 255 liters (standard) / 871 liters with the seats folded down.
- 🚗 Nissan Juke F16 (2019–present): 354 liters (standard) / 1,102 liters in van mode.
But there are nuances here. For example, volume is measured according to the standard VDA (German technique), which takes into account the space up to the level of the upper edge of the rear seat backrests. In reality, many owners note that when loaded to the ceiling in the trunk Juke F15 fits up to 300–320 liters, and in F16 - up to 400–420 liters. The difference arises from the body shape and the location of the wheel arches.
In addition, the dimensions of the luggage compartment depend on the configuration:
- 🔧 In basic versions, the floor is flat, without a “step” behind the rear axle.
- 🛠️ In top modifications (for example, Nissan Juke Nismo) there may be a recess for a spare wheel, reducing the usable space by 10–15 liters.
- 🔋 In hybrid versions (for example, Juke Hybrid) the battery is located under the floor, which reduces the depth of the trunk by 3–5 cm.
⚠️ Attention: In some European versions Nissan Juke F15 installed under the trunk floor compressor for air suspension (optional Chassis Package). This reduces the volume by 20–25 liters.
| Generation | Volume (liters), standard | Volume (liters), seats folded | Depth (cm) | Width(cm) | Height to shelf (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Juke F15 (2010–2019) | 255 | 871 | 75 | 98 (between arches) | 70 |
| Juke F15 (restyling 2014) | 255 | 871 | 75 | 100 (between arches) | 72 |
| Juke F16 (2019–present) | 354 | 1 102 | 85 | 102 (between arches) | 75 |
| Juke F16 Hybrid | 320 | 1 050 | 82 | 102 (between arches) | 73 |
- Up to 300 l - enough for the city
- 300–400 l - you need a reserve
- More than 400 l - I often transport cargo
- I care about shape, not volume
Real life tests: what fits in the trunk of a Juke?
To understand whether there is enough space for your needs, consider specific loading examples:
- 🧳 Suitcases: B Juke F16 fits 2 large suitcases (
75×50×30 cm) + backpack. IN F15 — only 1 large suitcase + bag. - 👶 Stroller: A compact cane stroller (for example, GB Pockit) fits into trunk F15 without folded seats. For full size stroller (Cybex Priam) you will have to fold down one rear seat.
- 🛒 Purchases from IKEA: B Juke F16 fits 2 bags of clothes + cabinet
Kallax(disassembled). B F15 — only 1 package + small tableLack. - 🎿 Sports equipment: Skis up to 160 cm long fit in the trunk when the rear seat is folded. Snowboard - only diagonally, with the risk of scratching the skin.
Important point: trunk shape at Juke not rectangular. Due to the rounded sides and tapering body, large boxes (for example, from a TV 55") may not fit, even if there is enough space in terms of volume. Owners recommend using soft bags instead of hard suitcases.
For clarity, here is a comparison with competitors:
| Model | Volume (l) | Benefits | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nissan Juke F16 | 354 | Deep trunk, flat floor | Narrow opening, high threshold |
| Kia Stonic | 352 | Low threshold, wide loading height | Less depth (70 cm) |
| Hyundai Kona | 374 | More volume, convenient shape | High floor due to battery location |
| Renault Arkana | 480 | Record class size | Long body, uncomfortable in the city |
If you need to transport long objects (for example, boards or sleds), Nissan Juke can be folded right rear seat only - this will save space for the rear passenger.
How to increase trunk space: 5 proven methods
Even if the standard volume is not enough, there are ways to optimize the space:
- Folding seats
60:40. B Juke F16 the rear sofa folds asymmetrically, which allows you to transport long loads (for example, a bicycle) and seat one passenger at the same time. - Grid organizer. Attaches to the backs of the front seats and allows you to place small items (bottles, umbrellas) without taking up space in the trunk.
- Roof rack. For Juke roof rails fit Thule or Hako with a load capacity of up to 75 kg. But remember: high load increases fuel consumption by 0.5–1 l/100 km.
- Trunk cover. Models with a waterproof bottom (eg WeatherTech) protect from dirt and allow you to load things up to the ceiling without the risk of staining the casing.
- Raised floor. A platform made of plywood or plastic that levels the floor above the wheel arches, adding 5–7 cm of usable height.
One of the most effective life hacks is use of vacuum bags for clothes. For example, 3 bulky jackets in their normal form take up half the trunk Juke F15, and in a vacuum bag - only 10–15 cm in height.
⚠️ Attention: When installing a raised floor, make sure that it does not block ISOFIX mountings (if they are included in your configuration). Otherwise, the child seat cannot be installed.
Remove unnecessary things (spare tire, tools)
Check the ISOFIX fastenings (if a child is riding)
Secure the load with straps or a net
Place a mat to protect against dirt
Check the operation of the rear windshield wiper (important for visibility)

Comparison with competitors: who won the practicality test?
To objectively evaluate the trunk Nissan Juke, conducted a comparative test with the main rivals in the class subcompact crossovers:
- 🏆 Leader in volume: Renault Arkana (480 l) - almost 130 l more than Juke F16. But its trunk is less deep, but wider.
- 🥈 Best Form: Hyundai Kona (374 l) - rectangular compartment without protruding arches, convenient for boxes.
- 🥉 Lowest threshold: Kia Stonic (352 L) - Loading heavy bags requires less effort.
- ⚠️ Outsider: Toyota C-HR (377 l) - despite the larger volume, it has an inconvenient shape with a high threshold and a narrow opening.
Interesting fact: in Nissan Juke F16 The trunk has become not only larger, but also more practical. The manufacturer increased the width between the wheel arches by 4 cm (from 98 to 102 cm), which made it possible to place standard tool boxes (45×35 cm) without turning.
Here's what the owners say in the reviews:
- 👍 "In Juke F16 the cart finally fits Leroy Merlin no folded seats!” (Alexey, Moscow).
- 👎 "In F15 It’s impossible to transport even a small refrigerator - the arches are in the way” (Olga, St. Petersburg).
- 🤷 “It’s enough for a family with a child, but only if you don’t take a lot of things on a trip” (Dmitry, Yekaterinburg).
Why is the trunk bigger in the Juke F16?
Engineers Nissan increased the wheelbase by 7.5 cm (from 2,510 to 2,585 mm) and moved the rear axle back. This made it possible to “stretch” the luggage compartment without changing the external dimensions of the body. In addition, in the hybrid version the battery is located under the front seats, and not in the trunk, like many competitors.
Trunk tuning: what can you do yourself?
If the standard trunk is not satisfactory, it can be upgraded. Here are some ideas:
- 🔧 Installing an organizer box. Suitable for storing small items (cables, first aid kit, compressor). For example, a box ARB 15 cm high reduces volume by 50 liters, but adds order.
- 🔩 Carrying the spare tire. B Juke F15 The spare wheel can be moved to the roof (in a special case) or completely replaced with repair kit (saves 20–25 liters).
- 🛠️ Homemade raised floor. A platform is cut out of plywood or plastic (1–1.5 cm thick) in the shape of the trunk. Attaches with Velcro or snaps.
- 🔌 Additional sockets. Installing a 12V socket in the trunk (for example, for a refrigerator) will cost 3–5 thousand rubles.
One of the popular tuning projects is installing a drawer (like in pickup trucks). For example, the system Decked allows you to divide the trunk into two levels: the lower one for tools, the upper one for cargo. The cost of such a solution is from 20 thousand rubles.
⚠️ Attention: When installing additional drawers or shelves, check that they do not overlap access to jack and wheel wrench. In an emergency this could be a problem.
The most budget-friendly way to increase space is to use soft bags instead of hard suitcases. They follow the shape of the trunk and allow you to load 15–20% more things.
Common Juke trunk problems and how to solve them
Owners Nissan Juke encounter several common luggage compartment problems:
- 🚪 Rear door stuck. In cold weather, the seal freezes to the body. Solution: treat with silicone grease or install lock heating (optional
Winter Package). - 💧 Water leaks. B Juke F15 Sometimes the taillight seal leaks and water accumulates under the mat. It is necessary to check the tightness and replace the seal (part number
285B0-JM00A). - 🔊 Creaks and knocks. The most common cause is loosening of the rear parcel shelf. Solution: tighten the bolts (key to
10 mm) or lay rubber gaskets. - 🔋 Battery low. If additional equipment (such as a subwoofer) is installed in the trunk, check fuse F30 (10A) in the block under the hood.
Another common complaint is difficulty securing the load. In basic versions Juke there are no standard rings for belts, so owners install additional fasteners (for example, Thule Tracker) or use mesh divider.
If it appears in the trunk smell of gasoline, this may indicate a malfunction adsorber (error code P0441). In this case, diagnostics are required at a service station, since the problem is related to the fuel vapor recovery system.
FAQ: Answers to frequently asked questions about the trunk of the Nissan Juke
🔹 Is it possible to transport a washing machine into the Juke F15?
In the trunk Juke F15 fits washing machine only disassembled (without drum) or top-loading models (e.g. Candy Aquamatic height up to 70 cm). For full size cars (85×60×60 cm) you will have to fold the back seat and secure the load with belts.
🔹 Why does the Juke F16 have a larger trunk than the F15?
The increase in volume is due to a change in the platform: the wheelbase has grown by 7.5 cm, and the rear axle has moved back. In addition, in the hybrid version the battery is moved under the front seats, freeing up space in the trunk.
🔹 What is the maximum weight that can be carried in the trunk of a Juke?
Maximum load on the trunk - 200 kg (for F15 And F16). In this case, the total weight of the vehicle should not exceed 1,640 kg (F15) or 1,710 kg (F16). Excess weight leads to overload of the rear axle and poor handling.
🔹 Is it possible to transport a bike without a roof rack in a Juke?
Yes, if you fold down the back seat and remove the front wheel of the bike. B Juke F16 fits a bike with a frame up to 58 cm (For example, Stels Navigator 500). Use a cover or cardboard to protect the interior.
🔹 Which mats are best to choose for the Juke trunk?
The best option is rubber mats with edges (For example, WeatherTech or Lloyd Mats). They protect against dirt and moisture, and also prevent the load from slipping. For Juke F16 fits article number WT-400351.
