The Nissan Juke is a car that, when it was launched, had virtually no competitors. Now, after ten years and over a million sold, there are more than 20 "B-segment" SUVs on the market. Cars like the Renault Captur, VW T-Cross, Seat Arona, Mazda CX-3, DS 3 Crossback and Citroen C3 Aircross to name but six. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and all that Just like it did with the Qashqai a couple of years before and the Leaf at around the same time, Nissan had invented a new kind of car that nobody knew they wanted: the compact crossover. A high-rise, less practical supermini with more headlights than you have hairs on your head. And it reaped the rewards, especially in the UK, where the Juke is the company"s second best-selling model after the Qashqai. It routinely appears on best-seller lists. We buy a third of all Jukes built, for heaven"s sake. And where exactly are they built? Oh yeah, right here in the UK, up north in Sunderland.
