This is the new Toyota Corolla Cross vs Nissan Juke comparison for 2023. This is not a like for like comparison as the Nissan Juke is a smaller SUV that does not have all round utility in mind while the Corolla Cross is arguably a more useful larger wagon. However their prices do cross over hence the comparison.
Toyota Corolla Cross vs Nissan Juke exterior design: No question that the Nissan Juke is a good looking SUV. In the right model grade it looks more expensive than it should be – until you look at the spec of course. Sure the latest Juke is not as ‘outrageous’ as the original model but the 2nd gen of these design never are. The Corolla Cross design is another anonymous Toyota as per their corporate design ethos.
Toyota Corolla Cross vs Nissan Juke interior: The Juke interior is a nice place to be in. It has a more refined design than the original and you can see the evolution. Order the right colour combination and it looks great but some plastics betray it’s entry level SUV status. Unfortunately it currently does not come with a fully digital instrument panel. It also reminds us of the CX-3 interior. The Corolla Cross has a typically nice Toyota style interior but it is quite spartan to look at regardless of model grade. The biggest problem with the Corolla Cross interior is that it does look or feel like its asking price.
Toyota Corolla Cross vs Nissan Juke engines and technology: The Nissan Juke is well equipped with all the safety systems you’d expect and including an ‘intelligent adaptive cruise control system’. The Bose stereo system with seat speakers a great gadget. The higher model grades only add a camera system as it’s very well quipped on the safety front. The biggest problem with the Nissan Juke is the engine. The single engine choice is the 1 litre turbo is fine for commuting short on power for anything else and fuel economy. In comparison the Corolla has the Hybrid option which adds performance and fuel economy the Juke can’t match. It’s all pretty much equal apart form the engines.
The conclusion and winner of the Toyota Corolla Cross vs Nissan Juke comparison is a draw. The Juke and Corolla Cross may have overlapping prices and can do the same thing but it really depends on what you value rather than anything wrong with either SUV. If the Juke looks better and go for it but it is smaller and not particularly fast. That said if city traffic is all you are using it for then this is perfect stylish SUV with a impressive sound system for listening to your favourite podcast when stuck in traffic. The Corolla Cross on the other hand is very boring to look at but has all the right stuff underneath which pushes it ahead. For us the top of the range Juke costs about the same price as the entry level Corolla Cross by the time on roads and extras are considered is the better choice than the entry level as the Toyota which is quite spartan on the gadget front at this grade. Any other Corolla Cross models are better but more expensive.
