I have had three Jukes consecutively, all 1.6 automatics. I am now on the verge of buying a new automatic Juke. However, I notice that the engine is now only 1.00 L capacity and  with three cylinders. I was wondering how owners of the new Juke are experiencing the performance of this smaller engine. I would appreciate your comments.

Hi Geoff.....welcome to the Club

A lot of manufacturers are going for the small capacity 3 cylinder engines which produce rather impressive horsepower through clever design and modern materials.

All things considered you should be able to enjoy the drive equally the same as the 1.6 but please let us know how you feel about it once you have a few miles out of it.

Thanks for your comments Trevor. May ask you please, have you actually driven the new Juke?

For a very short distance on back roads so couldn't really experience it on a long term basis

I had the 1 litre engine in my last Juke. Its turbocharged so there is no loss of power. I now have a 1.6 Hybrid which is more cost effective especially around urban areas.
