The Nissan Juke helped kick off the popularity of small SUVs, and now the segment is packed with worthy alternatives. Here are the best cars similar to the Nissan Juke worth considering.

Best Nissan Juke Alternatives

Ford Puma

Keen drivers after a small SUV will gravitate towards the Ford Puma, whose agility and deftness are second-to-none in this class. Its clever underfloor “Megabox” storage adds practicality the Juke can’t match.

Renault Captur

The Renault Captur ticks a lot of boxes if the Juke’s eye-catching looks appeal to you, offering a spacious boot of 422 litres, sliding rear seats, and a contrast-coloured roof for extra style.

Volkswagen T-Cross

The T-Cross comes with sliding seats as standard, and its squarer boot entry makes loading easier, though its 385 litres of boot space falls short of the Juke’s 422 litres.

Toyota C-HR

For performance and running costs especially, the C-HR is one of the strongest alternatives to the Juke, particularly in hybrid form, which offers excellent fuel economy and Toyota’s renowned reliability.

Dacia Duster

If you’re on a tighter budget, the Dacia Duster is considerably cheaper than the Juke and any of its rivals, though it comes with a compromise in equipment and quality.
