Nissan Juke: UK price & details

The Nissan Juke starts at just £12,795 in the UK The Nissan Juke started life as the Nissan Qazana at Geneva in 2009, but became the Nissan Juke – and the replacement for the Nissan Micra at Nissan’s Sunderland plant – when it got signed off for production and finally revealed in production form at the Geneva Motor Show 2010. And now it’s time for the UK details. And they’re a bit of a surprise.

Luxgen Luxgen7 MPV

Luxgen, Taiwan's first automotive brand, has revealed its first vehicle: the Luxgen7 MPV. With a more curvaceous aesthetic than what is typical of family haulers, the Luxgen7 MPV also features a high level of functionality across three rows of seats. Created under the direction of James Shyr, former Director of Design of GM's Global Design Leadership Team at PATAC, the new MPV has been specifically created not to look like a box.

Hyundai i30 SR – a taste of Sporty Hyundai

Hyundai in Australia has revealed the Hyundai i30 SR, an i30 with a 2.0 litre petrol engine and a sportier edge. Hyundai in the UK defaults to its diesel engine offerings across almost its entire range, with the Golf challenging i30 offering only a 1.4 litre petrol with a very modest 98bhp apart from the diesel offerings. But Hyundai in Australia marches to its own beat and has rather bigger ambitions for the brand than Hyundai exhibit in most of the rest of the world, with thoughts about a Hyundai ‘Genesis’ luxury brand (although that seems to have come to nought so far) and their very own ‘Sporty’ take for the Hyundai range in the ‘SR’ model.
