Comparison: Ground clearance Nissan Juke vs. competitors 2024

When it comes to conquests of the urban jungle, boasting a lofty vantage point is akin to being king of the castle. And in this royal rumble of road clearance, the Nissan Juke, a spunky little upstart, has strutted onto the scene with the kind of swagger that makes a corgi look like a great dane. We're about to delve into the wondrous world of the Juke's ground clearance—the make-or-break stat for dodging those bothersome kerbs that pop out of nowhere.

Nissan Juke - How has the ground clearance changed over the generations?

Surprise, surprise, the ground clearance of the Nissan Juke has fiercely clung to the mighty height of 180mm across all its generations—from the plucky 2010 model to the facelifted showboat of 2014, right up to the latest 2019 version. Stubbornness or perfection? You be the judge. With each iteration, though, the Juke doesn't just hover seductively over the ground but also nibbles on practicality, with its trunk size ballooning like a hedge fund manager's portfolio, from 830 liters to a cavernous 1305 liters when the rear seats are folded faster than a London umbrella in a storm.

The difference in Ground clearance between first generation (F15) from 2010 and last generation (Juke F16 (1. Facelift)) from 2024 is 0cm mm.
The ground clearance of the current generation of Juke is 180 mm.

The ground clearance compared to other Nissan models

Diving into the familial pool, the Juke stands tall against its electric cousin, the Nissan Leaf, which musters a mere 150mm off the ground, making it the Gregor Clegane amongst Lannisters. However, the Juke plays the understudy to its bigger brother, the electric Nissan Ariya, by just a hair's breadth, with the Ariya hitting 178mm—close, but no cigar. This is vehicular Darwinism at its finest, with the Juke sitting quite comfortably in the echelons of Nissan's evolutionary ground clearance lineage.

How does the ground clearance of the Nissan Juke compare to it's nearest competitors?

When it's time to throw down the gauntlet, the Juke is more than ready to rumble with the other scrappers in its weight class. The Opel Grandland X looms over with an 8mm advantage, the BMW X2 barely skims over with an extra 2mm, and the Mazda CX-7 towers above with a lofty 25mm superiority. Sneaking below our Juke is the KIA Niro and the Lexus UX with a 20mm decrease in altitude. Not to mention the heavyweight Land Rover Range Rover Evoque and Volvo XC40 which crush the competition with a staggering 35mm excess. The Juke may seem like David in a world of Goliaths, but remember this—David had a slingshot and a smug grin for a reason.
