In the recently concluded European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP), the 2020 Nissan Juke has clinched on to a perfect 5-star safety rating. The crossover managed to attain high scores in all the crash tests and safety departments thanks to the ultra-high-strength steel that the automaker has used in building the Juke. Also, the material enhances the rigidity and allows the force of an impact to be absorbed and dissipated before reaching the passenger safety cell.

Moreover, the standard safety features include multiple SRS airbags, ABS with EBD & BA, ISOFIX child seat mounts, autonomous emergency braking, and much more.

The scores sheet reads 94% in adult occupant protection, 85% in child occupant protection, 81% in vulnerable road users protection, and 73% in Safety Assist. In comparison, the previous Juke could only manage 87% in adult occupant, 81% in child occupant protection, 41% in vulnerable road users protection, and 71% in safety assist.

"We’re so proud to have been awarded the highest safety rating from Euro NCAP. The use of advanced materials, including high-strength steel, and Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology means we can offer a fun, agile drive with enhanced all-round protection", said Nissan Europe’s Vice President of Product Planning Marco Fioravanti.
