Friday 12th August 2022 – Vehicles on the Scheme – 523 Change +1
Nissan +1 (listed as petrol, but actually a hybrid)
Juke +1
New Hybrid Powertrain offering 141bhp and economy of 55.4 miles per gallon, this is a big step forward for the Juke, 25% more power and 20% improved economy. £999 Advance Payment in N-Connecta trim only.
This is the blurb as the gearbox is a peculiar hybrid itself:
JUKE Hybrid will showcase a true multi-modal hybrid powertrain, as opposed to enhancing traditional internal combustion engines with electric capabilities, in turn delivering key customer benefits:
100% electric-only start up – every time.
Enjoyable driveability in all circumstances.
Excellent fuel efficiency thanks to the smart multi-modal gearbox, efficient regenerative braking, and high performance battery
Central to the development of the hybrid powertrain was the importance to JUKE customers of a rewarding driving experience. And, the thrill of the drive can be matched by this new powerful, responsive and efficient powertrain.The JUKE hybrid powertrain consists of a new generation, state-of-the-art Nissan internal combustion engine specifically developed for working in a hybrid powertrain application. It produces 69kW (94hp) and 148Nm of torque.
On the electric side, Nissan supplied the main electric motor which produces 36kW (49hp) and 205Nm of torque, while Renault provided the 15kW high voltage starter/generator, the inverter and the 1.2kWh water-cooled battery, as well as the highly innovative gearbox. The net result is a powertrain providing 25% more power than the current petrol engine option, with a fuel consumption reduction of up to 40% in urban cycle, and up to 20% combined. (Figures subject to homologation)
Smart automatic gearbox
Key to the driving pleasure at the heart of the Nissan JUKE Hybrid is an advanced low friction multi modal gearbox that provides optimal use of the propulsive power, whether electric, petrol engine, or both.
To reduce friction, this gearbox uses dog clutches instead of conventional synchroniser rings to shift the 4 “ICE” gears and 2 “EV” gears. Additionally, to reduce friction, this gearbox does not use a clutch. All vehicle starts are 100% electric, and the 2 EV motors are used in combination to synchronise the gears, delivering a smooth, connected and responsive acceleration.
The gearbox is controlled by an advanced algorithm, managing the shift points, battery regeneration, as well as the advanced series-parallel architecture. The powertrain can navigate through different hybridisation type possible (series, parallel, series-parallel) according to acceleration and power requirements seamlessly and without any driver input.
