Loyal Nissan customer Patricia McIntosh became one of the UK’s first recipients of the all-new Juke SUV when she took delivery of her 27 new car from Norfolk retailer Crayford & Holt.

McIntosh, who has been a Nissan driver since 1972, said that she had found Nissans “utterly reliable” during more than four decades with the brand when she visited the dealership on Gypsies Lane, Holt, to collect her new car last week.

“I’ve owned 27 Nissans over the years and this will be my fifth Juke,” she said

“They’re utterly reliable, economical to run and really comfortable.”

Kevin Abbs, director at Crayford & Abbs, said: “When Pat came in to drive the new Juke for the first time she was blown away by the fantastic ride and equipment.

“It was great to see her so excited about her new car.”

The new generation Nissan Juke was designed, engineered and built in the UK, and features increased interior space and the latest Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies, including Propilot – a driver assistance system that keeps the car in lane and at a safe dis-tance from vehicles ahead.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both available to mirror your smartphone, while a full suite of connected services, including Google Assistant integration, can also be used to share routes or talk to your smart device.

The Nissan Juke range starts from just £17,395 for the entry-grade Visia, with range-topping Tekna+ versions from £23,895, and was showcased to customers with a dealer tour during October.
