Segment
SUV Small
Sunderland-built small SUV that defined the divisive-styling B-segment crossover — F15 (2010-2019) was the original cartoon-faced car with split headlights, F16 (2019-Present) toned the look down on the CMF-B platform. F15 had the bonkers Juke-R one-offs (R35 GT-R driveline) plus the production Nismo RS with 215 bhp from a 1.6 turbo. F16 dropped the manual outside of base trim and added a 1.6 hybrid in 2022. Cabin was always the weak point — small boot, cramped rear, and the 1.5 dCi diesel was the volume seller until Nissan pulled it in 2018.
