Three Nissan nerds and me! Join Paul, Newt and Hannah (our supply northerner) as we dive deep into the latest Nissan news in this episode of Ctrl Alt Refuel.

We kick things off with some positive financial updates: Nissan's small operating profit, cash in the business, and why new CEO Ivan Espinosa's cost-cutting moves seem to be working. Then we geek out over the bold new Juke design (love it or hate it?), its CMF-EV platform, Sunderland production plans, and how it stacks up against the outgoing model. We also chat about the Micra, Leaf, potential Qashqai future, and more quirky Nissan models.

Paul’s car has passed the meaningless 100,000 mile threshold. He seemed to think it was important enough to capture it on video. You will probably disagree. Newt then reminds him how it's had new wheel bearings, a new windscreen and four new tyres. Cheap car isn't all that cheap, as it turns out.

Are we getting a Primera EV in the UK? A maybe a new PHEV Navara too.

Nissan and Chery are in discussion to use a production line to build the Chinese manufacturers cars there. We examine what might and might not happen there.

We discuss news that the Jatco drivetrain plant - a joint venture of Nissan and Jatco isn't going to go ahead in Sunderland. We didn't see this coming, so it came as a surprise.

Expect honest takes, owner stories, design debates, and plenty of EV and platform chat. If you're into Nissan, EVs, or just fun car nerd chat, this one's for you!

And more... Like if you're Team Juke

What do you think of the new design?
