The new Nissan NOTE is a roomy five-door hatchback that combines innovative styling and practicality with a strong sporting flavour. It is aimed at parents who have a need for a car to match their busy lives, but who don't want to stop having fun behind the wheel.
The NOTE has a dynamic stance and distinctive styling cues, which will appeal to buyers who have always considered design as an important priority when they're shopping for a car. But good style and fun to drive does not mean that the NOTE cannot meet the needs of busy families with a limited budget.
Inside, there is a vast amount of space thanks to the wheelbase of 2600mm - longer than that of a VW Golf - and the space can be maximised thanks to folding rear seats, as well as a sliding rear bench.
There will be four engine options: two 1.5 dCi diesels developing 50kW and 63kW (68 and 86 PS) respectively, a 1.4-litre 65kW (88PS) petrol unit and a new 1.6-litre 81kW (110PS) petrol engine found in the new Micra 160SR and C+C.
