Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today announced the domestic launch of the all-new Note compact car. As its "SHIFT_compact flexibility" tagline implies, the Note offers top-level driving performance and flexibility for a car of its size.

Nissan Note Overview

1. Advanced powertrain
The Nissan Note is fitted with the newly developed all-aluminum 1.5 liter 16-valve engine paired with Nissan’s XTRONIC CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The result is quick throttle response and smooth, powerful acceleration in a variety of driving situations, as well as good fuel economy.

The Nissan Note adopts a strut suspension at the front and a torsion beam suspension at the rear. In addition, the Note is fitted with rebound springs, ripple-control shock absorbers and other suspension features usually found on upscale models that provide excellent handling and stability combined with superb ride comfort and quietness.

2. A fresh exterior design and a stylish, comfortable interior
Executed around the themes of "reassuring,” “enjoyable” and “surprising,” the exterior projects a look of high functionality. Notable features of the fresh, stylish exterior design include the large headlamps and the distinctly shaped rear combination lamps.

The interior design blends enjoyment with stylishness, with meticulous care taken in the execution of fine details. Interior color choices include bright Bossa Beige trim and modern-looking Jet Black trim.

The Note lineup includes the 15RX model, which exudes a sporty yet premium-quality look. The model features 15-inch aluminum alloy wheels with a bright finish, a Euro-tuned suspension and a roof spoiler. The interior comes with silver-colored finishers on the steering wheel and shift knob, among other places, as well as Jet Black trim and other exclusive appointments.

3. A roomy, open interior within a compact body
Despite its short overall length of 3,990 mm, the Note has a long wheelbase of 2,600 mm. The result is a comfortable, roomy cabin combined with ample cargo space. Even users who switch from a larger car will be satisfied with the generous interior.

The rear Seat offers added width thanks to the absence of wheelhouse intrusions. The added roominess is possible because the long wheelbase allows the rear wheels to be positioned behind the seat. In addition, the thick rear Seat cushion enables passengers to ride in relaxing comfort.

The slightly high hip point of the Note’s seats and the low waistline ensure excellent outward visibility.

Despite the model’s long wheelbase, the Note still achieves a minimum turning radius of 4.7 meters for nimble agility.

4. A double-decker multiconfigurable trunk
The Note features a double-decker multiconfigurable trunk designed for flexible and convenient storage of cargo. The rear cargo area can easily be arranged into four handy configurations.
- Nidan (double-decker) trunk mode: This configuration provides a double-decker cargo area with a 250-mm-deep underfloor compartment, enabling items to be stowed separately on the upper and lower levels.
