Nissan Note begins a new chapter
publication date: Jan 27, 2012
Over 100,000
British buyers have already taken Note of Nissan's UK-built supermini-MPV and to
ensure its continuing popularity with buyers it's receiving further upgrades
for 2012.
The first
noteworthy news is an increase in equipment and style for the popular Acenta
model. On the outside are new ‘diamond cut' two-tone 16-inch alloy wheels,
replacing the original 15 inch.
|  | Add in chrome-effect door mirror covers and
front fog light surrounds and the exterior changes become even more noticeable.
A new seat fabric
with blue stitching is used to provide a more premium interior feel, while
climate control, automatic headlights and rain-sensitive wipers all now come as
standard.
Moving up the
range, the best-selling N-TEC has been upgraded too. In addition to the Acenta
specification, the new N-TEC+ incorporates rear parking sensors to help keep
the bodywork scuff-free. As with the N-TEC, darkened rear privacy glass and the
touch screen ‘Connect' satellite navigation system also feature.
The ‘Connect'
system additionally provides a full digital music connectivity package with
built in CD/radio, iPod gateway, Aux-in, USB connection and Bluetooth phone
connection.
Despite all this
equipment, buyers can own a Note for less notes than might be expected. Prices
start at £11,200 for the Visia, with the new Acenta at £13,000 and the new
N-TEC+ a further £500. This makes it a real alternative to less practical
superminis.
The engine line-up
continues with the 1.4, 1.6 petrol and 1.5dCi power units. The Pure Drive badged 1.5dCi
emits a CO2 level of just 110g/km with a combined economy figure of
67.3mpg. The first of the
new Notes will reach dealers in early February. | | |
