The Nissan Note is a common sight on Kenyan roads and is loved by many motorists for its fuel efficiency, reliability, and practicality. Launched in 2005, the Nissan Note was initially sold in Japan and other selected markets. In some countries, it is sold as the Nissan Versa. The Note has gone through three generations since its introduction, with the current third generation starting in 2021 and continuing. The Nissan Note competes with the Toyota Ractis, Subaru Trezia, Honda Fit and Mazda Demio.
Nissan Note Engine and Transmission Options
The second generation Nissan Note(2012 to 2020) has four engine options: 1.2L HR12DR Petrol engine, 1.6L HR16DE Petrol engine, 1.2L HR12DE Hybrid engine, and 1.5L K9K Diesel engine. All four engines are mated to either a 5-speed manual or an Xtronic CVT.
However, in the third generation, Nissan Dropped the other engines for a 1.2 L HR12DE e-Power hybrid I3 engine that is paired with a single-speed constant ratio transmission.
Nissan Note Interior
The interior of the Note is quite spacious and can comfortably seat up to 5 people. There is plenty of headroom and legroom in the front row and the seats recline. The seats in the second row are just as comfortable and have a reclining function for extra comfort, especially on long journeys.
The Nissan Note also comes with a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bluetooth interface and two USB Type A ports.
With all seats in place, the Nissan Note offers 9.9 cubic feet of space, which is comparable to the Toyota Ractis. If more space is needed, the second-row seats can be folded back, increasing the capacity to 35.3 cubic feet.
Nissan Note Exterior
The Nissan Note has a modern and elegant exterior design that embodies Nissan’s “V-Motion” philosophy of combining style with spacious comfort. The front fascia features a bold V-Motion grille and new V-Motion chrome that integrates the angular headlamps into the grille. The side profile features clean, continuous character lines that run from the front fenders to the rear lights. Meanwhile, the rear boasts a distinctive signature tail lamp with a horizontal line that extends horizontally.
Nissan Note Reliability
The Nissan Note is considered to be a reliable hatchback that can serve you for years in Kenya without experiencing any major mechanical problems. The e-Power hybrid system is also said to be reliable and uses a single-speed transmission, which is used by electric vehicles and is more reliable than multi-speed automatic transmissions.
Regular maintenance and servicing of your Nissan Note is essential to ensure its longevity and minimise any underlying problems.
