    Nissan Note (E12) 2012-

    Nissan NOTE Launched, a New Global Hatchback
    -Sales Set to Begin in Japan in Early September–

    -Dynamic new hatchback heralds Nissan's commitment to the mainstream B-segment
    -Energetic exterior design resonates with the modern and spacious interior in a compact package
    -Packed with technological innovations, including Around View Monitor (AVM)
    -Provides spirited dynamic performance, strong fuel economy and low emissions


    YOKOHAMA (July 16, 2012) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today unveiled the Nissan Note, a new global compact car at a world premiere held at the Osanbashi venue in Yokohama.

    With a goal of becoming the most user-friendly car in its segment, the new Note will explore the full potential of compact cars when it goes on sale in Japan this fall.

    The Note achieves class-leading fuel efficiency and emission levels, combining advanced engine technology, a lightweight platform and improved aerodynamics.

    The new hatchback includes Nissan's advanced Around View Monitor (AVM) which is included for the first time in a compact car, helping to take the stress out of reversing and parallel parking in tight spaces.

    The Note's eye-catching exterior features a striking character line, known as the 'Squash Line', and an aerodynamic body shape while its distinctive front grille, headlamps and rear combination lamps combine to create a sense of dynamism and sophistication.

    The revamped body structure enabled the Note's designers to deliver a spacious interior that is beyond expectations for a car in this class. An expansive and inviting cabin includes a flowing line above the instrument panel, which inspired by ripples in sand, helps express the Note's practicality and modernity as well as contributing to its high-quality interior.

    Two new engines will be available to customers in Japan, including the new supercharged HR12DDR (DIG-S) and the HR12DE, which has received acclaim in the Nissan March.

    Combining the compact, lightweight next-generation XTRONIC CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) for all grades with an Idling Stop System for 2WD, the newly-developed three-cylinder supercharged, direct injection DIG-S engine provides an enjoyable driving experience and excellent fuel efficiency, achieving class-leading*1 economy of 25.2 km/L (on JC08 mode)*2.

    A global success since its launch in 2005, Nissan has sold 940,000 units of the current Note.

    The new Japanese-market Note will be manufactured at Nissan Motor Kyushu. Nissan's Sunderland plant in the U.K. will produce models for Europe, which are planned for release in 2013.

    *1: Car of over 1000cc engine displacement and excludes Hybrid model.
    *2: Fuel economy varies by grade.

    It looks more stylish then its predecessor. But I doubt if people buying these kind of cars, medium sized(EU) people carriers, even bother how it looks.

    It needs a diesel in Europe, though. The Micra might get away without it, but this won't sell without a diesel.

    That will come in time, this is the Japanese version. The E11 was also sold in Europe with a diesel engine.

    So was the last Micra, but not the new one.
