e-Power Nismo grades, and prices are expected to range between JPY 1.79 million
and JPY 2.44 million.
A slew of spyshots have revealed the changes
introduced in the facelifted Nissan Note. It features updated headlamps,
Nissan’s V-motion grille, reshaped lower grille and restyled bumper with bigger
fog lamps. The rear-end looks largely identical to the outgoing model, save for
a new cluster design in the lamps and bumper.
The Nissan Note Hybrid will feature will feature a
series hybrid drivetrain, where its electric motors drive the front axle, while
the IC petrol engine serves as a range-extender and charges the battery via a
generator. Although not official, the Note Hybrid is claimed to offer 37 km/l
(Japanese driving cycle).
