Japanese firm Nissan has changed its tune – by giving the Note supermini- MPV a new look. There’s an updated front end design, with fresh headlights, bonnet and bumper.
The redesigned grille comes in a choice of body-coloured, gunmetal or smoky-chrome finishes. Inside, a new instrument panel is the most notable difference, as it comprises larger dials and an LCD odometer.
The newcomer also gets Nissan’s Plus navi entertainment package. This boasts a seven-inch widescreen LCD display with a 30GB hard drive – which stores mapping for the sat-nav – plus a TV tuner and iPod compatibility.Alterations have been made to the 1.5-litre petrol engine and CVT box to enhance economy, too. The revisions are already on the Japanese car, and a spokeswoman for Nissan UK told us the styling could be adopted when the European-spec Note is facelifted within the next two years.
