NIssan Note 2013: the legend. Part 2

The new miracle of the Japanese car industry - Nissan Note 2013 - is an improved aerodynamics of a hatchback with a front-wheel drive and five doors. If the predecessor was classified as a "B" class car, the novelty is positioned by the developers as a full-strength C-class body. By the way, the debut of the car in its homeland, in Japan, took place almost a year ago, the baby was brought to Geneva only in March 2013.

In the European version of Nissan Note 2013, in addition to noticeable improvements to the body line , the car has become more elongated and no longer resembles a frenzied shark - developers have changed the suspension, salon, added a diesel modification. In a word, meet the future unconditional sales leader in your price category! After all, there will be a car on the Russian market not earlier than October this year.

What's New?

Let's begin, more truly, we will continue a theme of updatings of motors kompaktvena Nissan Note 2013. Besides the engine on gasoline in volume of 1,2 l - not too powerful for such body, agree, designers and founders have added a diesel engine in capacity of 1,5 l and capacity in 89 horsepowers . Of course, I would like more, but then it is unlikely that the car will be rightfully considered a low-budget subcompact. Nobody was going to go off-road on this "pony", and for the city - quite respectable characteristics.

From transmissions, a five-speed mechanics and a mixed CVT variator are offered. By the way, smart transmission saves and fuel consumption: in the diesel version - just 3.6 liters for every hundred kilometers.

Externally, the body of Nissan Note 2013 is contradictory: it seems to have changed a lot, but in fact - a little narrowed the fog lights, corrected the radiator grille. In a word, it will also be easy to recognize him by his characteristic handwriting-a raised lateral line, oval headlamps of headlights and other paintings of Nissan brand. Where it is more interesting to look inside the salon.

Here, designers have worked hard to create a completely new instrument panel, something that repeats the panel of other models - a little from Qashqai, slightly from the Mini. However, the innovation is also noticeable: the circular viewing system Around View Monitor for four cameras located around the perimeter of the body will eliminate any parking problems (if any). In addition - the control package "dead zones" and "pshchalka", announcing the impending approach of the object in front of the car. By the way, for those who do not like to even look at the screen during the autumn period: all the cameras are equipped with dryers and washers, visibility is almost 100% in any season.

Needless to say, at Nissan Note the ground clearance allows you to raise this car to a different level of roads, but you still have to take care of the bottom treatment. Ride on such a baby on the road will be considered safe already because the manufacturers supplied all three complete sets - Tekna, Visia and Acenta - already with six airbags. And, of course, cruise control - any modern car does not come off the assembly line without this thing.

Summarizing, I want to note that the second generation, which is a car Nissan Note, may carry a lot of pleasant surprises. Moreover, the owners of the previous one in 50 cases out of 100 would not agree to change the car to another model. An excellent family car with increased comfort and reduced consumption - what else is needed for the happiness of the modern economy?
