Nissan has changed the way we understand the new Note, if we remember The previous version was marketed within the C segment, with features that came closer to a compact MPV that a hatchback, but has not lost its virtues, otherwise, but now in the B segment.
New Nissan Note comes to market with all the benefits of the previous generation, interior space, comfort as one of its attributes, quality, reliability, among others; but also significantly improves dynamic, equipment, safety and efficiency, see

Engine 1.5 dCi 90 hp, great balance
It’s not a new engine, in fact has been proven and tested, has been mounted on the Nissan Note through the Renault-Nissan alliance, but said propellant has gone through several models of the alliance, cars quite successfully in the market, now is the turn the Note.
This diesel block is a 1,461 cc four-cylinder capacity , delivers 90 hp at 4,000 rpm from and also has generous 200 Nm of maximum torque, which is available from 1,750 rpm , a setting that promises good push and correct recoveries.
This engine is associated with a 5-speed manual transmission, acceleration 0-100 km / h in 11.9 seconds full , and the maximum speed that can reach the Note is 179 km / h, figures more than adequate for a vehicle of its features.
Combination reports a average consumption (approved) of 3.6 liters per 100 km , and urban consumption is 4.2 l / 100 km while the extra urban is 3.2 liters for 100 kilometers. CO2 emissions are 92 grams per kilometer.
Behavior, efficient in every way
The cockpit of the new Nissan Note is comfortable, that even though the wheel has no depth adjustment, however, is easy find the optimum position for driving , step on the clutch and we activate the power button.
1.5 dCi block appears slightly noisy first gear and took off, noticed right away the developments short of the first gears , which means that we gain strength very quickly, it helps the torque available from as low turns undoubtedly correct acceleration.
The clutch travel is known, with a pedal in very front position and a performance toward the end, which subtracts the gearshift speed, but takes getting used to, in city tour also noticed that brakes are correct, but be effective in excess .
the first change confirmed something we had noticed in the test during the international filing the somewhat dry suspensions but correct .
Already have a toll road longer development for 4th and 5th gear , so we will too at ease and will not affect consumption. Above 90 km / h noticed a wind noise from the side, specifically the mirrors, somewhat annoying.
We entered highway and despite having a slightly hard jerk suspension, ride comfort is not affected in this sense the set conveys comfort and safety even at high speeds, so far a behavior balances do.
The engine responds nicely, is quite progressive, the midrange among 2,000 and 3,500-could say is’ sweet spot ‘of this engine , allows a correct recoveries, so it can go on the highway overtaking insurance or face slopes, with or without occupants.
When faced twisty roads or pathways, Note meets the the front end felt well supported and we can trust enough to require a little cornering, always within its limits, and legal. The Note is well behaved curve .
At this point, Note dynamism is hampered slightly braking and the short development of the first marches in places which require to be vented or very short; but we are talking about an ‘unnatural’ for Note context, whose vocation is more urban.
Among the suspension and steering, we get enough information what happens below vehicle path and the shifter offers a ‘normal’ precision while climate controls, cruise control and audio system are available browser correctly.
In any case, the sensations that leaves the Nissan Note 1.5 dCi 90 after the test are satisfactory in all a that responds well to dynamic mechanical level, with good acceleration, recoveries car and same time comfortable for commuting ‘cruise’.
Consumption, another plus for the Nissan Note
Our test Nissan Note 1.5 dCi 90 passed along some 370 miles of normal driving, without seeking consumption but not thoroughly, the average speed was 52 km / h and the computer showed a average consumption of 4.3 l / 100 km , a very interesting number.
We tested the ECO mode that can be turned into a button on the center tunnel just behind the transmission lever, this mode adjusts the throttle hard and indicators on the board with a guide to optimize acceleration-deceleration cycles, however, was not comfortable us .
This consumption figure after the test Note dCi 90 hp is very close to the 3.6-liter Nissan counterpart, we understand that long distance use in the day-to-day potential user Note will help you get as good as these figures. It remains to make a test with 4 passengers and luggage
