Test: Nissan Note Exclusive AT – ONE Journal of Entre Rios

Nissan was one of the brands that had the greatest growth in the Argentine market in the period of the last two years. The incorporation of new models and confirmation of that soon will become terminal, thanks to Frontier production plant in Santa Isabel (Cordoba), he made it clear that the draft continued growth of the Japanese brand in the country is underway.

One of these new entrants to the market is the Nissan Note. A vehicle that came to settle in the minivan and fight him to the Honda Fit customers. As happens in these vehicles, the Note also has to compete with a strong range of possibilities such as:. The Fiat Idea, the Citroën C3 Aircross or any of the smaller hatchback

The exterior maintains the features and segment lines. A short front with a wide windscreen, type a silhouette “little egg” and a rear end abruptly and vertical. That is, a clear minivan. The side does not vary too much and continues the trend of maintaining a high waistline a sober 16-inch wheels and a wide wheelbase.

Going into the interior shares many things with others brand models such as March and Versa. It is built with a “rounded” style and with hard plastic but good quality. The instrument panel, center console with 5.8 inch screen browser, the multifunction steering wheel and air conditioning knobs are similar to that of their brothers. It also has a double glovebox on the passenger position.

The driving position is comfortable, but like most of the models in this segment is also somewhat elevated. The steering wheel has height adjustment and seat is height and reach. Although you lower the seat to the highest ceiling they will continue to think they are high. To improve comfort the front seat has a central armrest.

Beyond the comfort of the front seats, the looser in space are those traveling in the back. No problem high, or place for the legs and three passengers portly can be located with complete simplicity. Logically, this located in the central part is going to complain a few kilometers but his claim will be nothing out of the ordinary as with any other model on the market.

Where you may be make a criticism of the Nissan Note is in trunk capacity is only about 272 liters. To improve this issue, there is the opportunity to challenge in the rear seats 60/40 format and so put luggage. Temporary help is externally located below the trunk.

The engine is an improved version of the drive that equips the Versa and March. This 1.6-liter gasoline engine was taken from the 107 to 110 horsepower with a maximum torque of 145 Nm at 4,400 rpm. Associate the Exclusive version has no CVT automatic transmission option preselected sequential gears. Traction is front.

The ride comfort is ready to bring their best qualities in the city. The engine is agile and powerful at low speed to overcome any corner without any problems. The elecétronica direction helps to have a more relaxed driving and Note seems to respond when the accelerator pedal (also not a sport). The suspension and the clearance do not have any problem in passing the thousands of potholes or bumps that are in Buenos Aires.

Going on the road or highway, the Notice also provides great comfort. The soundproofing is good, engine noise does not bother and despite their high crosswinds are not as noticeable in the cabin. At about 120 Km / h, the driver does not exceed 2,350 rpm and that makes having a good consumption. Making a combined cycle, the product of Nissan scored just over seven liters per hundred kilometers.

The standard of this top version exceeds market expectations. Among the most prominent can be named the starter button and the face key, the multifunction front screen with satellite navigation, Bluetooth, internal regulation of lights, leather-wrapped steering wheel, central locking, alarm lights on when the engine control cruise speed and onboard computer. What is striking is that it has no air conditioning and automatic climate control.

As the security team, the Note comes as standard with dual airbags, ABS braking system (antilock), EBD (distribution strength electronic braking), Emergency Brake Assist (BAS), seat belts three points in every square, hooks Isofixpara adjust the baby seat and rear camera for parking. What would you ask? The stability control.

Unfortunately the test was a unit MY2015 and shortly after the MY2016 Nissan incoporó market. This restyling is in the center console with a glossy black finish (Piano Black), a board with new design and display contrast abordoahora computer. Also, the inside air ronovó commands, parasols and regulators seats.

Nissan offers a great product for this segment. Fit the eternal leadership showed no variants for this type of models. According to the price list the top end of the Note is about $ 255.700- which fortunately is generally respected and there are no surcharges. The Honda Fit, which will renew next year, sold for a little less but have to wait until 2016 to make a model comparison.

If you’re looking for an automatic vehicle that is roomy, has a good comfort gear, a novel design and low power consumption, the Nissan Note is an option to consider.
