Nissan has refreshed the Note mini-MPV with updated petrol engines, more equipment and minor cosmetic changes.
There are some mild visual changes to help identify the latest model. Acenta and Tekna versions now have silver-painted door handles and tailgate trim while the B- and C-pillars get a gloss black finish. The n-tec features a new front spoiler finisher.
Customers are also being tempted by extra equipment. Depending on the grade that includes USB connectivity (Acenta), climate control (n-tec) and keyless entry (Tekna).
There are no major mechanical changes but the 1.4- and 1.6-litre petrol engines now meet the latest Euro V emissions regulations.
Despite the upgrades Nissan has held prices at the same level as the 2010 models'. Customers can also benefit from two offers including the Clear Nissan Scheme, which brings two years' free servicing and three years of breakdown cover.
The updated Nissan Note is available to order now with the first cars arriving later this month. Euro V compliant diesel models are due in November.
