On November 24, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. unveiled the new “Note” of its leading compact car in an online presentation. It will be launched on December 23 and will lead to a comeback in the domestic market. Only e-POWER, which is a series-type hybrid technology (HV), will be established to promote electrification.
The new notebook is the third generation and has been fully improved for the first time in eight years and three months since the second generation that appeared in September 2012. e-POWER combines a 1.2-liter displacement engine and a with a maximum power of 85kW (116PS). It is a second generation e-POWER with a redesigned inverter and motor, and the inverter aims for a 30% weight reduction which also leads to better fuel efficiency. The engine has improved output by 6% and torque by 10%, leading to powerful acceleration performance from start-up and mid-speed range.
Furthermore, the silence and stability during cornering due to the adoption of a new platform (chassis) are attractive as “a ride quality that is one or two classes higher” (development director). For the first time, the professional driver assistance technology pilot has adopted the “Navilink function” which supports deceleration according to the size of the curve by linking with the navigation system. Initially, there are only 3 degrees of FF, and the price (including excise tax) ranges from 2,029,500 yen to 2,186,800 yen. In December, a 2-engine 4WD model will also be announced.
Asako Hoshino, executive vice president in charge of the domestic division, said of the new notebook model: “The second generation e-POWER provides new value that reverses the common wisdom of customers with a ride and quality that goes beyond the compact car framework. We will definitely be successful in Japan and lead to steady progress on Nissan Next (medium-term plan). “
Also, regarding the launch of only e-POWER, “Nissan’s vision is that we will lead the world in zero emissions, although the amount may be higher if there is a gasoline car. We present the Note e-POWER as a symbolic car to focus on. “
