What is the Nissan Note?
The Nissan Note is a compact, tall-bodied five-door family car. Its upright shape makes good use of cabin space while keeping the car easy to manoeuvre around town. In Europe, Nissan placed it in the B-segment, its small-car class.
Note generations
The first-generation Note, E11, ran from 2006 to 2013. The second generation, E12, followed from 2013 to 2017. Nissan described the European E12 as combining design with technology and kept it in the B-segment. The model’s generations brought changes to its design and equipment while retaining its compact family-car role.

Across EU registrations, the Note’s engines range from 1.2 to 1.6 litres, with power from 59 kW (80 PS) to 89 kW (121 PS). Listed fuels include petrol, diesel, LPG and other classifications.
