2017 Nissan Note enters production in Japan

A brochure leak revealed that the Note e-Power X and e-Power Medalist hybrid variants are priced at 1,959,120 yen and 2,244,240 yen, respectively.

The brochure scans (attached below) offer a better look at the changes introduced, which include revised headlamps with projector lighting, Nissan's V-motion grille with blue accent (hybrid only), redesigned lower grille and restyled bumper with larger fog lamps. The rear-end looks largely identical to the outgoing model, save for a new cluster design in the lamps and redesigned bumper.

The top-end e-Power Medalist variant will come with a Premium White interior package that includes dual tone white and brown leather upholstery, satin ivory trim garnish on the center console and door panel, leather-wrapped steering wheel and driver's seat armrest.

The e-Power variant features a series hybrid drivetrain, where its electric motors drive the front axle and the IC petrol engine serves as a range-extender; generating current to power the motors via a generator. Nissan claims that the Note Hybrid can average a fuel mileage of 34 km/l (Japanese driving cycle).
