Nissan introduced a second update to its small-sized MPV Note, also known as the Versa in some countries, trying to gain more money from the five-years-old vehicle.
When Nissan introduced the Versa/Note on the market based on the same platform as the Micra and the Almera, it tried to convince people that the MPV is the best solution for a small family that looks for a spacious, yet short, vehicle. It wasn't a complete success on the market, but good enough for the bean counters to keep it on the assembly lines. After the first facelift, which happened in 2014, the carmaker decided to improve it again in 2017.
Nissan already introduced the V-shaped chromed trim on most of its models, but the Note was still left with the older version. The 2017 model-year fixed that. It also sported a new front bumper, which looked sportier than before, with the lower apron and a small lip at the bottom. On the sides, the newly designed 15" or 16" alloy wheels, depending on the options, created an image of a sports-chic vehicle.
Inside, the carmaker tried to induce another sporty appearance with silver plastic trims on the dashboard, steering wheel, center console, and door handles. It also sported bigger cup holders, a new 12-volt plug, and a relocated USB port for the sound system. The upgraded infotainment unit was still placed in the middle of the center stack, between the upper air vents and the lower climate-control knobs. Like its non-facelifted version, the 2017 model-year offered a high seating position and enough room for five adult passengers.
Under the hood, Nissan installed a new, 1.6-liter powerplant mated as standard with a CVT gearbox named X-Tronic by the carmaker.
