The Nissan Note stands out as one of the most thoughtfully designed compact cars on the market today. With a short nose, long roofline, and spacious interior inspired by minivan proportions, the Note blends intelligent packaging, next-gen electrified performance, and sharp Japanese design.

The third-generation Nissan Note introduces a significant leap in compact car engineering. It utilizes Nissan's e-POWER system and delivers spirited acceleration, high efficiency, and class-leading refinement—all wrapped in a city-smart package.
