The new Nissan Note offers an innovative design and technological advances that until now were only available in the Premium segment such as the Safety Shield that combines the warning of the presence of vehicles in the dead angle (Blind Spot Warning), the notice of involuntary lane change (Lane Departure Warning) and the moving object detector (MOVEING OBJECT OBJECT); the Nissan Connect refrigerator system; and efficiency systems such as the Star/Stop function.
The new Nissan Note has technologies so far never seen in small vehicles, such as the 360º vision camera system, a system that eliminates stress in parallel parking maneuvers and in reverse.
Using four different cameras, the 5.8 -inch screen mounted on the dashboard projects an zenith image that helps the driver visually confirm the position of the car in relation to the environment in which the maneuvers is thus facilitating. This system is complemented in the Nissan Note with the Safety Shield protection shield in Nissan , marketed at a very affordable price. This system differs from those of the competition because it only needs to work the images captured by the rear camera of the AVM, while other systems use expensive radar systems and front cameras to achieve similar functions.
Nissan Safety Shield
as previously indicated by Nissan's Safety Shield is formed by three technologies: vehicle presence notice at the dead angle (Blind Spot Warning), notice of involuntary lane change (Lane Departure Warning) and moving object detector (Moving Object Detection).
The presence of vehicles in the dead angle, uses the rear camera to detect vehicles located in the dead angles on both sides of the Nissan Note . If a vehicle is detected in any of them, a warning light is turned on in the rearview mirror glass on the corresponding side. If the driver indicates that he will change lane with the intermittent and the system detects the presence of the vehicle in the danger area on that side, the light flashes and a perfectly audible sound warning is generated.
The involuntary lane change notice detects if the car is removing the lane through which it circulates. Instead of a chamber mounted on the front windshield or the radar system that is usually used for this function, the Nissan Note only uses its rear camera and a series of advanced computerized programs to detect the lines that mark the lanes in all light conditions, to determine if the car is abandoning the lane through which it circulates without having indicated by the intermittent. If that happens, the driver is warned to correct his position on the road. The system automatically adapts its sensitivity when circulating on regional roads to allow different types of driving.
The moving object detector offers the driver a digital co -pilot that helps to see any object or person that approaches Nissan Note when it circulates back. While conventional parking assistance systems only detect objects that are in their trajectory, the Object Detection movement provides visual and sound alerts if someone or something moves behind the car, for example, if a child approaches the note when it circulates back. Safety Shield security shield camera has a viewing angle of more than 180 degrees, which provides a vision of everything behind the car. The images of the camera are shown on the 5.8 -inch screen of the Nissan Connect system.
Safety Shield technologies depend on the camera mounted on the posterior gate, maintaining a clear image is fundamental. Nissan engineers have developed the perfect solution: an integrated cleaning and drying system of the camera. Sophisticated algorithms analyze the image and identify any trace of dirt present in the chamber. If necessary, a small jet of clean the lens and a subsequent jet of compressed air dry to prevent drops. Thus, the functions of the security pack are always operational regardless of weather conditions.
On the other hand, the Nissan Note Nissan Connect navigation system with Bluetooth and audio equipment. The navigation software is that of Google® 'Send to Car' that allows you to plan home routes and transfer them to the car. In addition, it has connected services that include the points of interest (POI) of Google® and the prices of fuels in the nearest service stations as well as information about time and flights.
As for technologies that enhance efficiency, all versions of the Nissan Note will be equipped as standard with the Stop/Start system that allows you to achieve very low CO2 emissions figures, from 95g/km. This efficiency is complemented by the high performance of the advanced gasoline and diesel engines.
Exterior design of the new Nissan Note
The new Nissan Note is inspired by the form and design of the concept car invitation, presented in the 2012 Geneva Hall. The lines of its silhouette reveal the care of its aerodynamic capacity. The European Nissan Note will have its own frontal design as well as specific rearview mirrors that house the lateral flashing.
Built on the light platform V of Nissan , the new note combines a generous wheelbase with short blasting. The side of the car is characterized by its marked line 'Squash Line, whose name is inspired by the rapid movement of Squash's balls when they fly along the track.
The front combines sculpted surfaces with a grill and interconnected headlights. On the side the wheel steps marked and the line of the crystals in soft ascent, reinforce their design.
The Dynamic design package has black details around the headlights and the grill and presents bigger and sculpted air intakes and air outlets both in the front and rear bumper.
Interior design of the new Nissan Note
The new Nissan Note offers the versatility of the previous note with premium quality finishes, high -tech equipment and a leading practicality in its segment.
The dashboard has been designed according to European tastes ensuring clarity by presenting in the most appropriate way all data that affect driving as well as two advanced economics. An Eco Pedal Witness shows the efficiency percentage of the use of the accelerator by the driver while the general economy offers a very specific visual guide of the savings achieved in each real -time displacement.
The interior of the note has been designed and built to offer the occupants a comfortable and refined environment. The blue lights of the Econometer give the cabin a relaxed environment.
The sliding rear sidewalk allows owners to distribute the space dedicated to passengers and the trunk, double floor, depending on the needs.
Motor and transmission of Nissan Note
The new note will be offered in four motor variants and transmission with CO2 emissions from only 95 g/km. Nissan 's intelligent Stop-Stop System will be standard in all versions to increase efficiency and minimize CO2 emissions.
The two gasoline engines of the new note have a displacement of 1,198 cc are two units of three cylinders and 12 valves, light, compact and high efficiency. The inconveniences that are usually associated with three -cylinder engines have been avoided with the introduction of numerous engineering innovations. These include a counter -controlled tree in the crankshaft pulley that eliminates the vertical vibration generated by the displacement of the piston. Consequently, this advanced engine has the same refinement levels as a four -cylinder unit.
The 1.2 access engine has a power of 80 hp at 6,000 rpm and a torque of 110 Nm to 4,000 rpm. That translates into a combined consumption of 4.7 l/100 km, and CO2 emissions of 109 g/km.
The innovative 1.2 DIG-S engine that yields 98 hp at 5,600 rpm and 142 nm from torque at 4,400 rpm is followed in the range. This advanced engine offers the economy of a traditional diesel, but provides an experience at the wheel similar to that of a middle cylinders of middle cylindrated gasoline. Among the interesting technical characteristics of this engine, the presence of a compressor stands out. Equipped with an electronic clutch system, it can be disconnected from the engine when driving at low speed, which improves the economy and reduces unnecessary frictions inside the engine.
To reduce the inefficient loss of power within the motor operation system, it rotates according to the Miller cycle. By allowing the intake valve to be open for a longer time together with an increase in the compression ratio, compression within the piston becomes more efficient.
Combined, these innovations make 1.2 DIG-S an efficient and elastic engine. Despite its high benefits, its CO2 emissions are only 99 g/km with the manual gearbox (119 g/km with the CVT transmission). The fuel consumption is 4.3 l/100 km (with manual change) in the combined cycle.
Completing the range of Note engines we find the revised turbodiesel engine 1.5. This 90 hp propeller of the Renault-Nissan alliance emits only 95 g/km of CO2 with an average consumption of 3.6 l/100 km.
New Nissan Note ranges
The new note will be launched in three finishes; Visia, Accent and Tekna. All versions will have Stop-Start system, six airbags and a limiting cruise control.
The intermediate versions Acenta will add air conditioning, Bluetooth connection and rear electric windows while the most equipped Tekna will propose the Safety Shield , the Nissan Connect , the 360 Vision Chamber, a mixed cloth-cuero upholstery and the I-Key key without key.
The production of the new note will begin in summer and the first deliveries are planned, depending on the markets, from the fall of 2013.
