The Nissan Note was presented to the public in Europe in March 2006, embodying Nissan's offering in the popular mini-MPV segment, selling in Britain more than 100,000 units. Furthermore, the total production at Nissan's Sunderland plant in the United Kingdom has achieved 427,985 vehicles since the debut. The Note has been polished up by Nissan for 2012 as the company has not planned any replacement for the car model. Thus, the upgrades include an improved equipment, styling changes, as well as a new trim level. Front fog light surrounds, chrome-effect door mirror covers and new "diamond cut" two-tone 16-inch alloy wheels that replace the previous 15 inchers, represent enhancements added to the Acenta model. The interior boasts different seat fabrics featuring blue stitching and the standard equipment incorporates climate control, automatic headlights and rain-sensitive wipers. Adding Bluetooth phone connection, USB connection, Aux-in, iPod gateway, a touch-screen "Connect" satellite navigation system with built in CD/radio, tinted rear windows together with rear parking sensors, the new N-TEC+ grade level is based on the Acenta. The 2012 MY offers the same engine line-up, integrating the 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter petrol units, as well as the 1.5-liter dCi diesel that delivers a combined economy figure of 67.3 mpg UK and 110 g/km of CO2 emissions. As sales are scheduled to begin early next month, the prices for the 2012 Note start at 11,200 pounds for the Visia, 13,000 pounds for the Acenta and 13,500 pounds for the new N-TEC+.
