Nissan Note 2013–2016 car dimensions: 4100 mm long, 1695 mm wide and 1530 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,040 kg. Braked towing is 430 kg.
The Visia grade has a straightforward cabin with a CD player, four speakers, USB socket, cruise control with speed limiter, electric front windows, trip computer, daytime running lights and 60/40 split rear seats as standard. Air conditioning is optional. A 5.8-inch touchscreen with navigation appears on higher grades. Blind spot warning, lane departure warning and Around View Monitor with reversing camera form the Safety Shield pack, standard on Tekna and optional on Acenta.
Boot space measures 325 litres with the rear seats in place. An underfloor area adds storage. Higher grades with the sliding rear bench reach 411 litres seats up. Folding the seats flat opens 1495 litres.
Towing is capped at 430 kg braked or unbraked on the 1.2 petrol Visia, or 450 kg on the diesel. Payload reaches 470 kg. The flexible boot suits light everyday loads but the low towing limit restricts heavier trailer use.
The cabin feels surprisingly spacious and practical with a refined layout. Front seats sit high with cloth trim on Visia. Rear passengers get good headroom and legroom plus 60/40 split-folding seats. Storage is plentiful throughout. Higher grades add sliding rear bench and optional glass roof for more light.
