NISSANNote 2013 - 2017

　　Nissan introduced the second generation of the Note MPV at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in Europe, but sales started later that year.

　　Built on top of the same B-segment platform used on the Micra, the Note's second generation tried to provide more room and comfort in a shorter vehicle. In addition, unlike its predecessor, the second generation came with a better look, which made it stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, the small-segment MPV was not popular in many countries, and that was the last generation of the Note.

　　Unlike its predecessor, which had bland styling, the Note's second generation came with a V-shaped front fascia and swept-back headlights. In addition, the lower bumper received an A-shaped grille flanked by optional fog lamps. From its sides, the sculptured doors formed another dynamically looking element resembling a Japanese sword's tip. Finally, at the back, the tailgate was flanked by a pair of taillights with a complicated design that blended sharp angles and arched lines.

　　The cabin was roomy for four passengers, and even a fifth one could sit in the back on the split-folding bench. At the front, the driver and side passenger sat on high-mounted seats fronting a dashboard designed with waved shapes at the top. In addition, the center stack could've been optioned with an infotainment system that featured a touchscreen and navigation.

　　Under the hood, the Note received a choice of three engines, either gasoline or turbo-diesel, depending on the market. A CVT gearbox was available for the top-spec gasoline unit.
