E-power gives new Nissan Note the edge

THE Nissan Note was Japan’s bestselling car last year as customers embraced its innovative E-POWER electrified powertrain, which also helped make the Nissan Serena the most popular minivan. Nissan sold 136 324 Note compact cars in Japan in the year to the end of December, topping registered vehicle sales rankings. The rankings exclude minivehicles and foreign brands.

The E-POWER system’s popularity helped the Note become the first Nissan model ever to take the fullyear sales crown. About 70% of Note customers opted for the system.
