The Note Aura, which goes beyond the conventional concept of a compact car that emphasizes cost performance and realizes high-quality and comfortable driving despite being a compact car, has become a popular car with orders exceeding 10,000 units within three weeks of its release. Why did Note Aura become so popular?The reason why Nissan Note won overwhelmingly in Japan Car of the Year 2021-2022

■ Futuristic and fashionable design, quiet and powerful driving is attractive

Based on the compact car "Note", the Note Aura has become a car that fully brings out the charm of e-POWER by improving the sensitivity quality such as the softness of the material and the comfort of the space. Isn't it true that one of the attractions is the design? When it comes to design, it's hard to find the correct answer because of different tastes, but the Note Aura has won the 2021 Good Design Award. Its body size is 4045 mm x 1735 mm x 1525 mm (total length x total width x total height). The overall width is 40mm wider than the notebook due to the volume of the fender, but other than that, it is the same. In the exterior, the big difference from the notebook is the "face". The grille design and LED headlight design have been changed to give the impression that the eyes are narrow and tight. Combining LED position lamps, headlamps, and sequential turn lamps, V-motion is created by lighting. The user may have felt that the newness of driving is expressed in an easy-to-understand face.

And the second is the elegant interior. The interior space is the same size as the notebook, but the seats, dashboard, armrests, and other parts that the user directly touches are made of tweed fabric that is also used in luxury suits, and the advanced drive assist display is used. A 12.3-inch LCD panel will be installed in the room. The stylish and futuristic interior space is extremely comfortable. This class tends to be a plastic that seems to be sticky, or a plastic that seems to be 100-yen, or a rugged and gorgeous interior, but it is calm anyway. And the other is to realize a comfortable moving space. Sound insulation measures are thoroughly applied to invisible parts such as the roof, doors, and front door glass, and if the "BOSE Personal Plus Sound System" with speakers embedded in the headrests of the driver's seat and passenger seat is set as an option, it will be rich. You can enjoy driving while listening to various sounds. As for the powertrain, the front wheel motors of both 2WD and 4WD have a maximum output of 100kW and a maximum torque of 300Nm. In addition, the 4WD has a rear wheel with a maximum output of 50kW and a maximum torque of 100Nm. The motor output of the front wheels is 15kW compared to the notebook, and the torque is improved by 20Nm, which is a comfortable run. When you actually hold the steering wheel, the Note Aura is so quiet that you forget the existence of the engine. It's as if you're driving a pure EV. If it is a Note Aura, even those who hesitate to purchase a pure EV because of charging equipment etc. will be able to enjoy a run close to that of a pure EV.
