When it debuted in 2004, the Nissan Note was needed to fill a spot between the B- and C-segments. Two years later, it was on the roads of the UK. The second generation was unveiled in 2013 with major updates, but the Note didn't make it past the 2017 model year before it was discontinued in the UK.

First Generation (2006 to 2013)
The Renault-Nissan Alliance was responsible for the creation of the Nissan Note with its narrow hatchback design. Early models featured a short bonnet, tall body and swept-back headlights that gave it a distinctive look. Its small, compact size made it nimble and easy to park.
After just a couple of years, Nissan released a refresh to comply with Euro 5 regulations, creating lower CO2 emissions and more efficiency. The exterior appearance was also changed to include a reworked grille and chrome trim above the bumper.
