My wife bought one of these late last year. Its an absolute hoot to drive on a tight, twisty road. Real world fuel economy is about 4.5L/100kms, mix urban and highway (with very steep hills). Back seat room is just ridiculous, and is something i still cant get over! You can also get a false boot floor that makes the load space flat with the back seats down. 100% the best 'hybrid' hot hatch on the used market.

[@johncollins1969]

Can you do long highway trips? When the battery is depleted out on the open road, what it the economy and performance like?

[@xrand0mx]

@johncollins1969 battery never gets depleted. The little 3 cylinder kicks in to charge it whenever you have your foot in it - and it will raise the rpm depending how much drain the little battery is experiencing.

Luckly in New Zealand, getting a grey import is actually normal. Most cars that come into the country are grey imports. Just about all car dealers, including brand dealerships are licenced importers. But for some reason, most of the imports they sell, they leave the cars with their original infotainment system, which is in Japanese. Imports are popular here as they are cheaper than an NZ New car and offer a wide range of options. Even European cars get imported from Japan.

[@seltaeb3302]

Watching NZ road cop shows, virtually all the cars are near ancient & look like from the 1980s until the credits roll & it's from the Noughties.

Great review Adam 👏 I’ve been waiting for this and I did mention it to you guys a month or 2 ago, I even offered you mine as a test car but I’m in Brissy 😜 I’ve got the “Nismo S model” (They are 30% faster than a standard model Nismo Note) Very quick !! I have the same as the one u just tested but in Gunmetal Grey (same colour as the R35 GTR, with the Nismo Recaro seats that are as comfortable on a short trip as a long trip and I’m 109kg. (Recaro seats are made in conjunction with the German Chiropractic Association) that’s why they are the worlds best seats! Your totally right, these are the future! I’ve gone from Gtr skylines,diesel vans, AMG Mercedes, Lexus isf (still have it) as well as many other imports to daily driving a Nismo note S. For $50-$60 I’m getting 1,100-1.200 klms per tank and not always driving it on the speed limit. I’ll get 1,300 on a highway run. Amazing cars jam packed with tech. I’ve got HKS Coilovers, aftermarket sway bars, carbon front splitter rolling on standard Nismo rims wrapped in Bridgestone adrenaline Re003 sticky tyres and I live on top of a mountain so u can imagine the fun im having as a daily driver! Quiet, reliable, uses no fuel with that much torque. Like you said ,someone F**ked up at Nissan and forgot to put these on the list at Nissan Australia. I was actually at the 20th Nismo festival at Mt Fuji speedway in 2017 when they launched the Nismo Note along with the Nismo Leaf, R35 GTR and the Nismo Duke. When I arrived back to Australia after that trip I actually called Nissan Australia and asked why they didn’t release the Nismo Note here and I was told “Australia isn’t ready for these yet”? I’m taking mine to Lakeside for a track day soon, will let you know the lap times I get out if it. Why wouldn’t you want one??? Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it . Thanks Re-Driven ❤

[@geoffhall6885]

These cars are great. I have a Nismo Limited Edition Black Model. There were 100 made I believe. Very expensive and hard to find in Japan. Need the optional Recaro seats to complete a perfect combination. The Recaro optional seats are VERY expensive in Japan. I have had a Nismo since 2017, and my average fuel use is 20 km. / liter. Quick and economical. I use Dunlop 050 performance tyres, 205/55 x 16 tyres, and the grip is exceptional , especially in the wet. I also have an AUTECH 4WD with all optional extras. A real blast on the Alpine ski roads of NZ. Average for 5000km with a long roofbox, was 15 km per liter. Very good cars. The S models I have imported get sold in minutes of being advertised.

Great car, hugely well specced from japan, i have the standard model, not nismo. The anti collision system is great, it brakes if it thinks you might hit a car, with beeps warning first.

Completely agree with the need of less powerful, more affordable and preferably lighter hot hatches. I have a Hyundai i30n performance and I’m going to sell it because I can’t really drive it fast anywhere a part from a race track.

Up until the most recent models, It basically has the same motor as the 2013-2022 Nissan Leaf, but only around a 1.8 kWh battery mounted under the front seats and smaller generator motor. Both the battery and motor can combine to power the main drive motor, or just the battery. The battery is charged by the 1.2L motor and from the main drive motor when slowing down and getting regen. It is a pity that they don't put about an 8 kWh battery in it and a plug so show trips could be all electric. From about $26K and up, it's EV cousin the 2018 or newer used Nissan Leaf can be purchased, it has local support, and can do around 200-250 Km real world range on a charge. For around $40K, there is also the BYD Dolphin, MG4, and GWM Ora EVs available with 300+ Km.

General rule, buy the absolute newest, low km version you can find. If you don't want sporty but want luxury, get the Autech version - the seats alone are so nice. Plus...early 1300km range and a refill might cost you $80 or so. That is nuts! It also looks like Nissan Australia have dumped plans to bring in the current model, which means super low km versions of the current body style are available for import and come with the Nissan ProPilot adaptive cruise control system. I've yelled at Nissan a few times now to bring this in, along with the Kicks, Serena, Elgrand and a few other cars as low volume specials, but they seem determined to shoot themselves in the foot. If they can source production from Thailand in RHD, then it'll make for a more compelling business case as they'll sell bucketloads, especially in a fuel sensitive market.

I'm currently driving a Fiesta ST and while it's fun and very quick I've always wanted an EV and this just ticks all the boxes, it's affordable, not that more expensive than my Fiesta. Unlike the leaf it's not range limited or double the price plus would be faster and more fun and while I love Hondas, this looks quite good for a Nissan. I've also considered the outlander phev which has a similar EV generator drive system but it's AWD systems fail at the worst times when driving off road so I'm excited to see how the new GWM Tank hybrid reviews off road.

Love these cars but real world economy is higher (up to 4-5L/100km) but the biggest problem overall, the price. I think these upper models are horrendously overpriced for what they are. They're priced at or above really good hot hatches or a decent used EV (Tesla 3, Kona, brand new MG4) can be had for ~$40k. If they were sold in Aus new, the used price would be far more reasonable and easier to trust the odometer. Major missed opportunity for Nissan not selling it here or offering an e-power leaf. These are undoubtedly an amazing super mini size hot hatch but they're just not worth the price. I'd never spend more than $20k for any spec upto a Nismo with ~$2-3k premium for a Nismo S. On odometers, Japanese sellers are notorious for winding back odometers when they know its being exported, don't buy without a certified odometer. The car most notorious for it being done to was Z11 cubes. There was no such thing as a Z11 cube with 50k lol, they were well used family hacks that got driven regularly. Easier to just assume when looking at a Z11 that the odometer is twice as high.

The e-power system of Nissan is not available in the USA. It is available in Mexico. The base idea is great. The model I have an interest in is the Nissan Kicks e-power. I am a US citizen and a permanent resident of Mexico. The Nissan Kicks in Mexico has only a 2 KwH battery and no plug-in. I figure it can go about 7 Km on battery alone. A larger battery and charging from home electricity option would convert my interest into a sale. This seems to me to be a less complex hybrid.

[@ReDriven]

You’re welcome!

[@Scypher0th]

i hate living in N/A we never get good vehicles only oversized shit boxes called CUV's and Trucks

[@TheHayabusa09]

I probably overlooked it, but what is the engine power output; Is it the same as the Leaf?

[@KevinSan88]

100kw & 320Nm for the Nismo S

[@Mexxx65]

How much power and torque does it have? How much does it weight? Wheel and tire size?

[@KevinSan88]

100kw, 320Nm, 1250kg, 16x6.5+45, 195/55-16 😊

[@ebsvo83]

One in video is 100kw 320 nm around 1200 kg on 16in rim

[@ABurtonB]

Under the video player, you can hit ‘more’ and it should expand the description

Hey @Redriven - What Octane rating fuel does this car use?

[@tomy8339]

That was the best voiceover you've done yet! 　ようあれぬｍゔぇろね

[@laureus31]

I think Nissan is still trying to figure out battery thermo management systems, ever since Leaf.

[@paulklp8262]

E-power exists for the new X Trail now.

[@theairstig9164]

Worse economy than the base model

[@eurotom288]

I think you can still get these Nismo Notes with the 1.6 petrol engine with a 5 speed gearbox, it’s the model I would prefer guys.

[@joeyzhang876]

The hand rest are optional, doesn’t come with mine.

[@glennp1690]

Would I buy one?? fuck yes. Will I buy one?? Fuck no....... Why not you ask?? "MONEY" I don't have enough of it, I'm sure I speak for many people at the moment but I simply do not earn that much money. Such is life said Ned ;)

You can avoid the convenience tax if you are willing to use an import broker - around 24k landed with compliance

[@MrMoth0102]

l suspect this won't age very well but if you can keep it immaculate as it ages it might surprise you and retain plenty of value. Too small for me but it would be considered for the wife's shopping cart.

[@Xencer]

You can avoid all the nissan reliability woes by getting a manual transmission

[@vinckokeccee1352]

how much power? i didn't get any specs

[@KevinSan88]

100kw & 320Nm
