Nissan brought some important changes to the Note model for 2008.
The restyled compact car featured new headlights, hood, grille and bumper at the exterior and a revised instrument panel at the interior. The car was also available with 2WD and 4WD configurations, while also featuring more economical engines. The HR15DE 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine has been revised, as well as the XTRONIC CVT gearbox. Nissan also introduced the revised model with a new ‘Plus navi HDD’ upgrade (optional). The new Note was available for purchase as early as January 16, 2008.
