in Early 2017, Nissan will stop producing in Europe the Note. This model, which hesitates between hatchback and small mpv, it can no longer be sold in us. In cause : the arrival of a new Micra, larger and more versatile.
The days are numbered for the Note. Nissan will stop production of this model in its plant in Sunderland (Uk) in the spring of next year. The Note will be still assembled in Japan and Mexico, but the brand has no intention of doing imports. The Note will therefore be removed from the european catalogue. There are two reasons for this decision.
first : to the low volumes of sales. In the first eight months of the year, only 24 800 Note have been made at Sunderland, against 33 038 on the equivalent period in 2015. The Note suffers from the competition of crossovers. His brother Juke is its main rival !
Appeared in 2010, it was initiated before the second release of the Note, unveiled in the course of 2012. Nissan did not, however, intended to exclude the Note of its european range. With its 4.10 meters in length, it could attract those who found the old Micra too small (3,83 m) and the Juke too risky or not enough practice.
The second explanation of this announced death is the renewal of the Micra. The manufacturer has just revealed the World of the Automobile a auto review in-depth, more mature and more versatile, which pays more attention to its design and its presentation. Especially, the fifth Micra extent to 4.01 metres in length. The coup de grace for the Note !
This end-of-life will be a good news for people in search of a city price canon : Nissan is expected to price within a few months.
