How does the e-POWER system in the Nissan Note e-POWER work?

The Nissan Note e-POWER features the second-generation e-POWER system, where the petrol engine acts solely as a generator to charge the battery and does not directly drive the wheels. The wheels are driven 100% by the electric motor. This provides instant acceleration like an electric vehicle, but without the need for external charging – just fill up with petrol like a conventional car.

How much horsepower and torque does the Nissan Note e-POWER produce? Is acceleration adequate?

The Nissan Note e-POWER's electric motor produces 116 hp and a substantial 28.6 kg-m of torque. Full torque is available instantly from a standstill, delivering acceleration comparable to a traditional 2,500 c.c. engine. It provides effortless city driving, with plenty of power for starting off and overtaking, even on uphill sections.

Is the Nissan Note e-POWER fuel-efficient?

Very fuel-efficient. The Nissan Note e-POWER has a WLTC combined fuel consumption of 27.8 km/L, meaning it can travel nearly 28 kilometres on one litre of petrol.

Is charging the Nissan Note e-POWER troublesome?

No charging is required at all. The Nissan Note e-POWER is not a pure electric vehicle – its engine is only used to generate electricity. You never need to find a charging station or wait for a charge; just fill up with petrol like a normal car, eliminating any "range anxiety".

What driving modes does the Nissan Note e-POWER have? What is e-Pedal Step?

The Nissan Note e-POWER offers three driving modes: SPORT, ECO, and NORMAL. SPORT mode delivers sharper acceleration. It also features e-Pedal Step mode – when activated, pressing the accelerator makes the car go, and lifting off slows it down. This significantly reduces driver fatigue in stop-and-go city traffic.

What are the dimensions of the Nissan Note e-POWER? Is it difficult to park?

The Nissan Note e-POWER measures 4,055 mm in length, 1,695 mm in width, and 1,520 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,580 mm. At just 4 metres long, it is one of the shortest cars available in Hong Kong. Combined with its small turning radius, it is exceptionally easy to make U-turns on narrow streets and parallel park, making it ideal even for new drivers.

Is the cabin space of the Nissan Note e-POWER sufficient? How large is the boot?

The Nissan Note e-POWER offers class-leading interior space for a compact car, with comfortable seating for both front and rear passengers without feeling cramped. The standard boot capacity is 340 litres, which can be expanded by folding the rear seats flat – sufficient for a stroller, grocery shopping, or several suitcases. It also features patented "Zero Gravity Seats" that reduce fatigue on long journeys.

What safety features does the Nissan Note e-POWER have?

The Nissan Note e-POWER is equipped with the Nissan Intelligent Mobility safety system and features 9 airbags.

What is the positioning of the Nissan Note e-POWER?

The Nissan Note e-POWER is effectively a "charging-free electric vehicle", positioned as a fuel-efficient, practical, and easy-to-drive urban family hatchback. It combines the instant acceleration of an EV with the convenience of a petrol car (no charging required). Designed specifically for city environments like Hong Kong where space is tight, it targets young families, new drivers, and those seeking a fuel-efficient daily commuter.

Is the Nissan Note e-POWER suitable for Hong Kong users?

Combined with its practical interior space and comprehensive safety equipment (9 airbags plus Nissan's active safety systems), it is an excellent choice for new drivers, family commuters, and weekend trips alike.
