Nissan Motor today announced that the Nissan Note (facelift) has entered production in the company's plant in Oppama, Japan, ahead of its marketing launch in the first week of November. A brochure leak revealed that the Note e-Power X and e-Power Medalist hybrid variants are priced at 1,959,120 yen and 2,244,240 yen, respectively.

The brochure scans (attached below) offer a better look at the changes introduced, which include revised headlamps with projector lighting, Nissan’s V-motion grille with blue accent (hybrid only), redesigned lower grille and restyled bumper with larger fog lamps. The rear-end looks largely identical to the outgoing model, save for a new cluster design in the lamps and redesigned bumper.

The top-end e-Power Medalist variant will come with a Premium White interior package that includes dual tone white and brown leather upholstery, satin ivory trim garnish on the center console and door panel, leather-wrapped steering wheel and driver's seat armrest.
