The updated Nissan Note brought into the light hybrid e-Power – Autoreview

Most hybrid vehicles have a parallel scheme of the power plant: drive wheels are both internal combustion engine and an electric motor. A consistent scheme is not so much. The point is, torque is delivered to the wheels exclusively by the electric motor and the internal combustion engine works in generator mode to recharge the traction battery. A power plant, for example, have small-scale of the BMW i3 and Fisker Karma. But now appeared the first mass-consistent hybrid — microwin Nissan Note with the power plant e-Power, which may soon appear in other models of the Alliance Renault Nissan.

Hybrid pyatidverka is driven by the electric motor from the hatchback Nissan Leaf: it is installed instead of the transmission and rotates the front wheels. Rated power — 95 HP peak 109 HP, but the thrust reaches 254 Nm — as a petrol turbo engine capacity of 1.4—1.6 l Maximum torque available already at the start, so hybrid Note needs to be quite frisky, despite the 140-pound weight gain in running order it weighs a minimum of 1445 kg.

Regular aspirated three-cylinder 1.2 with a power of 79 BHP saved, but now he manages the electronics: connection with accelerator pedal no therefore, by living their lives the motor will have to get used to.

Powerplant would fit under the hood, and the traction battery is located under the front seats. Its capacity is almost twenty times less than the all-electric Bodice, that is just 1.5 kWh, so on pure electricity for such a Note does not go far. Passport fuel consumption is 2.7 to 2.9 l/100 km depending on the equipment, but it will be significantly more. The base hybrid is equipped with truncated fuel tank volume 35 l, and a full tank of 41 liters is offered for a fee.

In the Japanese market offered only a version with a CVT, but beznadejnoe the pyatidverka can be ordered with all-wheel drive. Improved insulation in the front and the rear.
