The Nissan Note E12 appeared on the car market in 2012. European customers were surprised by some changes to this model, such as a completely new front end, a different engine range, and an upgraded chassis setup which improved the car’s handling. The exterior has got some sporty details, and the car itself has increased slightly in size. The embossed bumper ensures safety for all passengers of the Nissan Note E12. It is able to pick up a person’s legs and drop the victim on the bonnet in case of an accident. The unusual shape of the headlights, coquettishly “staring” at the customer, is pleasing to the eye.

The front fascia is ergonomically contoured and the interior is made from quality materials. Useful options the future owner of this model will also find: climate control, upgraded steering wheel, equipped with buttons on the blocks, and controlling the comfort system and more.
Inside the car is a 1.2 litre petrol engine producing 98 horsepower.

Can I use a different CVT fluid than the recommended one in my Nissan Nissan Note E12?

Nissan Nissan Note E12 keeps needing coolant topped up, what’s wrong?

If the reservoir empties often or the coolant level drops repeatedly, the Nissan Nissan Note E12 owner’s manual says this points to a cooling system problem, not normal use.

• Coolant level below MIN in the reservoir
• Petrol models: radiator also low when reservoir is empty
• Cooling system frequently requires topping up
