The 2016 Nissan Note is a compact hatchback that strikes a smart balance between efficiency, interior space, and city practicality. For urban commuters in Nairobi or those needing a reliable car that’s easy to maintain, the Note delivers strong value.
Under the hood, most 2016 Note models are powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine delivering about 98 hp and around 155 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT automatic transmission in many variants. Its light frame and engine make it nimble in stop-and-go traffic, while fuel economy is impressive — many users report 15-22 km/L in mixed city/highway driving. There are also diesel versions (1.5 dCi) in some markets, which deliver even lower fuel consumption figures for longer highway runs.
Inside, the cabin is surprisingly roomy for its class. The raised roof and clever packaging give good headroom and rear passenger comfort even for adults. The boot space is generous, and folding rear seats make it flexible for shopping, luggage, or daily errands. Standard features often include power windows, air conditioning, keyless entry, USB/AUX input, cloth upholstery, and a user-friendly dashboard layout.
On the safety front, the 2016 Note comes equipped with multiple airbags (front, side, and curtain in many trims), ABS brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), traction control, stability control, and in higher-end models, a rear-view camera or parking sensors. These features make it suitable for driving in diverse Kenyan road conditions—traffic, rain, and rough surfaces.
For Kenyan buyers, the 2016 Nissan Note offers solid value for money. It’s affordable to maintain, has good spare parts availability, and performs well for both city driving and occasional longer trips.
