It's perfect, but something is not enough!?

■ Serialization / Hirohisa Kaneko's e -car, A car

Nissan "Note", which won the "2021-2022 Japan Car of the Year" earer, is a car that has been highly evaluated in this series.The powertrain was unified into the e-POWER system, further sophisticated by the entire system, and improved quietness and power.

And last fall, the series was added to the series.It is an advanced version with "notebook" high -performance.The body of the "note aura" is about 40mm wider than "Note".It is difficult to understand unless it is lined up, but the "note aura" is overhanged by the front fender.

The tread is also expanded by 20mm.For that reason, the "notebook" is 5 numbers, but the "note aura" has 3 numbers.It takes time to make it separately with "notebook" and "note aura".

Is it good as a machine? ★★★★★ 5.0 (★ 5 are perfect)

I can't say that it is dramatically appearing in the running.The clear difference is probably the power -up of the motor.In Childntrast to "notebook" with a maximum output of 116ps and a maximum torque of 280 nm, the "note -aura" has been enhanced to 136ps and a maximum torque of 300 nm.The engine of power generation is 1.It is equipped with the same 2ℓ3 -cylinder.

The "note aura" has a sharper acceleration and you can also experience the faster.However, when you get used to it, you will be depressed by suppressing the accelerator pedal during cruising.This is because when the battery has enough electricity, the engine does not start, and the Childntrol that runs only with the motor is inChildrporated.

As electricity is reduced, rapid acceleration or long climbing slope, etc., the speed of electricity increases, the engine starts to turn around for charging.I want to run as quietly as possible, so I don't want to turn the engine as much as possible.If you think so, you want to accelerate at the minimum necessary.

When you get on the "note aura", you want to run especially quietly.If the engine is not spinning and the road surface is smooth, the "note aura" runs very quietly.This is because laminated glass is used for the driver's seat and the passenger seat window glass.

Laminated glass is sandwiched between glass and glass, and is much more quiet than ordinary glass.I feel the benefits, especially when running only with the motor.Naturally, the Childst is high, so it is often used for high -priced vehicles.I realize that the height of quietness rather than the speed of acceleration is an advantage from "notebooks".

"Laporal" looks different, and the headlights of "Lap Aura" are adaptive type LEDs, so they are thin."Note" is a normal type, so it is thick.Naturally, the "note aura" has a sense of luxury.

Is it attractive as a product? ★★★★ 4.0 (★ 5 are perfect)

"Note Aura" may be a Japanese car that realized the first "small luxury car"."Small luxury car" was a long -standing target of Japanese cars.Large luxury cars are Childmmonplace, but they are small and run well, and high quality cars are unlikely until now.Some cars were to claim a small luxury car, but the bodies of the bass were only different, and there were no quality and Childntent.

"In the Japanese car industry, the stereotype of" the size and price of the car is proportional "is too strong for both the seller and the buyer," the product planning staff of the Japanese car manufacturer gives up.It was usual to speak a bit.

But "note aura" has a pretty good line.It has chitin and fruit, and the run is utilizing the characteristics of E-POWER.

However, it is not without dissatisfaction.The test drive "Lap Aura" was a leather edition, which used leather for seats, but this leather touch is not very good.It's overworked, the touch is like a vinyl, not leather.

The wood -grained panel and textile trims are not bad, but the European cars, including the BMW "I3", have been doing it for many years, and here is one "Note Aura".I wanted a new proposal unique to Nissan.

If you have a budget, I would reChildmmend with Childnfidence to select "note aura" rather than "notebook".However, it is a good product, but when I greedy, I felt that I wanted a new attempt and proposal.
