Third-generation Nissan Note hatchbacks reached the Russian market through parallel import, all arriving in the top Aura trim level. A brand-new model carries a price around 1.9 million rubles, while samples with roughly 3,000 kilometers on the odometer sit about half that price. Dealers also offer to take away Nissan Remark on order, expanding the options for buyers looking to tailor a purchase to their preferences.
The most captivating aspect for enthusiasts lies in the powertrain configuration. In this setup, the internal combustion engine acts as a generator rather than driving the wheels directly. It recharges the battery, which then powers electric motors, delivering propulsion without relying on the combustion engine for torque. The engine displacement is 1.2 liters, and it can produce up to 82 horsepower in this mode, contributing to a distinctive hybrid-like operation without using a conventional hybrid badge.
Because of this arrangement, the third-generation Nissan Remark is offered with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options. Front-wheel-drive variants deliver 136 horsepower, while all-wheel-drive versions add an extra 68 horsepower from a motor on the rear axle. This combination results in surprisingly strong performance for a vehicle in its class, with dynamic acceleration and confident handling that can rival many premium rivals in real-world driving conditions.
