Nissan launched the updated Note Aura NISMO with an engaging new 4WD variant, styling refinements and enhanced functionality to customers in Japan.
The Aura NISMO is based on the Aura, a premium compact car sold in the Japan market, powered exclusively by Nissan’s innovative e-POWER drivetrain.
The updated Aura NISMO delivers a high-performance driving experience through specialized tuning that draws on NISMO’s racing expertise, together with styling that balances aerodynamic performance and modern design aesthetics.
NISMO tuned e-POWER 4WD variant delivers enhanced performance: A new NISMO tuned e-POWER 4WD variant is available, featuring a NISMO tuned electric 4WD system. Compared to the standard Aura 4WD model, the rear motor of the NISMO tuned e-POWER 4WD is improved to deliver 10Kw increased output and an additional 50Nm of torque, along with specialized tuning for front and rear drive distribution. This enables the NISMO tuned e-POWER 4WD to provide drivers with enhanced cornering performance and ensures superior control on slippery surfaces such as wet or snowy roads.
The NISMO tuned e-POWER 4WD variant is equipped with unique lightweight 17-inch aluminium wheels that have been engineered to reduce air pressure within the wheel wells and generate downforce when in motion.
Refreshed design yields aerodynamic improvements: With the introduction of NISMO tuned e-POWER 4WD, the Aura NISMO exterior design has been refined to enhance aerodynamic performance. A refreshed NISMO-exclusive front grille features a flush design that balances cooling performance and reduced air resistance. At the rear, a new bumper features air splitters to enhance air flow along the sides of the body, while a layered diffuser, directs airflow smoothly from underneath the vehicle, helping to reduce air resistance.
The updated Aura NISMO is available in seven colors, including a two-tone color scheme based on exclusive NISMO Stealth Gray, the signature color available for all NISMO road car models.
Enhanced functionality: The updated Aura NISMO adopts electronic adjustment for the standard driver’s seat. Additionally, optionally available, NISMO-optimized Recaro sports seats, for customers seeking a sportier experience, now feature electronically adjustable, recline, enhancing user friendliness.
A Bose Personal Plus sound system is now offered as an optional feature for Aura NISMO buyers.
