How many Nissan Notes are left in New Zealand?
Common 1 in 163 on the road Built 2004-2025 Japanese import
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
A tall small hatchback launched in Japan at the start of 2005, roomier than the March it was based on. The second generation brought a supercharged three-cylinder, and in 2016 the e-Power version, in which the petrol engine only generates electricity and an electric motor drives the wheels. That made it one of Japan's best-selling cars.
