The Nissan Note (Nissan Versa Note in the USA) has been rumoured to receive a hybrid powertrain for the past year. Now, new images published on livedoor Blog seems to have revealed the alleged Nissan Note Hybrid's promotional material, hinting at an imminent domestic (Japanese) launch.

The petrol engine will do just one job, recharge the car's battery pack used to generate electric power for the wheels. The fuel economy figure is said to be close to 40 km/l.

Apparently the visual changes include redesigned headlamps, new V-motion grille, reshaped lower grille and restyled bumper with bigger fog lamps.The profile seems to have remained unchanged, while the rear-end may feature new tail lights and restyled bumper.

The 2017 Nissan Note (facelift) could be launched in the international markets in the first half of next year.
