The so-called “limited edition” is, in fact, an appearance package. To name the most eye-catching enhancements on the list, the 2016 Nissan Note Black Edition adds sportier bumpers at the front and rear, similarly sporty side skirts, as well as black bezel headlights for that little extra visual punch.Look even closer and you’ll spot that a black spoiler adorns the rear of the Note, albeit this is a front-wheel-drive car that doesn’t need additional downforce on the rear axle. Other aesthetic upgrades unique to the Black Edition include 16-inch alloy wheels finished in black, black door handles, and black side mirror caps. Nissan insists that there’s “a new high-quality finish to the B- and C-pillars, which frame the rear passenger door windows,” albeit I can hardly tell what's what.On the inside, the 2016 Nissan Note Black Edition boasts a gloss black center console, also known as a magnet for fingerprints. The gear shift knob is also adorned with black trim. The Black Edition theme continues with the headliner which, as you might have guessed it by now, is finished in black. Like it’s always the case with special editions in this segment, there’s a lot of extras you can enhance this MPV with.Options include automatic air conditioning, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights and fog lamps, a touchscreen infotainment system, as well as i-Key remote access and go technology. In terms of engines, Black Edition models can be matched to two units: a Renault-developed 1.5-liter turbo diesel with 90 PS or a 1.2-liter four-banger with 80 or 98 PS. Only the 1.2-liter engine can be conjoined with abox.
