Nissan's UK-built Note supermini-MPV has already found more than 100,000 British buyers, and the vehicle is receiving further upgrades for 2012.

The Acenta model has more equipment. The exterior has new 'diamond cut' two-tone 16-inch alloy wheels, replacing the original 15 inchers, chrome-effect door mirror covers and front fog light surrounds.

There's new seat fabric, while climate control, automatic headlights and rain-sensitive wipers all now come as standard.

Moving up the range, the N-TEC, in addition to the Acenta specification, in new N-TEC+ form incorporates rear parking sensors. As with the N-TEC, darkened rear privacy glass and the touch screen 'Connect' satellite navigation system also feature.

The 'Connect' system also provides a full digital music connectivity package with built in CD/radio, iPod gateway, Aux-in, USB connection and Bluetooth phone connection.

Prices start at £11,200 for the Visia, with the new Acenta at £13,000 and the new N-TEC+ a further £500.

The engine line-up continues with the 1.4, 1.6 petrol and 1.5dCi power units. The Pure Drive badged 1.5dCi emits a CO2 level of 110g/km with a combined economy figure of 67.3mpg.

The first of the new Notes will reach dealers in early February.
