Nissan has tweaked its Note supermini so its trim names mirror those of its Qashqai small family car.

Out goes S, SE and SVE trim names and in comes Visia, Acenta and Tekna. All models come with colour-coded bumpers and an MP3 auxiliary socket.

Visia
The price remains unchanged at £9999, but a safety pack, which adds curtain airbags and active head restraints, is available for £380.

Acenta
Acenta models cost £100 more than the SE models they replace, but come with Bluetooth phone operation with steering wheel-activated controls.

Tekna
Top-of-the-range Notes also increase by £100 and get the same kit upgrades as Acenta models.
