Being in tune with the time, Nissan tweaked both 1.6-litre petrol and 1.5-litre dCi diesel to reduce emissions and boost fuel economy.
What they’ve done is revise gear ratios, but that seemingly subtle change results in gaining nearly 3 mpg. It also results in savings of up to £232.47 over three years, but that, three years – 200 quids, is not really something to brag about.
The 1.6-litre petrol variant now returns 47.1mpg on the combined cycle – an improvement of 2.3mpg – and emits just 139g/km of CO2, a reduction of 8g/km. As for the diesel, fuel economy improved from 55.4mpg to 57.6mpg on the combined cycle, and emissions fall from 134g/km to just 129g/km.
