If saving fuel is one of your primary concerns when it comes to buying a compact hatchback, then you might want to consider the Nissan Note e-Power, which packs in an innovative drivetrain that could prove to be the way of the future.

The Note e-Power features an electric motor that drives the wheels, but the batteries that power it are charged up by an onboard 1.2-litre petrol engine that serves as a generator of sorts. The result is a car that boasts electric car-like characteristics, but without the hassle of having to plug it into a charging point to charge it up.

With this setup, the car puts out 114hp and 280Nm of torque, which is just about adequate for daily driving. But as the car runs primarily on the electric motor, the Note makes for a very refined and quiet ride, with minimal noise intrusion from the engine. The official fuel consumption figure is quoted at 4.6L/100km, which is very achievable in regular driving.

As a compact hatchback, the Note just about passes muster. There’s adequate room all round, and the feature count is decent, with items such as lane keeping assist and autonomous emergency braking all present here. Prices start at S$101,800 with COE for the Lite variant, which gets you most of the goodies, while the Premium version (S$104,800 with COE) throws in Nappa leather upholstery and a snazzy set of alloy wheels.
