Nissan announces winter deals

Japanese car manufacturer Nissan has announced details of financial plans designed to "warm the cockles of your heart" this winter.

Among the deals are a three-year servicing offer on the company's Note models, at a cost of £299.

The company is also offering a 0% finance deal with a 30 per cent deposit - with both offers available for the next three months.

According to Nissan the Note MPV "offers the comfort and practicality of a C-segment car matched to the agility and easy driving qualities of a supermini".

The vehicle comes with four trim levels - Visia, Acenta, Acenta R, and Tekna - plus a 88 PS 1.4 litre or 110 PS 1.6 litre petrol engine.

The Qashqai, which has sold 17,554 units in the UK to date, also receives a financial incentive to bolster sales.

Models featuring the all-mode four-wheel drive system are available with a three year 0% finance deal, again with a 30 per cent deposit.

Alternatively customers can take a Qashqai of their choice (including all two-wheel drive models) through Nissan's own personal contract plan known as Preferences - with a low rate finance of 5.9% APR.

For those thinking ahead to warmer weather, there are also deals to be had on the Micra C+C.

Again, 0% finance is offered over a three-year period on all models with the exception of the entry level Visia grade.

Prices start at £14,400 for the 1.6-litre Acenta rising to £15,645 for the range-topping 1.6-litre Active Luxury model.

All deal are available until March 31st.
