Nissan is doing its best to get European drivers to notice and choose the Nissan Micra. Three new powertrain options that each offer better control and handling have been introduced. Drivers can now opt for an all-new turbocharged petrol engine that boasts improved efficiency; a sharper-steering “warm hatch;” and the UK-specific powertrain that features a new Xtronic automatic to support the all-new turbocharged petrol engine. A new trim level, the Micra N-Sport offers drivers a unique design for drivers.

“With a greater focus on efficiency and performance, these new models further broaden the appeal of the Nissan Micra,” said Helen Perry, general manager, small cars, Nissan Europe. “We are now in a position to better meet the needs of Europe’s compact hatchback customers.”
Made possible through the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, these new additions to the Micra lineup offer European drivers more power and upgraded design.
According to the automaker, “Micra is one of Nissan’s most famous and long-standing nameplates worldwide following the launch of the first generation model in 1982. Since then each update has been refining the “Micra formula” to create a version unlike any that have gone before.”

The new features enhance the visual appeal and convenience of the Micra, and provide an excellent driving experience. The New Micra will add a dash of liveliness to the driving experience for our customers.”
