Hi all…!!!!!!! Let’s all welcome the new small car from Nissan to the world of small cars particularly in India. This small car poses a big competition to the entire small car manufacturer like Maruti, Hyndai and Ford. Now let us see something about the car.
The car features an incredible engine that churns out all the power and muscle. It isn't as bad as it seems though, especially when you start the engine and get driving. Under the Micra's cute hood is an 1198cc three-cylinder petrol engine that has sound pedigree on paper - 76PS @ 6000rpm and 104Nm @ 4000rpm. Nissan has done a good job with tuning the engine and has matched it well with the 5 speed manual gearbox to make the Micra peppy and very drivable.
Speaking of variants though, the Micra will be available in three. Starting off the range will be the base XE variant and when we say base, that's exactly what we mean. Next in line is the XL which slots between the XE and the top-of-the-line XV variants. This one comes with power windows front and rear, a nice music system, remote keyless entry and even includes a tachometer. The XV though, quite naturally comes loaded with goodies - intelligent key with push button ignition, fog lamps, climate control and electrically adjustable mirrors. It also has a front passenger airbag and ABS, EBD and brake assistance - the other two variants just get the driver airbag. All in all, the top variants is what will attract buyers the most, provided of course that it isn't exorbitantly priced, which we hope, for Nissan's sake it isn't!
