2017 Nissan Micra at the 2016 Paris Motor Show

Speaking of the exterior, the new Micra's styling is not too far off from the Nissan Sway concept, which is a good thing. As easily noticeable, the new Micra has grown in size. It measures 3,995 mm (+170 mm) in length, 1,742 mm (+77 mm) in width and 1,452 mm in height (-69 mm), and has a wheelbase of 2,525 mm (+75 mm).

The interior design looks nearly similar to the Nissan Kicks. It features body color-coordinated trim panels on the dashboard, new multifunction steering wheel, 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with satellite navigation and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration compatibility and 6-speaker Bose Personal sound system.

The new Micra will be available with the 90 hp 0.9 TCe three cylinder engine, 73 hp 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 90 hp 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine. It comes equipped with Nissan’s Active Ride Control and Active Trace Control for reduced understeer and sharper handling. These features are sourced from the Nissan Qashqai.
