A warm hatch was launched with a 117PS 1.0-litre DIG-T engine. All the final suspension and steering development was undertaken in the UK and the Nissan Micra makes light work of uneven, potholed British roads. It can’t match the class best (such as the Ford Fiesta) for handling, but it’s composed nonetheless.

Indeed. It’s hard to remember such a transformation. Where the last Micrawas a global car built in India, the new one is a Euro-focused package, designed in Tokyo and London, and built at a Renault factory in Paris. It’s a striking car, considerably better-looking than the dullard that went before. Granted, it’s quite fussy in that over-styled Japa...
Underpinning those svelte looks is a heavily updated version of the last Micra’s architecture. Improvements come in the steering system borrowed from the Qashqaiand the rear suspension has been heavily beefed up, for a stiffer response from the beam axle. Choose from a trio of engines at launch: 1. 0.9 Three-cylinder turbocharged petrol, 89bhp, 110...
Climb onboard and the cabin is leagues ahead of its predecessor. The front seats are firm but comfy; upgrade to the excellent £500 Bose sound system and the driver has speakers installed in the head restraint (see below), for an impressively immersive stereo. We can’t think of a better audio experience in a supermini. Build quality is impressive an...
We tested both the turbocharged petrol and diesel launch models and they’re nicely judged. Hardly any Brits will buy the oil-burner (the price differential hampers diesel superminis in the UK) and although it’s a refined engine with excellent eco credentials (CO2 falls as low as 85g/km), we’d recommend the petrol engine instead. It’s a tiny downsiz...
Our car rode on 16in alloy wheels which gave a well-cushioned ride; it feels like a stiff structure, and the steering responses are well weighted. The outgoing Fiestais still the best car in class to drive, but the Micra no longer relegates driving pleasure at the expense of bean-counting. Interestingly, the new Micra uses the brakes to trim handli...
Priced from £11,995, the Micra is on the supermini money. PCP punters can pick up a 1.0-litre Visia from £169 a month in the UK (we haven’t tested the potentially weedy nat-asp 1.0 yet, though) and there’s a new car sharing club aimed at getting youngsters to pool their Micras. Remember to stick with smaller rims if you want to trim your tax bills;...
It’s mission accomplished with the new Nissan Micra. The unpredictable product pendulum in Tokyo has swung back to interesting again – and that’s surely cause for celebration. We can safely recommend it once more. Click here for more Nissan car reviews

Nov 13, 2017 · The Nissan Micra S is “simplified with added lightness”, to slightly twist the words of one Colin Chapman. Tipping the scale at seven stones over 1,000 kg, the Micra is a featherweight by today’s standards. This explains why the 4-cylinder 1.6-litre’s 109 horsepower and 107 lb.-ft. of torque are more than enough for fun times.
