First customers receive their new Nissan Micra.
Indeed, more than 6,000 Micras will be delivered to showrooms and forecourts for customers and for those who placed their orders back in December, they will be first in the queue.

Built in France, the new vehicle is wider, longer and lower than previous models and Nissan says it is ‘simply a revolution’.
While that’s a stretch, it would be true to say that it’s much better than the model it replaces and delivers an exciting car – much like the debut vehicle did 34 years ago.
There’s a new high-quality cabin that comes with two-tone soft touch materials and a contemporary look to the design.

Along with many of its rivals in the segment, the new Micra has a lengthy options list to help deliver personalisation including changes to the interior and exterior and a wide range of contemporary paint schemes.
Available with three engines, the Micra has a 0.9 litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine which has been downsized but delivers 90 PS, a 1.5 litre diesel unit producing 90 PS and a naturally aspirated 1.0 litre petrol engine producing 73 PS. All are economical cars to run.
