Nissan finally took the wraps off the fifth generation of the Micra at the ongoing Paris Motor Show. The all-new Nissan Micra takes its styling and design cues from the Sway Concept, which was shown earlier in the year. The front end gets Nissan's signature V Motion Grille, in sync with Nissan's new design language along with the floating roof and the boomerang-shaped headlamps. The Nissan Micra fifth gen will be available in 10 colours, plus there will be a variety of personalisation options as well.
(2017 Nissan Micra)As far as on board technology is concerned, the Nissan Micra fifth gen gets lane departure prevention, emergency braking with pedestrian recognition, traffic sign recognition, high beam assist, Blind spot warning and so on and so forth. Also, the top trim will feature a 6-speaker Bose Personal Sound System, which Nissan says, will change the in-car entertainment experience. The car also gets a 7-inch display which takes care of infotainment, connectivity and also gets Apple CarPlay.
"When the first Micra appeared more than 30 years ago, it marked a revolution in the small hatchback segment and opened a new chapter for Nissan. The fifth generation Micra is just as revolutionary, and will raise expectations for what a hatchback can, and should, deliver to its customers," said Carlos Ghosn, CEO, Nissan Motor Company.
(2017 Nissan Micra)The all-new Micra also comes fitted with Active Ride Control for better ride experience and Active Trace Control for controlling understeer and provide better handling. There will be two engine options on offer which are the 0.9-litre three-cylinder petrol motor, which is turbocharged and a 1.5-litre diesel unit. Both the engines produce a maximum of 90bhp. Later, Nissan will also be bringing in a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine which will make 73bhp. Nissan has also worked hard on the aerodynamics and it has a drag co-efficient of barely 0.29.
The fifth gen Nissan Micra will be manufactured at the Renault plant in Flins, France and the sales will begin from March, 2017. Unfortunately, Nissan has no plans of bringing the 5th generation Micra to India, at least for now.
