Nissan's Micra takes city driving to another level

Nissan's Micra takes city driving to another level

The iconic Micra is one of Nissan's bestselling cars and it is easy to see why – it is chic, dependable and very affordable.

This latest edition takes everything that is good about the model and gives it a 21st century edge.

Delivering extraordinary fuel economy, more space and lower emissions, the Micra is a smart investment for drivers looking for a reliable city car.

The design is less "rounded" than earlier versions, with the most recent revamp presenting a much sharper look, as if it has suddenly acquired a new and confident attitude.

Although it is equipped with a 1.2-litre engine, modest when compared to bigger cars, you wouldn't know it – it feels like it has a lot of power beneath the bonnet.

The interior of the car is surprisingly chic, with Nissan investing heavily in an ambitious aesthetic that gives the Micra a deluxe feel.

This helps to make this very practical vehicle an exciting edge, which is a characteristic that has grown in prominence since it first launched in 1982.
