The 2011 Nissan Micra is small-car engineering, the all-new unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The new Micra has been designed to build on that trend stylish, accessible compact � in 160 countries. Developed and built on Nissan�s all-new V-platform, which was developed under a comprehensive new production engineering process. Sales of the new Nissan Micra will start in Thailand in March and European sales will begin in November 2010.
It�s has compact dimensions, the new car is slightly longer and marginally lower, while its longer wheelbase enables a �wheels-at-each-corner� stance, the main reason behind the Nissan Micra�s roomier interior. The boomerang-shaped grooves on the roof have a clearly defined purpose too, continues Yamane. Aiming to create the same sense of exterior style inside the car, Nissan has employed a �connected cocoon� design featuring a dashboard design which takes on a �twin bubble� theme. This refers to the circular instrumentation binnacle and the similarly shaped glovebox compartment on the passenger side.
In engine of Nissan Micra is a simple engine line-up sees just two engines options � both are variations on Nissan�s all-new naturally aspirated HR12 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine. Inheriting its DNA from the HR16 4-cylinder engine powering the Note and Qashqai, the new engine employs valve-timing control (VTC). Power is rated at 59kW (80ps, while torque output is 108Nm. At only 115g/km, CO2 emissions for this version are world-class. Nissan will also offer a supercharged 1.2-litre direct injection iteration with a start-stop system fitted as standard in Europe. These technological innovations � stop-start reduces CO2 by six per cent � combine to offer spirited performance, with outputs of 72kW (98PS) and 142Nm of torque. Emissions will be just 95g/km, an exceptional achievement for a petrol engine.
