Enhancement on Nissan’s Micra
For the 2008 model year of Nissan Micra, one of the most celebrated and loved small cars in the auto market nowadays, the model will undergo revamp to modify its styling, add some Nissan parts to it and a new grade structure. All these will add to Micra’s value for money proposition. The same upgrades as the Micra hatchback will be given to the Micra Coupe-Convertible (C+C), and they will both be available for sale on the 1st of October.
Nissan will be celebrating its new model line-up by offering a special edition to would-be buyers for a limited time. Nissan calls its special version the ACENTA + on the hatchback version. Nissan produced this special version on the basis of the ACENTA but this will be sporting a 15-inch TEKNA styled alloy wheels, in-place of the steels. This will all be for an additional price of £200 on top of the standard cost of the ACENTA.
The enhancements that Nissan Micra underwent include changes on the front grill which is now coated in chrome surround, thus, giving it a fresher and cleaner look. The front headlights also now have a less profound profile to the parking aid. This made the headlights smoother and now features a light blue tint. The ACENTA also has the sport front bumpers that are seen on the 160SR and these bumpers have also been made standard on the Micra Coupe-Convertible.
With regards to the interior, it has been provided with a more conservative color treatment. When looking at new features of the Micra, it has an audible speed limit warning. Car owners can set their own maximum speed setting through the steering wheel. Once set, this will beep if they have already reached their own maximum speed setting. This will help them by warning them to reduce speed especially if they are driving in low-speed communities such as village, school area, hospitals, and the like. The C+C will also have a Bluetooth hands-free telephone system as its standard part, and an MP3 jock socket.
The engines available for the Micra are still the same. 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 (160SR and C+C only) petrol and a 1.5dCi diesel are available.
