Nissan Micra prices and specifications announced

Nissan has revealed the prices and specifications for its facelifted Micra. The three-model range will hit UK showrooms in September, with prices starting from £9950 for the entry level Visia model. 

The range has been given a thorough styling overhaul, with new lights and Juke-style front grille. The car also gets a new and rounded rear, with redesigned bumper and LED tail-lights.

There’s two three-cylinder engines to choose from - both 1.2-litre petrols - and the standard unit offers 80PS with a claimed 57mpg. Those wanting more power can specify the Supercharged DIG-S powerplant, which will deliver 98PS and return 69mpg on the combined cycle. A manual gearbox is fitted as standard, but a CVT transmission is available as a £500 option.

Prices start from £9950 for the entry level Visia, which includes six airbags, Bluetooth ‘phone connectivity and remote central locking as standard. The Acenta model will start from £11,550 and add alloy wheels, leather steering wheel, climate control and cruise control to the equipment list.

Those wanting more can opt for the range-topping Tekna, which offers NissanConnect navigation, rear parking sensors and keyless start for a £1400 premium.

The order books for the Micra are open now and cars will be in Nissan showrooms from September.
