Press Launch Nissan Micra: A big welcome for the little ones

This coming Saturday (19 March 2011) will welcome the Nissan dealer, the fourth generation of the Nissan Micra with an open day. The great train station for the little Nissan is a reason: The Micra is a complete redesign in light of new architecture, with a new design inside and out and a newly constructed three-cylinder engine together with a new continuously variable automatic transmission.

The new Nissan Micra, you can only purchase it as a five-door hatchback. In the basic version with Visia First Five-speed manual transmission costs 10 740 Euro. Nissan market experts estimate that one in five people will opt for this model. The largest with 70 percent share of sales will bring the version Acentra that is for 13 240 euro also comes with a five-speed manual transmission or 400 euros for 14 with the CVT continuously variable automatic transmission.

For the top Tekna version for 15 440 Euro will be expected to rule only ten percent. The list of optional equipment is straightforward: For 500 € is available for the Nissan Acentra Connect with navigation, five-inch touch screen, radio / CD combination and interfaces for USB, iPod and Bluetooth.

The package is already included in the Tekna series equipment, as well as the Style package also 500 € for 15-inch alloy wheels and fog lights. For another 500 € for the Nissan bitet Acentra (standard on Tekna) to a park guide who can assess and find parking spaces. The equipment with leather costs in 1000 € Tekna.

Nissan sees the Micra, which is produced on the new, globally used V platform for Europe, the Japanese manufacturer in India, as a good car for the city. Even with a turning circle of only 9.3 meters, it would have earned this assessment. With its length of 3.78 meters, its surprisingly large for the overall dimensions of space on all four seats, especially with its clarity, it emphasizes its suitability as a city car.

The visibility is convincing. What others are achieved in this high class, Nissan created with large windows - something that is forced on many models of late unfortunately of high shoulders and small glass areas. His growling three-cylinder with 59 kW / 80 hp to move the children along with the CVT can expect faster in city driving than the numbers.

From zero to 100 km / h, it takes 14.5 seconds, and its top speed is 161 km / h. With the chassis of our test car we got the impression that the wheels were 16 inches with a size too big and too heavy to have been elected. They again are facing the back down and seduced the suspension response to unpleasant hard.

At the very direct steering, there is not suspended, and the CVT automatic left at our Tours in Hamburg and its port no negative impression, which is exactly what one expects from an automatic. The interior brings a lot of hard plastic is pleasant to the hand-looking style with friendly interfaces into play.

The valves are marked by the playful, the little knobby style of Nissan. The seats are quite small, but comfortable. The trunk still has at least 265 liters volume, and the rear seats can be folded individually. To all the City property fits of consumption. Specified by Nissen (on average according to EU standard) with 5.4 liters.

This small value is related to the mostly low mileage of vehicles in this class the reason for the Nissan Micra dispensed with in this generation to a diesel engine. There will be an autumn a compressor that will breathe life into the three-cylinder 72 kW / 98 hp and push the carbon dioxide emissions of 115 grams per kilometer (vacuum) to 98 g / km.
