The Nissan Micra has just received numerous design and technology improvements. The changes are so important that in Nissan it has been decided to call it new micra. In addition to a radical change in its frontal and rear image, the new micra incorporates a new central console, new upholstery and new finishes in addition to USB and Aux-In Tomas. Depending on the version, it also has a new navigation and communication system used by the Nissan Connect 2.0, now with a larger touch screen.
In addition, Nissan will increase the personalization possibilities of the micra so that each client can configure the car to their liking.
In the background, however, the new micra remains faithful to the design that defined the ideal urban car that came to the market 30 years ago.
The new micra is still very practical and easy to drive and thanks to its small rotation radius, it parks with great ease.
Among its main features include the efficient overlapping direct injection gasoline (DIG-S), its innovative and useful parking space measurement system, which helps the driver park in small spaces and the I-Key system that not only allows access to the car without using the key, but also allows it to be launched in the same way.
The changes of the Nissan Micra in detail
The micra, called March in some markets, is manufactured in four different floors and is sold in 56 countries around the world, however much of the changes of the new micra, which will reach the dealers in September, have been introduced specifically for the European market ..
The most obvious changes are found abroad. The new micra has completely changed its front, with a grill that restores a strong bond with the usual appearance of all Nissan. They have also changed the hood, the fins, the headlights and the bumper. In those finishes in which the fog lights are standard, they have a new and distinctive form and are within a chromed frame. The changes give the new micra a stronger, more energetic and more dynamic aspect.
In the rear we also have significant changes, such as a new bumper, new LED pilots and a new profile in the lower part of the gate.
The new look is completed with a redesign of the 15 -inch alloy wheels and the arrival of new 16 "tires, also alloy with a more innovative finish.
Inside the new micra, the spelling of the instrumentation, located in front of the driver, has changed to achieve greater clarity of reading, with a completely new central console and a redesign of the air exits.
The interior has improved its appearance with the use of a new bright black finish for the central and silver console for the finishes of the change. The support of the doors have a relief to give them greater perceived quality and change the upholstery of both the seats and the doors of the doors. Visia and Accent finishes have a resistant fabric fabric with a undulating plot while the Tekna range stops have a double sewing velvet upholstery.
The interior now has AUX-IN and USB shots on the dashboard connected to the audio equipment, as well as a 12-volt take that allows you to easily load mobile phones or MP3 equipment.
All versions from the Naru finish have an audio equipment integrated in the central console, with matte or bright black finishes according to the areas.
And what is better, the new micra benefits from the availability of the new Nissan Connect 2.0 navigation and communication system with a larger touch screen, 5'8 inches and with chrome controls.
The renewed navigation now includes the eco-rutes, which automatically calculates and proposes the routes in which a lower consumption can be achieved. The service is complemented by an eco-resulting table that allows the driver to know what he has saved while driving.
The broader touch screen does not imply only a greater ease of reading the maps and addresses but allows to see the cover of the album in which each song contained in the user's musical bookstore is included.
The new system also incorporates advanced functions such as Google Send-To-Cartm technology that allows the user to plan their route on a PC, a tablet at your home or in the office and then transmit to the car the necessary instructions to follow the aforementioned route.
In addition, the system allows the search for points of interest through the Google Point of Interest (POI) software and access to updated time information, the price of fuel in the service stations in the area through which it circulates and flights are also included between the functions. The navigation system now includes the "output view" for highways completed with a guide by lines to help the driver recognize the output and the system also shows the maximum authorized speed on the road through which it circulates with a visual and sound alert when a certain speed is exceeded.
Another innovation is the availability of an advanced parking assistance system, which is combined with its electric assisted direction and with one of the best spin radios in the segment - only 9.3 m. The PSM is an advanced system that measures the available spaces warning the driver, through a message in the instrument frame, in which spaces can park without difficulties and in which not. The system can be adjusted according to driver's skills and offers three measurement levels: amateur, normal or expert.
