2018 Nissan Micra

The latest edition of the Nissan Micra is far more stylish than previous generations, but it has not sacrificed practicality for the sake of it. There is plenty of space on board especially up front where there are plenty of handy stowage spaces and cup-holders. With 300 litres of space, the boot compares favourably to the Micras main rivals in terms of size. The interior is generally a better class than before as it is chock full of high-quality, soft-touch materials. There is an adequate level of standard equipment that includes LED daytime running lights and air conditioning on the entry level model with a seven-inch LCD display and cruise control being added to some later models. There is a choice of three engines; a 1 litre petrol, a 0.9 litre turbocharged petrol and a 1.5 litre diesel. The driving experience overall is surprisingly solid and enjoyable.
