NISSAN Micra 5 Doors 2017-2020 Photos, engines & full specs

The fifth generation of the Nissan Micra was unveiled at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. It was built on the same platform as the Renault Clio and it was available only as a 5-door hatchback.

The Micra traced its roots back in time until the '80s. Over time, it was offered in various forms, including sedan, convertible, and a 3-door version. But after the Renault-Nissan alliance started to work on the car, it was considered that the only money-maker would be the 5-door version.

With its sharp angles and floating-roof design, the Micra surprised the world with its look. It was nothing like its predecessor. The grille was crossed by chromed lines and formed a wide shield with a black mesh background. The side Z-line from the front to the rear fenders was a reminder of the Z-series from Nissan.

Inside, the styling was continued in the same edge-design mode. Depending on the trim level, the interior could have been boring or bold. The top-version featured stitched leather on the dashboard and doors, leather upholstery, and a nice infotainment unit surrounded by leather, on the center stack. The instrument cluster was inspired by the 370Z model and it offered, as an option, a head-up display.

The entire engine lineup was from the Renault-Nissan alliance, most of them being built by the French car-maker. There was a choice of 3- and 4-cylinder engines, turbocharged or naturally aspirated, or a turbodiesel. Depending on the powerplant, a 5- or 6-speed manual was on the offer. A CVT also was available.
