With a refreshed design, a new platform co-developed with Renault and a new range of engines to choose from, the 2003 Micra was a good choice as a city car.
Unveiled at the 2002 Paris Motor Show, the new Nissan Micra was slightly longer than its predecessor, having used the Renaul-Nissan alliance B-platform that was developed for small and compact-sized vehicles. The same platform was used by the Nissan Tiida and the Renault Megane.
The car’s shape and the happy design was more appealing for young women. Both headlights and taillights were mounted high and back to avoid getting them scratched in the parking lot. The shape also contributed to the great visibility offered to the driver.
While from the outside the Micra looked small, it was surprisingly spacious and offered plenty of storage areas in the cabin. It was fitted with front plain seats and a bench for two adults in the rear, or three children. The trunk was limited, but the split-folding rear bench seatback could extend the luggage area if necessary.
For the engine compartment, the Micra was offered with a choice of three gasoline and two diesel engines, mated to a standard 5-speed manual. A 4-speed automatic was available for selected markets and versions.
Besides the more powerful engines available, the fuel efficiency was greatly increased and the emission levels were reduced.
