The fifth generation Nissan Micra is gunning for the best cars in the supermini class.
With dynamic styling and hardware shared with the next-generation Renault Clio (with which the Micra will also share a production line), the company wants to challenge the market-leading Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo.
Length is now 3995mm (up by 170mm), while a width of 1742mm (up 77mm) makes the new model the widest in its class.
The Micra uses nice soft trim materials pinched from the Qashqai and comes with a five-inch display screen.
At launch it will have a specially configured version of the 89bhp 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel found in smaller Renaults, plus a turbocharged 0.9-litre three-cylinder petrol engine of the same output.
