The Micra can be described according to its name which means small. Interiors of the 4 door car are very spacious and you might not believe that it can accommodate 5 adults with ease. The design of the car is according to new specifications which are worth the value. If you need to travel at high speed and have enough luggage with you this is the right option to choose. Unlike other cars this hatchback has different features which might come handy when traveling for long hours. You need this car so that you can enjoy every part of life. The Micra is one of the best selling European cars in the world. It has sky touching sales in the European market. The need of hatch back for the Indian segment was required because it has increasing demands.

Interiors and looks
The Micra is nowhere close to any other hatch back. The reason being it’s very spacious from the inside. It has various features which are available in top end of other cars. You might want to reconsider an option for buying a car. The Micra is one of them which is small and spacious. If you have a lot of luggage all the time then selecting the Micra will be a good option. Different hatch backs are available in the country then why is the need to select the Micra. Well the answer is straight and simple. It has one of the best interiors with a powerful engine. This car is meant for those who need to carry their world with them. Foldable seats with high quality AC are some of the features which are usually seen in top end cars of other manufacturers. Well according to safety it has all the standard features which are not available in the basic model.

Handling the Micra
This is the section where you will love driving the Micra. It has one of the best steering wheel in the world. Feather touch handling is seen in the car which is one of the added features. This means you can maneuver the car at high speeds too. This is one of the attractive features which ensure you have a good time driving the Micra. One of the effective measures taken by Nissan is to provide the Micra with tuned handling suspension systems. It has increased the stability of the vehicle to maximum. Steering the car at high speeds is not a problem.

Engine and feel the Micra
Prepare yourself to face the reality. The Nissan Micra feels underpowered at times. This is because the engine fitted by the Japanese manufacturer is small compared to its size. The hatch back is one of the slowest one in the race. Speed section of the hatch back is missing in the entire design.

Where should it be, in your garage or the showroom?
The cost plays an important role while buying the Micra. If you are looking for a car which can carry your belongings then this is the right choice. If you want speeds there are other hatch backs available in the country.

    It has been quite some time since the launch of the new Micra and the hype surrounding it is slowly beginning to subside. Now it is time for the actual question. Was the car really worth the hype and is it truly a game changer for Nissan in India. Let’s find out.

    First, lets get into some statistics. Since the launch of Nissan Micra, Nissan India sales have grown by around 20 times over the same period last year. Full credit to the Micra for the outstanding feat. Nissan, with its small network of 19 dealers, managed to sell around 1200 Micras in September. A ratio of around 60 cars sold per dealer. Well done Nissan. But in a market dominated by Swifts and i20s, is the Micra good enough to carry Nisan on its shoulders? Read on.
