Nissan Micra car lease deals

Performance and features

The Micra’s engine lineup kicks off with a naturally-aspirated 1.0-litre petrol engine that offers 71bhp, followed by a 89bhp turbocharged model. There’s also a 115bhp version of the staple 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol that comes paired with a six-speed manual transmission, enhancing the driving experience. Depending on the trim level selected, there’s also the option to go for a responsive five-speed XMATIC manual gearbox. The only diesel engine is the 1.5-litre dCi 90 that produces 89bhp and propels the Micra from 0-62 mph in 11.9 seconds.

Nissan’s innovative Active Ride Control and Active Trace Control systems allow the Micra to corner with confidence, while the 300-litre boot can easily accommodate multiple suitcases. All models in the range are five seaters with front-wheel drive, placing the Micra near the top of its class when it comes to handling. For drivers wanting more of a performance-focused design and feel, the N-Sport upgrade brings tech upgrades like a reversing camera, Alcantara upholstery and carbon-fibre-style alloy wheels.

Interior technology

The Micra’s crowning glory is the 7-inch high-resolution infotainment system, which brings Android Auto, Apple Carplay and sat-nav as standard on Acenta, N-Connecta, N-Sport and Tekna trims. For comfort, the Micra has a height-adjustable driver’s seat and adaptive steering wheel, while rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera are standard on the N-Sport trim and above to improve overall visibility. The cabin’s design is unparalleled, with highlights including the flat-bottomed steering wheel, contrasting dashboard colour zones and simulated stitched leather upholstery.
