The #nissan #micra has 34 years of history and sales success in Europe. First launched in 1983, it is one of Europe’s most recognisable car model names. It is also much-loved by the car-buying public, with an outstanding level of customer loyalty over its lifetime. More than seven million units have been sold worldwide since launch, with more than 3.5 million of those in Europe. The new #nissan #micra has dynamic hatchback proportions, and with an overall length of 3,999 mm it’s placed right at the core of the B-hatchback segment. Featuring a sculpted body with strong and sharp character lines visible from every angle, the car delivers an athletic and poised stance that’s hard to ignore.But it’s not just great to look at; the new #micra has a best-in-class drag coefficient of just 0.29, to maximise fuel efficiency. Available only as a five-door model, the car is longer, lower and wider than ever before. The wheelbase is also longer. The new #micra is the widest model in the B-hatchback segment and among the lowest. The interior of the new #micra has been carefully created to put the customer at the heart of the experience. The cabin is based around a T-shaped ‘gliding wing’ dashboard, with simple and harmonious structures that create excellent space for the driver and front passenger. The instruments and controls have been grouped together for comfort, convenience and safety. Benchmarking against rivals means #nissan believes the new #micra has best-in-class ‘eyes off the road’ time. BOSE Personal premium audio systemThe new #nissan #micra is equipped with a wide range of intuitive ‘in-control’ technologies designed to enhance the car’s comfort, convenience and safety performance. Many of them are standard across the range, while others are available from specific grades or as an option. NissanConnect Customers control many of the new Micra’s features using the infotainment system, located high up in the centre of the dashboard. NissanConnect is the name given to the most advanced of these. It is standard on Tekna and N-Connecta grades, and optional on Acenta. The standard infotainment system on Acenta is called Display Audio, while Visia+ and Visia get the entry level system (optional on Visia). NissanConnect offers a 7-inch full-colour multi-touch display, DAB digital radio, satellite navigation and smartphone-style apps. A comprehensive range of safety technologies
The new #micra features the most comprehensive suite of integrated safety technologies ever offered on a #nissan small car. They include:
Intelligent Lane Intervention. This is a lane departure warning and prevention system that is a first on any #nissan in Europe. When activated, the steering wheel gently vibrates and the car’s brakes are individually applied to guide the car back into its lane.
Intelligent Emergency Braking. This avoids impacts or reduces the severity of them and includes pedestrian recognition technology. This latter element is a first for any #nissan B-hatchback in Europe.
Traffic Sign Recognition. This technology means drivers always know the speed limit of the road they’re driving on. The read-out is given on the combimeter.
High Beam Assist. When activated, the headlamps automatically switch from dipped beam to high beam to improve night-time visibility and road safety.
Intelligent Around View Monitor. Nissan’s acclaimed 360˚ camera system aids reversing manoeuvres and includes Moving Object Detection for enhanced safety performance.
Blind Spot Warning. Radar sensors installed in the rear bumper activate to warn the driver, visually and audibly, of other vehicles in adjacent lanes. This reduces the risk of an impact when pulling out. Intelligent Ride Control. This technology improves the Micra’s ride by using the engine and brakes to moderate the fore/aft pitching motion often felt when a car goes over larger bumps in the road, such as traffic calming measures. This moderation is supported by the shock absorbers, which dampen the vertical and pitch motions of the vehicle.
Intelligent Trace Control. When cornering, this system automatically engages and adjusts the brakes on the inside of the vehicle, and the wheels on the outside, to keep the #micra on the optimal line.
