First pictures and details of new supermini

These are the first pictures of the new Nissan Micra, which has been revealed at today's Geneva motor show.

Just two engines will be available in Europe - a 79bhp 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine with 80lb ft of torque. It emits 115g/km of CO2.

A supercharged 97bhp 1.2-litre direct injection petrol engine with a start-stop system is also available with 105lb ft of torque. It emits 95g/km of CO2.

Both engines are available with either a five-speed manual or Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

Optional kit will include reverse parking sensors, a new ‘parking space measurement’ (PSM) device with three skill levels (amateur, normal and expert), a touch-screen combined audio and satellite navigation system, glass roof, automatic wipers, speed sensitive volume on the audio, and a push button start-stop system.

Sales of the New Micra/March will begin in Thailand in March, with European sales starting in the autumn.

I think this is a whole lot more interesting than many of you are suggesting. We had a new Micra Shape in 1995, and a new Micra Celebration in 1999, followed by a 160SR in 2005. The first two were good little runners, and far cheaper to run the bangers we had previously. I loved the shape of the 160SR, but the seats were killers on long journeys and the local dealer gave dreadful service. If the new one is very "green" who knows, it might come back on to our driveway.

Re: New Nissan Micra unveiled

I think Nissan should be congratulated.

I mean, you look at the old one and think, how could that get any uglier. And Nissan have proved it can be done! Quite an achievment!

Too bad nobody wants that! Whats up with Japanese design at the moment?
