Nissan's all new global compact car

Nissan's Micra has been sighted many times undergoing tests in Chennai and its launch is awaited. Nissan has been heard referring to the next-gen Micra as the "all new global compact car".

This has fuelled rumours that the name Micra could be dropped in favour of a newer name. Micra is being considered an important model of Nissan and would be showcased at the Geneva Motor Show.

Micra has been built on the much acclaimed V-platform, which boasts of special features like less number of parts and extensive use of plastic parts in the powertrain making it a light vehicle.

It would be interesting to see how the company prices its product to beat the competition.

Apart from Micra, Nissan would also showcase Juke at the motor show. This car with its 1.6L turbocharged 190bhp engine and designing could be a good option for Indian market.

The other cars in the Nissan stable at the show include Nissan Leaf, updated Nissan Qashqai, refreshed Nissan Pathfinder and Navara and the Nissan 370Z Roadster.

Unconfirmed news is also there about the next-gen Renault Clio that could be made in India, sharing the same V-platform as Micra. But before all this, Nissan needs to strengthen its dealership network to support its products well.
