Supercharged engine for all-new Micra
Nissan has taken the covers off the all-new Micra, which will be launched in 160 countries over the next 12 months.
Developed and built on Nissan’s all-new V-platform, the fourth-generation Micra will get a new three-cylinder petrol engine that features supercharging, direct injection and stop/start functionality, all of which will allow the small powertrain to emit only 95g/km of CO2. Power is rated at 100bhp and 142Nm of torque.
New Micra is due to be produced in four locations – Thailand, India, Mexico and China – and its importance can not be understated, said Carlos Ghosn, Nissan’s CEO. He added: “Combine 25 years experience of designing compact cars for city driving with a totally new, versatile platform, and the result is a modern, simple and destined to be a serious competitor on the world stage.”
