Testing the new Nissan Micra

the agile and exciting new Micra is a game changer in the ever-popular, B hatchback segment, and the only road trip car you should have on your wish list. Bold, edgy and responsive, the Nissan Micra o ers an e ortless experience for long-distance driving with its 898CC turbo engine and 300l boot that comfortabl­y holds more than a clutch of travel luggage.

Thanks to the contempora­ry-style upholstery, narrow front headlights with LED lighting and the signature V-motion grille, it doesn’t lack in the design stakes either.

HAVE IT YOUR WAY

The large infotainme­nt system, controlled by a touchscree­n display, is one of the best on the market when it comes to connectivi­ty and safety. Plus, the system in the Micra Acenta and Acenta Plus supports Apple Car Play, so you can have access to all your music, Siri, instant messages, maps, MP3, USB and Bluetooth connectivi­ty. Win!

The angular Micra boasts a dynamic vehicle control, hill start assist, antilockin­g braking system and EBD (Electronic Brake force Distributi­on) – this is one hatchback that will not be mistaken for another.

But the range of colours and variety of decals is what stole our hearts. A compact and roomy hatchback that doubles as your next fashion accessory, too? We’re ready to plan our spring getaways!

AT YOUR SERVICE

The Nissan Micra comes with a sixyear 150 000km warranty, a three-year 90 000km service plan and 24/7 roadside assist.
