The fourth generation of the Nissan Micra was unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.
Its long list of standard features and the decent price made it a good buy for customers around the world.

The first generation of the Nissan Micra was introduced to the market in 1982 and its main quality was its reliability. Over the years, the Micra didn’t grow in size. The fourth-generation was, in fact, 5 mm (0.2”) shorter than the first one and that was unusual.

On the outside, the 2010 Micra was designed in the biodesign way, with rounded lines. The front side was designed to mimic a smiling face, with big round headlights, a smile-like lower grille, and a bump in the upper grille that resembled a nose. The round theme was continued to the rest of the vehicle.

Inside, the 2010 Micra offered more interior room than its predecessor. It offered the biggest wheelbase from all the previous generations. Five passengers could sit inside and, due to the arched roofline, the headroom was generous. The trunk was deep and spacious and it could have been extended by folding the rear seats. It was offered with a 60/40 split rear bench.

For the engine compartment, the 2010 Micra was offered with a 1.2-liter gasoline engine, with or without a turbocharger. The standard transmission for both versions was a 5-speed manual, while for the more powerful one a CVT was offered as an option.
