Nissan Micra 2017 with updated features launched in India at Rs 5.99 lakhs

Nissan has announced the new updated version of its compact hatchback Micra. The 2017 edition is the same as last year but now comes with some added features. While we were expecting the fifth-generation Micra which was announced last year, it seems that the car maker is going stick around with the same old design.With pricing starting at Rs 5.99 lakhs, the new Micra comes with some updated features which are mostly cosmetic. There are automatic rain-sensing wipers and automatic headlights, while the orange variant of the new Micra gets orange inserts inside the cabin. This includes orange stitching around the seats and orange inserts around the dashboard, doors and gear lever. There are no changes on the exterior so you get the same facelift version which arrived in 2013.Even the powertrains remain the same which means the 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine and the 1.5-litre diesel engine. The petrol engine produces 77 PS of power and 104 Nm of torque and the diesel produces 64 PS and 160 Nm. The diesel engine comes with a 5-speed manual transmission and the petrol variant has a CVT (continuous variable transmission) option. The price range starts from Rs 5.99 lakhs going all the way up to Rs 7.23 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).
