Nissan Micra is a compact car with a transverse engine and front wheel drive.

The first generation Nissan Micra was born in February 1982 as a three-door hatchback, and in 1987 a 5-door version came out. The second generation model was first shown in January 1992, in export performance in November of the same year. In 1993 the Micra won the European Car of the Year award. In the fall of 1995, partial design changes were made. In the fall of 1997, a pitched roof version with an electric drive was released. In 1998 in Geneva nnew versions of the car have been introduced.

The cars were equipped with 4-cylinder in-line gasoline engines with an electronic injection system of 1.0 and 1.3 liters and a capacity of 54 and 75 liters. with. respectively; five-speed or continuously variable automatic transmission CTV. The maximum speed is 150 and 170 km / h. There is a modification with a 1.6-liter Peugeot vortex-chamber diesel engine with a capacity of 57 liters. sec., maximum speed 146 km / h.

In 2002, the third generation of the Micra was presented at the Paris Motor Show.

Compared to the car, the secondgeneration, which lasted 11 years on the conveyor and more than once became the best-selling model in the class, the current Micra has become a little shorter (the length has decreased by 21 mm), but wider (+65 mm) and higher (+100 mm). The wheelbase has grown by 70 mm and is 2,430 mm. Thus, the reduction in the length of the car did not take place at the expense of the interior volume, but due to the front and rear overhangs. The narrow and short Micra can easily squeeze into a small gap between cars in traffic jams, and there will be no problems with parking. The turning radius of the machine is only lyou have 4.5 meters. True, compactness has a downside. The short wheelbase makes itself felt on rough roads.

Micra 2002 is an international car. Its exterior was completely developed in Japan, where the car is sold under the Nissan March name, and the interior was created by Nissan European Design Studio. Aimed at the European market, the Nissan Micra was designed at the Cranfield Technical Center in the UK and is assembled at Nissan's Sunderland plant.

Avant-garde "arched" designAin distinguishes Mikra from the “car crowd”. The characteristic arched curves of the front and rear bumpers are connected by a wide side line with a rolling wave effect along the entire length of the vehicle. This, on the one hand, provides a more comfortable driving position, on the other hand, it gives a feeling of greater comfort and space inside the car. The goggle-eyed front lights are the hallmark of the car and distinguish it from the crowd of classmates. On the edges of the radiator grille there are protruding gaba diffusersrhythmic lights. The light from the taillights is like a gleam of precious stones, in which the transparent round headlights of the brake light and direction indicators stand out brightly. Driving backwards in cramped conditions is even easier: no more than 10 cm remains from the edge of the rear window to the end of the car. Large windows increase the view, make the car interior brighter, more airy and open. But the side mirrors of the Nissan Micra are small. Another little secret - when entering the tunnel, there is no need to turn on the dimensions - they are constantly on, and at night the headlights are guided by the hostess.the front door of the house, as it continues to illuminate the path for another two minutes. And if she forgot to turn off the light in the cabin, after a while the lamps go out automatically.

Despite its modest external dimensions, the Micra inside has a fairly compact and at the same time spacious interior, so that people of almost any height and build can be comfortable behind the wheel, for which, in addition to the standard set of adjustments, the seat height can be changed. The two-story dashboard is clear and informative... And the audio control buttons located on the steering wheel help you avoid distractions on the road. The on-board computer menu is simple and convenient, you can even enter especially significant dates into it, then the car will congratulate you on your birthday or wedding anniversary. Apparently, wanting to prove to everyone that the Micra is really a 5-seater car, the interior designers managed to fit five cup holders into it: a double one for the driver and front passenger is located at the base of the center console, a holder is placed in the side trimXia nestled in the tunnel.

In addition, the car has excellent additional opportunities for transporting things. To begin with, there is a fairly spacious compartment under the front passenger seat where you can put anything you want, from a bag to all sorts of small things. There is a special compartment for A4 paper in the glove compartment, which is perfect for business women. And to the left of the glove compartment there is a hook on which you can hang a bag of groceries. Also the machine is equipped with an ISO child seat mountFIX. At the same time, the rear seats can be pushed all the way to the front ones and you will not have to reach for the baby. Also, the rear sofa pushed forward gives an excellent opportunity to put bags there and not be afraid that with a sharp braking they will fall to the floor. By the way, with this position of the rear seat, the volume of the trunk increases by 1.5 times (from 251 to 371 liters).

The Micra has practical solutions that are important for everyday use, designed to make the vehicle easier to operate. For example, an electronic chip key that allows you to open and closethe doors of the passenger compartment and luggage compartment, as well as start the car without inserting the key into the lock. The car detects the proximity of the chip key within 80 cm from the car, after which the doors are automatically opened and closed by simply pressing a button. The key is also not needed to start the engine, it is enough that it is somewhere in the car. In addition to the smart key system, the Micra has a seat belt reminder feature if you haven't. In addition to the above, the vehicle has a sensoriki rain, however, with a heavy downpour, antennae-wipers do not do their job very well. Confident behavior of the car on the road is provided by all sorts of smart systems such as ABS, EBD and Break Assist. A since September 2003, the petrol-powered Micra has been equipped with an ESP anti-skid system.

All third generation Nissan Micra engines are either redesigned or significantly improved. The car is produced with three types of gasoline engines and two types of turbodiesel (dCi) with direct injection with a common rail system. Three beNew engines belong to the CR series engine family. These are 4-cylinder, all-aluminum, 16-valve engines with 2 overhead camshafts, equipped with variable valve timing (VTC). They have a volume of 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 liters with a capacity of 48 kW (65 hp), 59 kW (80 hp) and 65 kW (88 hp) respectively. The 1.2 L petrol engine is also available in some markets with 48 kW (65 HP). Since April 2003, the Micra has appeared in Europe with a 1.5-liter turbodiesel engine with a capacity of 48 kW (65 hp),equipped with a common rail system. In September 2003, a more powerful version of this engine was released - with an intercooled capacity of 60 kW (82 hp) and a torque of 185 Nm at 2000 rpm.

A five-speed manual transmission is standard on all engines, while the Micra with 1.2 and 1.4 liter engines is also equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The third generation Micra is now more comfortable, quieter and more refined thanks to the use of hydraulic engine mounts used to reduce vibration and a newsingle subframe that absorbs noise and vibration when driving.

A high level of safety for the driver, passengers and pedestrians includes three main components: informational (information that the driver receives necessary for full control over the car), active (electronic systems ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, ESP) and passive safety (seat belts , active head restraints, frontal, side airbags and side curtain airbags, as well as energy-absorbing materials for door trim and other partsth interior).

Nissan Micra has won first place in its class in terms of protection against theft in special tests conducted by the British magazine What Car ?. As part of this test, not only the performance of the anti-theft systems is assessed, but also the attractiveness of the car for the thief as a whole. In addition to the efficiency of the keyless entry system, an important factor in the assessment of experts was the fact that the Nissan Micra is painted in unusual, bright colors. Hijackers, on the other hand, do not like to mess with prominent cars and, most likely, will chooset to steal another, less bright car.

In 2010, the fourth generation Micra premiered at the Geneva Motor Show. At the heart of the car is a completely new platform. The Micra still offers a relatively spacious cabin with a modest exterior. Being the smallest in the model range of the Japanese manufacturer, this car is great for city trips. The geography of production has significantly expanded, in addition to Japan and Europe, the car is produced at factories in Thailand, India, Mexico and China.

Micra quarterth generation is slightly larger than its predecessor in terms of external dimensions. The baby has become only 5 mm wider and 61 mm longer than its predecessor, compensating for the increase in these dimensions by 15 mm smaller growth. The wheelbase has also grown by 20 mm. But in the weight of the machine, we managed to lose as much as 35 kg. The design has undergone significant changes. The front of the car received almond-shaped headlights and round foglights. The backward-sloping shoulder line from the motor cover continues along the A-pillars, which extend to the middle of the roof. For this reasonnot in expensive versions of Micra, a transparent panoramic roof can be easily installed. In line with fashion trends, the front of the car is made in the form of a monolithic part, where the bumper is combined with the radiator grill. Door handles, oversized side mirrors and anti-scratch moldings bring fresh currents to the body profile. The rear has a roof spoiler and nice vertical block lamps.

New body colors have been developed especially for the Micra 2010. In addition to the traditional red, gray, black, white and silver, according tothere were three individual ones: Spring Green (spring green), Tangerine (tangerine) and Nightshade (nightshade).

The interior decoration is done very competently. The gauge cluster is made up of circles and semicircles and matches well with Nissan's well-known three-spoke steering wheel with round ventilation ducts. Comfortable fit in all seats, including the back sofa. The driver's seat is height adjustable.

You can choose from the traditional Nissan configurations Visia, Acenta and the top-end Tekla, which, among other things, is distinguished by the presence of an external chrome finishand or alloy wheels, light plastic inserts in the cabin and, of course, a wealth of equipment.

However, the "base" of the Micra 2010 is in any case richer than that of its predecessor. All versions have air conditioning, central locking with remote control, folding driver's armrest, tilt-adjustable steering column and electric power steering. Safety systems include ABS with ESP, front and side airbags, curtain airbags and automatic door locks.

And already as an advanced urban exotic opticsluxury items such as the PSM system, which helps the driver determine if there is enough space in the parking lot, are also offered.

Trunk size has increased from 251 to 265 liters. If desired, the rear seat backs can be folded separately and the luggage compartment can be increased to 1130 liters.

Under the hood is a 3-cylinder 12-valve HR12DE. With a working volume of 1198 "cubes" and a compression ratio of 10.7, the all-aluminum unit produces up to 80 horsepower at 6 thousand rpm. The maximum torque is 110 Nm. The power unit is paired with a mechanical 5-speedwith the same gearbox or with a V-belt CVT. In a combined cycle with a manual gearbox, the car consumes only 5 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. The motor is one of the cleanest engines in the world and has a CO2 emission level of 115 g / km. And this is as much as 75% less than its predecessor. It is not without reason that the 2010 Nissan Micra has a Pure Drive nameplate at the rear.

At the end of March 2013, a presentation of the restyled version of the 2014 Nissan Micra model year took place in Thailand. Among the major updates is a new platform, which, by the way, is used by Nissan.Juke. After restyling, the car has noticeably changed in appearance. The front part of the hatchback has been radically redesigned - the shape of the headlights, hood, bumper and radiator grill has changed. It has become more expressive and at the same time brought in line with the corporate identity of the Nissan brand. The stern has received LED lights, a modified bumper and some decorative trim.

The modernization has affected not only the external image, but also the interior. In the interior of the model, the quality of the materials used has been improved, the available color gamut has been expanded.feeding, but most importantly - the center console has noticeably changed, where, among other things, the round ventilation nozzles gave way to rectangular ones. Now the driver and passengers of the Micra can use a 12-volt socket for charging mobile devices and additional USB and AUX inputs for playing information from portable players and memory storage devices.

An important innovation is the 5.8-inch monitor of the navigation system, which will not only help you get to your destination on the most economical route, but also allow you toweather, notify about traffic jams and show the album cover of the music available in the library. The new parking system with smart sensors will inform you about the most suitable parking spot and skillfully adjust the actions of the driver, taking into account his driving skills.

The technical part of the car has practically not changed - the modernization has affected only some of the electronic systems and equipment. The list of available equipment has also been expanded.

Three trim levels are offered - Visia, Acenta and Tekna. The basic Visia equipment includes: remote central lockingcontrol, electric power steering and front power windows, EUR, 14-inch wheels, ABS, ESP, front and side airbags and side curtains.

The Acenta trims include chrome trims, body-colored side mirror housings and door handles, 15-inch alloy wheels, a rear roof spoiler, air conditioning, an armrest between the front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a CD audio system and Bluetooth connectivity.

Finally, the top of the range Tekna has an air conditioner.automatic adjustment, parking sensors, multimedia system and navigation NissanConnect. There are also fog lights, light and rain sensors, electric folding side mirrors, suede seat trim. For a surcharge, this version will offer 16-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a chip key and an improved interior trim.
