In its fourth generation, the Nissan Micra has become easier and visually unobtrusive. The 2012 Micra now has a three-cylinder engine with a supercharger under the hood. The exterior changed completely from the predecessor. Inside, the Nissan Micra still thrilled by the efficient use of space and a solid finish. The cockpit is exemplary in terms of clarity, the various functions are easy to operate.
The Nissan Micra armed with a new 1.2-liter direct-injection engine with a supercharger and 98 hp, and standard-start-stop system from the sleeve.
The combination of gasoline direct injection and mechanically supercharger is unique in this class. Due to the direct injection the combustion process can be controlled better and optimized the efficiency of the engine. The supercharger compresses even at low engine speeds the intake air and creates a spontaneous response of the Nissan Micra and a better pulling power of the engine.
Out of the theory and into practice: Is it worth the extra price for the supercharged micra? By pressing a button wakes the three-cylinder engine of the Nissan Micra 1.2 S-DIG to life and runs very quiet. When you step on the accelerator of the small car pulls off spontaneously. Equally pleasing is the smooth functioning of start-stop system. Nissan Micra 1.2 DIG S needs 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers. This corresponds approximately to the value of the previous 1.2-liter gasoline engine (6.3 liters). The supercharged Micra is more fun to drive with only a slight increase in consumption.
