Why buy the Nissan Micra?

Nissan Micra common questions

How practical is the Nissan Micra?

The Micra has five doors and five seats. There’s ample space for four adults, although you don’t get as much back seat headroom as in some rival cars. The Micra is more family-friendly than some rivals, however, with three sets of Isofix child seat mounts, including one on the front passenger seat. The boot’s a good size, too, big enough for a family’s weekly food shopping.

How does the Nissan Micra compare with other Nissan models?

The Micra is Nissan’s only ‘conventional’ new hatchback on sale. There’s also the bigger Leaf hatchback, but that’s an electric car that isn’t available with petrol or diesel engines like the Micra. All of Nissan’s other cars are SUVs, of which the Juke is closest in size to the Micra.

How safe is the Nissan Micra?

The Micra is one of the safest superminis. Safety organisation Euro NCAP awarded it a full five-star rating. All models come with driver safety systems including lane-keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam headlights and automatic emergency braking that can detect pedestrians stepping out in front of the car.
