A diesel version is also available, the 1.5-litre dCi, which will do 0 to 60 mph in 11.9 seconds with a maximum speed of 106 mph.

The Acenta also features air conditioning, electric door mirrors, under seat storage, multifunction glove box, six-speaker stereo, leather trimmed steering wheel and more. The Tenka includes 16 inch alloy wheels, 6 CD auto-changer, sports seats, and climate control. The Active Luxury lives up to its name with more luxurious trim features.
The new Nissan Micra has improved features over previous models, including thicker glass on the front doors, better door seals and further insulation developments which make for a quieter drive. A car made for urban motoring; it is economical to run and has plenty of interior features which will appeal to many drivers. |
