THE ALL NEW SPORTY AND TRENDY FACELIFT HOT HATCH -" NISSAN MICRA ACTIVE"



Well the all new sporty and the non-cute looking facelift NISSAN MICRA is a serious head-tunner...The previous model of the Micra havent been on the top of the hatchback list since its launch but the NISSAN have promised that it has corrected all those defects in this new model....The Nissan engineers have played alot around with looks of this competative hatchback.. the front grill has been reworked rigorously ... it no more looks CUTE but have that trendy design aspect to it.. It suits the car's look alot better and gives it much more bigger stance..The re-engineered front bumper and the integrated FogLamps gives the car more agression it needed..The body lines have been kept quiet similar but the rear TailLamps have been modified with the LED lamp mountings..The futuristic design scheme by the NISSAN is much welcomed and appreciated a lot..The wheel archs also looks well moulded and the 17inches wheels gives the MACHO look to this car...

The new Gear Shift Lever for the Automatic MICRA CVT


The 1198cc CVT petrol engine with an outsanding milleage of 19kmpl

The engine which we are concerned over here is the new CVT engine developed by NISSAN..The petrol engine with the new automatic gearbox promises an extraordinary mileage..The 1200cc engine is a absolute pleasure to drive.... it is loaded with features such as the new angular Headlamps, Wider Front Grill with more Air intake... the engine , a 1.2litre SOHC engine is mounted on it to boost a maximum power of 75 PS and a maximum torque of 104 Nm in it... It gives an incredible mileage of 19 Kmpl which is the best in class...Now you may ask that the performance aspect of this motor maynot be that good when it comes to the city traffic but no it rather is quiet impressive in the city roads... The engine does provide you that punch when you want to hit it in an open space and it also provides you that low rev response really adequately...In highways the company has provide you with an interesting offer in this package, THE SPORTS MODE, by flicking a button on the gear shift lever you can kick in the extra boost to your engine when you want to have a little fun.... all in total the engine is a much more reliable and punchy, it is the best the city dewellers can have...



The electronics level in the car is also much appreciable the steering mounted controls adds to the luxury feeling of the car,,it includes the call buttons and the stereo controlls.. The top end variant offers push Start-Stop mechanism with no Key entery droos, it also have 2 airbags... The A/C does have the climate control facility and the stereo also comes with bluetooth and auxillary connectivity.. The dials of the car not that great it does feels a let-down to the cars whole next-gen feeling.. The dials are but old fashioned with only the digital fuel indicator and no led displays..


The Interiors And Comfort:-




Well in comfort the Micra is Nothing less than its big brother NISSAN Sunny.. It feels spacious and have a bit sense of airy to it... the upholstery is top notch and the light interior with its big windows really lifts up your mood.. whats best is the stylling of the seats the back seat does feel a lot bigger and the head rests are really designed very beautifully... the window pannels does have the armrest attached to it... the seats are really well cushioned and does feel really comfortable..
the black toned dashboard with the buldging central console does appeal to the youthness to you..
the A/C vents are well integrated to the dashboard and there are lots and lots space to store
In all the vechile does look and feels Next-Generation and would able to many hot hatch lovers in INDIA...
The boot space is not much but when packed intelligently may fullfill the need...
THE VERDICT:-

LOOKS ALOT BETTER NOW, AVAILABLE WITH THE AUTOMATIC SYSTEM, COMES LOADED WITH FEATURES BUT NOT AS FUN TO DRIVE AS THE SWIFT...
