The Nissan Micra has been discontinued

Essentially the Micra Active is the previous generation Micra, while the New Micra is the current generation of this popular vehicle. However, that is an oversimplification as the New Micra is a completely different vehicle in almost every way. It has a more powerful engine, is bigger and wider and its design styling’s have been updated. If you would like to make a complete comparison between the two different Micra cars, then please visit our New Micra vs. Micra Active page to learn more.

Bold, audacious and oozing with sex appeal and a whole lot of attitude! The New Micra has a look about it that is almost predatory in the way it attacks the road and catches the eye of all who see her. Bold words yes, but simply take a look at any picture on this page and you’ll instantly see that this is not your average Nissan design. This is something unique and special that has been sculpted to stand out from the crowd. From its strong and sharp character lines to its athletic and poised stance, this is a car that can simply not be ignored.

Yes it does! This 5 door marvel has two front doors, two rear “secret” doors similar to the Juke and 1 hatchback.

As with most modern cars the New Micra comes with an easy to use temporary spare wheel that will allow you to safely get your vehicle to the closest vehicle repair and tyre replacement facility no matter if you’re on the open road or simply driving around town when you encounter a flat tyre.

The mid range Nissan Micra Acenta is one of our favourites due to the fact that you get a lot of car for its price. However, all three of the New Micra Model Variants are exceptionally good cars that come packed with a range of standard safety and comfort features. We recommend that you chat to one of our sales team about which New Nissan Micra is the right one for you when visiting one of our showrooms in the Western Cape, the Eastern Cape or Gauteng.

There are 3 New Micra model variants, namely the Visia, the Acenta and the Acenta PLUS! To find out more about the spec and accessory differences between the 3 variants please download out latest brochure here.

Which Nissan Micra is best is a personal question, because it all depends on your driving needs. But in our opinion, although we LOVE all of the model variants, we certainly have a soft spot for the impressive Nissan Micra Acenta Plus! It is packed full of convenience, comfort and safety features (as are the other Micra models), but it also comes with 17″ Alloy Wheels, a Leather Steering Wheel, a Leather Shift Lever, a Leather Hand Brake Cover and an eye-catching Energy Orange Interior Pack.

No matter which Nissan Micra you decide on, the one thing you are guaranteed is that you’ll be driving away in one of the best vehicles in its class. Before making up your mind about which Micra to buy however, we suggest that you pay us a visit and come and test drive the latest Micra models for yourself. This will allow you to make an informed decision based on what each model variant offers you as well and will allow you to take advantage of any insightful information our informed Group1 Nissan Sales Team can share with you.

The top of the Nissan Micra range is the Acenta Plus! Please note however that limited edition and special edition Micra vehicles are released from time to time which may temporarily replace the Standard Acenta Plus Micra. An example of this would be the Nissan Micra Acenta Plus Tech Model which comes with additional Intelligent Nissan Safety Features.

While the Nissan March is the same as the older Nissan Micra, it is not sold in South Africa and the older Micra is only sold as a used vehicle.

Side-by-side, the Nissan Micra and the Nissan March are similar in many ways but there are several key distinctions in functionality and design that set them apart. The new Nissan Micra is more modern with beautiful styling and an almost luxury twist. It is the way forward with loads more features, improved specs and better value for money overall. It delivers a good and comfortable driving experience compared to other cars in the segment.

Since the Nissan March is not sold in South Africa, a price comparison in ZAR is hardly a telling factor. However, the price of a Nissan March in relation to a used Nissan Micra is fair in terms of build quality, features and driving experience. While the price of a new Nissan Micra might be higher, it also offers a lot more in design, technology and safety features which makes buying a Nissan Micra a no-brainer.

The Nissan Micra has a 3-year/90 000km service plan, a 6-year/150 000km warranty and 15 000km service intervals.
