The Nissan Micra is a true commercial success for the Japanese manufacturer. Launched thirty years ago, the small city car has sold over 6 million units worldwide. A model whose appearance strangely reminds us of certain small MINIs, and this is entirely normal, since the heavy design task was entrusted to a British firm.

Indeed, at that time, Italian designers were calling the shots in the design world. The first models were marketed in October 1981. After thirty years of existence and four generations well underway, the Nissan Micra has evolved considerably but has retained the spirit of its beginnings, a small, economical and easy-to-drive car.

It's a consensus model, one that wants to appeal to everyone, men and women, to change certain prejudices that stuck to the skin. On the body, the current Micra is more compact than previous versions, since it measures 3.78 m in length, 1.51 m in height, 1.61 m in width and finally a wheelbase of 2.45 m. Dimensions that make it easy to drive in the city. It is also equipped with a new lightweight platform of 35 kg and the whole thing weighs only 900 kg, a weight which, incidentally, is exceptional for such a vehicle.

The interior has also been revolutionized, increasing passenger space and providing much better comfort. The trunk capacity ranges from 265 liters to 1,131 liters with the rear seat folding. Driving on the road in Mauritius is a pleasure when you're in the Nissan Micra. You can get anywhere quickly without any difficulty, and parking this car is simply too easy. To top it all off, fuel consumption is really low, so you can travel more and pay less than you think.
