The rhythm of modern life is fast and impetuous. It is he who dictates to a person his behavior and actions. It is he who obliges to have a car not as a means of luxury, but as a means of transportation. The most convenient in the conditions of city traffic and the lack of parking spaces is a miniature car, which, moreover, is inexpensive to maintain. That option is the Nissan Micra. Japanese engineers very clearly understood the development trend of society, and already in 1992 they released the first tiny car of this model to the judgment of critics and the public.
Front-wheel drive small cars were produced with a volume of 1 liter (power 65 hp) and 1.3 liters (power 82 hp). At the same time, the maximum speed of the first option was 150 km / h, the second - 170 km / h. Economical, small and comfortable, the first generation Nissan Micra was very popular among the inhabitants of the "stone jungle", especially women. Since that time, this car was available in both five- and three-door versions. This model was successful until 2000, when it was replaced by copiessecond generation.
Cars of this generation have undergone minor changes, more related to its appearance. Smooth streamlined shapes and arched piles of the body appealed to numerous fans, as well as interior improvements and improved sound insulation. Nissan Micra, released in the year of the Millennium, was also marked by the appearance of another, this time diesel, engine. One and a half liter diesel engine with a power of 57 hp. could reach a maximum speed of up to 146 km / h, while consuming only 4.3 liters per 100 km (highway).
The third generation Nissan Micra was released in 2003. The very first "internal" difference from the "ancestors" is the presence of an automatic transmission. However, this innovation only applies to gasoline engines. The exterior of the car has also undergone changes: the transition from the roof to the hood has become smoother, along the perimeter of the car has also become more rounded.
The table shows modifications of Nissan Micra engines, characteristics of their power and volume
3rd generation car engine modifications
| Fuel consumed | Engine size, l | Power, hp | Checkpoint | Maximum speed, km/h |
| gasoline | 1, 0 | 65 | mechanics | 154 |
| 1, 2 | 65 | automatic | 145 | |
| 1, 2 | 80 | mechanics | 167 | |
| 1, 4 | 88 | automatic | 158 | |
| 1, 4 | 88 | mechanics | 172 | |
| diesel | 1, 5 | 65 | mechanics | 155 |
| 1, 5 | 82 | mechanics | 170 |
2005 was marked by the release of the fourth generation of this model. In shape, this machine is somewhat reminiscent of an egg - oval, with rolling eyes. This brings a smile.
It is worth noting that this model has not undergone any special changes, except for the “facade”. By changing only the exterior and adding more bells and whistles and electrics to the interior, Japanese engineers are doing absolutely the right thing: why modify and change something that is to the taste of a multi-million audience of car fans? Music system control buttons right on the steering wheel, a huge number of pockets and hiding places, a convenient instrument panel, air conditioning and more comfortable seats - that's what the small car looks like inside. Add to this a fairly high agility, maneuverability and inexpensive maintenance - and it becomes clear why residents of megacities choosethis particular baby.
Since 2007, the Nissan Micra has been in its fifth generation. It was this model that won the greatest sympathy among fans of small vehicles. Playfulness and agility, maneuverability and easy control, excellent quality and complete unity with the baby - what else is needed in order to protect yourself from the hustle and bustle of a big and noisy city?
