Nissan launches new Micra CVT at Rs 5.99 lakh

To stay ahead of competition in the festive season, Nissan has introduced the new Micra CVT at Rs 5.99 lakh. The new automatic Micra variant is available in a new shade of sunshine orange along with existing shades of brick red, turquoise blue, blade silver, onyx black, nightshade and storm white. Additionally, the new version also gets an all-black sporty interior.

Mechanically there are no upgrades on the new Nissan Micra CVT and it continues to be powered by the existing 1.2-litre petrol engine that generates 76bhp of power. The company claims that the CVT variant returns better fuel efficiency figures than the regular manual transmission. The new model does not get any major upgrades except for the addition of a new exterior colour option and new European-styled black interior which includes a black central console with piano black finish, black door trims, and black seat fabric with blue stitching. The Active variants feature a black instrument panel cluster and finisher, black seat fabric and a silver-colour door arm rest finisher.

The Micra hatchback from Nissan is the most exported hatchback from the Indian market. However, its sales number in India have not been too impressive. Now, with fresh changes and the availability of an automatic option in this segment, Nissan Micra is expected to generate more customer response in the coming days. The company also anticipates that the new colour option will be well received in the Indian market during the festive season.
