Author: Gary WhiteIn the new Nissan Micra, which focuses on individualization and cheerful colours, there are more equipment choices than in any Micra before it. First you have a choice between five equipment lines Visia, Visia Plus, Acenta, N-Connecta and Tekna.
The Visia entry-level model is equipped with the emergency brake assistant, the automatic headlights, the LED daytime running lights, the central locking and the electric windows in the front, but not the air conditioning. It only cools in the Visia Plus, which also has an audio system and Bluetooth function. With the 7-inch audio system with touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, the multifunction steering wheel, the on-board computer and cruise control, the Micra Acenta offers a comprehensive range of infotainment technology.
It is even more networked with the N-Connecta, which rolls on 16-inch alloy wheels and is equipped with the navigation system, the intelligent key, the rain sensor and the automatic climate control.
The top equipment is achieved with the Micra Tekna. It has 17-inch alloy wheels ex works and comes with the Bose sound system, heated front seats, a reversing camera and comprehensive safety systems (lane departure warning system, fog lights, high-beam assistant, rain sensor).
There is a choice of three engines, managed by a five-Speed Manual gearbox: a 1.0-litre petrol engine with 71 hp, a 0.9-litre and 90 hp three-cylinder turbo petrol engine and a 1.5-litre Four-cylinder diesel also with 90 hp. The 90 hp three-cylinder only reveals its power at higher speeds. At low revs it seems powerless. Only at 2,000 revs does the three come to life and just before 4,000 revs it really picks up again. He does that with the typical three-cylinder sound - so not exactly quiet.
Despite this, this engine is a better choice compared to the 1.0-litre three-cylinder with 71 hp. The weaker engine consumes a similar amount (4.6 l/100 km), delivers hardly any torque (95 Nm) and accelerates sluggishly (from 0 to 100 km/h in 15.1 s).
With the Nissan Micra 0.9 IG-T, which produces 140 Nm of torque and runs at a brisk 175 (instead of 161 km/h), the sprint to 100 km/h takes 12.1 seconds. The consumption specified by Nissan, which can be two or three litres higher if the car is revved up frequently, is specified by Nissan as 4.4 to 4.6 l/100 km.
The 1.5 litre diesel engine uses even less fuel from the 41 litre tank. It consumes just 3.2 to 3.5 l/100 km and offers more pulling power with a torque of 220 Nm. With this motor, the Nissan Micra reaches a top speed of 179 km/h and sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.9 seconds. Nevertheless, it leaves a similar impression when driving as the petrol engines, which could confidently develop a little more steam in the light Micra.
If you are looking for the towing capacity for a Nissan Micra car then we're here to help. The towing capacity is a term used to describe the maximum weight of a trailer a Nissan Micra car can tow. There may be certain models of Nissan Micra car that cannot be used to tow a trailer. These will be highlighted with 'N KG' in the below list of Nissan Micra towing weights.
For those models of Nissan Micra where towing is allowed, we have detailed the Nissan Micra towing capacity for a braked trailer (this is when the trailer being towed has its own breaking system). To ensure you are both safe and legal it is really important that you check the Nissan Micra towing weight limit for the car.
As well as providing the braked towing capacity for your Nissan Micra, where data is available we also have also listed the Nissan Micra's unbraked towing capacity.
Here is a full list of the Unbraked and Braked Towing Capacity for the Nissan Micra. If you cannot find the Nissan Micra you are looking for please drop us a email and we will add this to the list.
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the towing weights provided on this website are accurate, we always recommend checking the vehicle log book (V5) for the official towing capacity. We accept no responsibility if the towing weights provided on this website are incorrect.
