THE restyled Nissan Micra, which goes on sale in the UK in April, will be the star attraction on the manufacturer's stand at next week's Geneva Motor Show. The new Micra looks larger and more aggressive with a new bonnet, grille and rear lights among the main exterior changes.

On the inside, the interior has been redesigned and offers enhanced ergonomics, greater comfort and higher levels of equipment plus new interior trim materials and colours. Steering feel and stability have been improved, and noise, vibration and harshness have been significantly reduced.

The new car also features a number of enhanced safety features including standard driver's airbag, optional passenger airbag and ABS brakes, improved headlamp performance and improved braking performance. Nissan is planning to launch a total of 20 new models over the next four years.
