New Nissan Micra priced from £11,995

The new Nissan Micra will be priced from £11,995 when the car goes on sale early next year.

Range-topping Tekna versions will cost from £17,295.

There will be five grade levels to choose from: Visia, Visia+, Acenta, N-Connecta and Tekna.

The predicted bestseller is the IG-T 90 Acenta, costing £14,995.

At launch, the Micra will be offered with a 0.9-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine or a 1.5-litre diesel, both developing 90ps. A naturally aspirated 73ps 1.0-litre petrol engine will join the range soon after.

Options include keyless entry with engine start/stop button; heated front seats, and a first-of-its-kind Bose sound system with speakers built into the driver seat headrest.

Buyers will also be able to further personalise their Micra with a range of exterior and interior personalisation packs including contrast-colour cabin and body features, leather trim, 17” alloy wheels and body decals.

There will be colours to choose from, including solid, metallic and pearlescent paint options.

Full range pricing, as well as specifications and options for the new Micra, will be announced in mid-December when pre-orders open in the UK, ahead of the model’s 2017 arrival.
