The Micra name is back at Nissan for 2015 and, as in the past, it has a microcar build that’s perfect for the city. In direct competition with the Toyota Yaris and the new Mitsubishi Mirage, the Micra features a 1.6L four-cylinder engine that develops more than 100 horsepower. It can be equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission, but comes factory standard with a five-speed automatic in the base trim.
