The 5th generation Micra is one of Nissan’s top-selling models in Europe with over 230,000 units sold since 2017. It has been updated for 2021 with a new N-Sport trim.
The N-Sport will be a permanent member of the Micra lineup. On the exterior, it’ll get gloss-black front, rear and side finishers (door cladding), complemented with black mirror caps and 17-inch black ‘Perso’ alloy wheels. Also, on the N-Sport, the fog lights and headlights come in full-LED as standard.
Nissan will also offer N-Design, where the buyers can customize their Micra with the aforementioned exterior finishers in either gloss-black or chrome. This variant will offer new 16-inch 2-tone ‘Genki’ wheels.
The N-Sport interior will feature seats with Alcantara inserts and a matching dashboard, while the N-Design features black cloth seats with grey accents and leather-look dashboard panels, kneepads and door trimming. The N-Design buyers can also choose Energy Orange accents.

Powertrain
No mechanical changes. In the UK for example, the Micra is powered by a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that develops 74 kW (101 hp) and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque when paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. To show some mercy on the CVT, the torque output is limited to 144 Nm (106 lb-ft).
There’s also another 1.0L turbocharged petrol variant coupled with a 6-speed manual, where the output figures are 86 kW (117 hp) and 180 Nm (133 lb-ft) of torque; actually, 200 Nm (147 lb-ft) in overboost.
