Backing off all the previewed snaps, here’s the real shot of the Gen5 Nissan Micra. The brand new mini hatch has been landed at the 2016 Paris Motor Show in all its glory. With aggressive styling, advanced tech, and better safety equipment, the sportier Micra has lighted the spark on the premiere day of the event.
Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan Motor Company, during the unveil, said, "When the first Micra appeared more than 30 years ago, it marked a revolution in the small hatchback segment and opened a new chapter for Nissan. The fifth generation Micra is just as revolutionary, and will raise expectations for what a hatchback can, and should, deliver to its customers."
"Following in the wheel tracks of distinctive cars like Qashqai and Juke, the latest Micra reinforces Nissan’s position as a leader in automotive design. It also shows our intent to compete right at the top of Europe’s B-segment market – the largest and most competitive B-segment market in the world," he added further.
Styling has been adopted by the Sway Concept showcased at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, which mainly includes a new V-motion grille, boomerang-shaped lights, and the floating roof- indicating the signature feature of Nissan. Other than this, we’ll get to see the C-pillars along with the spoiler getting integrated into the elongated roof line.
