K13 Series II

NISSAN’S long-time coming Micra facelift has finally surfaced in Australia, more than two years after the first pictures of it were released, but with pricing and features designed to make a splash in the Micro (sub-B) segment.

Gone is the mid-range ST-L, leaving just the ST (now with more kit like cruise control) and Ti (adding GPS and a rear view camera) to tempt buyers.

Along with upgraded multimedia and better trim, there’s a new nose, tail-light lenses and different wheel covers, though nothing has changed underneath while the proven 56kW/100Nm 1.2-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine remains the same.
