vIndianz.com (10 Mar, 2010) — Geneva: Auto Major Nissan has announced that it will bring to the Indian tarmac its new and ultra modern car christened Micra soon.
The Geneva Motor Show was witness to Dan Thompson, CEO of Nissan Australia, announcing that this plan would be the key driver for Nissan as part of its five-year growth plan, which ends in 2012.
The car is built on the V-Platform with a curved shape along with an accented waistline. Already tested in Japan, the model comes with 5-speed manual transmission and will be available in the CVT segment.
To be powered by an 80 HP 1.2-liter engine with an alternative 1.2 direct-injection three-cylinder engine to generate 98 HP, the car will sport engines designed to be ultimately fuel-efficient.
The car will come in the price range of Rs 3.8 lakh – Rs 5 lakh.
