NISSAN is preparing an all-new Micra for 2017 – and the super mini is set to be revealed at October’s Paris Motor Show. As seen here in our exclusive main image, the new comer will have a sportier, more radical design than the current model.

Last year’s Geneva Motor Show saw the reveal of the Sway concept, a first hint at how the new Micra will look. As you can see, the finished model will share much with the distinctive show car.

The Micra will be longer, wider and lower than at present, with sleek headlights, a familiar V-shaped grille design and angular air vents on the bumper all giving it a much more purposeful look from the front. The long nose creates a distinctive snout, while the sharper creases down the side make the car look much sportier than before.
