Nissan's Updated Hatchback Now With A European Touch

Like 'doctor who' the Nissan Micra has suffered a rollercoaster journey over the years. One moment, it’s a Brit-bubble hit, the next it transforms into a malformed pink convertible even diehard fans would struggle to love. It shows how badly global product syndication can work, ping-ponging between manufacturing and styling bases in Japan, Sunderland and India. No wonder the end result was a culture clash of fusion design.

So it comes as considerable relief that Nissan are atoning for the outgoing bland box. Make no mistake: the new 2017 Micra is a wildly better product, engineered and built in Europe to better suit local tastes.
