Micra with new base version using naturally aspirated 3-cylinder engine of 1,0 liter

A special presentation that makes the revered base version of the new generation Nissan Micra at least as rare as the type of power plant used in it - a 1,0-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine with a modest displacement of 998 cubic centimeters and just as modest in modern scale 70 hp

Contrary to the recent widespread trend towards forced refueling, the creators of the new car decided to save money by expanding the line of existing turbocharged engines with a displacement of 0,9 liters (gasoline) and 1,5 liters (diesel).

Considering the segment that the Micra is attacking after a complete redesign of the model last year, this strategy is definitely not without common sense - the small class in Europe is a crowded and highly contested area where any price advantage can be beneficial.

Especially when combined with compelling arguments such as modern shapes, rich equipment and the spacious, flexible interior of the fifth generation Micra.

The Micra's suspension capabilities far exceed the dynamic challenges the new unit's 70 horsepower can face, but the comfort offered by the chassis is great and goes very well with the simple combination of a naturally aspirated engine and a five-speed manual transmission.

The Micra 1.0 has enough traction to handle the crowds on city streets, and going out of town won't be a problem unless you necessarily want to compete with others and are overtaking carefully.

On the other hand, traveling on the highway will show you how easy it is to comply with speed limits and give you time to enjoy Bose's impeccable sound system. The noise from the new engine stays within good form until you chase the 6300 rpm power ceiling.

It is much smarter and more enjoyable to stick to around 3500 RPM, which is a snap with precise and easy transmission control.

Зconcluding

The naturally aspirated, liter version of the new generation Micra is an exotic offering that is sure to appeal to those with a relaxed driving style, for whom cost savings are more important than the higher dynamic performance of the same three-cylinder 0.9 Turbo.
