Nissan has revealed two new petrol engines for the Micra supermini, as well as a series of other updates.
Both new power options are derived from turbocharged 1.0-litre units, with a new top-end option developing 115bhp and is labelled as the performance-angled option of the Micra range.
Paired to a six-speed manual transmission, this unit can get the Micra from 0-60mph in 9.9 seconds and return a claimed 47.9mpg. Emissions are 114g/km CO2.
The other option makes 99bhp and can be paired to either a five-speed manual or the Xtronic CVT automatic transmission. Nissan claims it can return up to 50.4mpg and CO2 emissions of 103-105g/km depending on the car’s specification.
Nissan is also providing a new trim level – N-Sport – which is an attempt to get the Micra into the warm hatch market with the Ford Fiesta ST-Line, Volkswagen Polo R-Line and Seat Ibiza FR.
N-Sport models come with a sportier look, such as gloss black mouldings, carbon-effect finish on the alloy wheels, rear privacy glass and N-Sport badging – while the cabin features Alcantara and leather upholstery, rear view camera with sensors and keyless entry and start.

Prices for the revised Micra start from £12,875, with new versions available to order now.
