Next-gen Nissan Micra begins testing

The test mule’s styling seems to be borrowed from the Sway concept; expected to make international debut later this year.

Next-gen Nissan Micra begins testing

Nissan has started testing a new generation of the Micra. The heavily camouflaged test mule resembles the Sway concept that was revealed by the Japanese automaker at last year’s Geneva Motor Show.
The styling is radically different from the current generation model. The test mule features a sportier stance with a sloping roofline and rear spoiler, as well as an angular rear-end treatment and dramatic design lines down the sides of the car.

There are no mechanical details about the new Micra, though it will be based on the CMF platform shared by the Renault-Nissan alliance. The next-gen car will be produced in France at Renault’s facility in Flins alongside the Clio hatchback and the Zoe EV.

It is unconfirmed whether Nissan will be bringing this new Micra to India or if it will be developing an all-new hatchback – built to a low-cost structure and based on the existing Micra’s ‘V’ platform – specifically for the country.
