Nissan will be presenting the new generation Micra.

It joins the new Primera and strong selling X-TRAIL to spearhead Nissan's resur-gence in Europe.

But although the new Micra will be the focus of attention at the Paris show, it won't be the only new Nissan compact on display.

The Micra, designed in both Japan and Europe and to be built at Nissan's Sunderland plant, combines a new look with clever design and intelligent, easy-to-use tech-nology.

Sharing some of the limelight will be a Micra-based concept car, the Micra cabrio-let coupe.

The new Micra has many state-of-the art features such as automatic wipers, auto-matic air conditioning and for the first time, a unique Intelligent Key which allows the doors and tailgate to be locked and unlocked, and the engine started without having to insert either a key or a card into the vehicle.

This smart system allows the vehicle to detect when the Intelligent Key approaches within 80cm of the car the doors are then locked and unlocked by simply pressing a button on the door handle. mechanism.
