Nissan Micra facelift coming soon, to get new features

The Nissan Micra will soon get a facelift in India, which will come with minor cosmetic tweaks and some feature additions. The company has released a set of teaser images of the upcoming update, revealing a few features that will be added to the facelifted car.

One of the released teaser images shows a zoomed out shot of the new Micra with the caption 'It Can Sense Rain'. This points towards the possibility of addition of rain sensing wipers to the updated model. This may as well be an indication that the facelift might be introduced in the monsoon season. Other features that will likely be added to the new Micra include a touchscreen infotainment system and reverse parking sensors and camera.

Changes on the 2017 Micra will likely be limited to the feature list and cosmetics. As a result, it is not expected to get any mechanical updates and will thus be powered by the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. Both these powerplants come with a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard, while the petrol model also comes with a CVT unit.
