Nissan Micra

 ABOUT:

The Nissan Micra, known in Latin America and in most of Asia as the Nissan March, is a super mini produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan since 1982.
The first sketches of the latest generation Nissan Micra were unveiled on 1 October 2009, referred to as W02A, later referred to in Nissan press releases as K13. Nissan has stated that the model will be built in five countries, but only four are confirmed so far: Thailand for the Japanese, Hong Kong, Macau, South-East Asian and Australian markets; India for the Indian, European, Middle Eastern and African markets; China for the Mainland China market; Mexico for Mexican, Central American, South American and Caribbean markets. Nissan launched the new Nissan Micra globally on 2 March 2010 at the 80th Geneva Auto Show in Switzerland. It will be sold in more than 160 countries, including Thailand in March 2010, India in July 2010, and Europe in November 2010. This was the first of the March/Micra to be built in a North American plant, even though this generation will not have any sales in the United States & Canada.
It is based on the new Type-V platform with a new 1.2-liter HR 12DE (XH5) 59 kW (79 hp) 108 N·m (80 ft·lbf), 3-cylinder engine (the first for a March/Micra). In the end of 2011 Nissan introduce the supercharged version of 1.2 (HR 12DDR) called in Europe as Micra 1.2 DIG-S and the other engine 1.5 (HR 15DE) and 1.6 (HR 16DE) for South American, Asian and Australian country. The car is expected to be fuel efficient, delivering 18 km to a litre of petrol. The new Idling Stop System is reported to improve fuel economy by 2.0 km/L. It features variable control of voltage for power generation with alternator (including regenerative charging function with braking energy). Micra's coefficient of drag is just 0.32 achieved in part by the sleek roof line, with a raised rear end, which optimally adjusts airflow to the rear sides and other elements of the body designed to reduce air resistance such as door mirrors, a large front spoiler and the under body configuration. A lightweight roof panel helps to keep weight to 915 kg (2,020 lb). The car was designed to appeal to a unisex crowd, yet look stylish and elegant to face the tough competition. Micra's new-generation Xtronic CVT features a new structure combining a belt-operated CVT with an auxiliary two-speed transmission. The CVT raises the transmission ratio by more than 20% compared to other CVTs in its class, providing enhanced responsiveness on starting and acceleration and improved quietness during high-speed driving. With the auxiliary transmission, the size and weight of the CVT unit is significantly reduced. Friction is reduced by about 30% compared to other CVT's in its class, achieved by the increased transmission ratio, reduced pulley size and weight, and reduced oil agitating resistance — helping improve fuel economy. An electric oil pump is adopted in vehicles equipped with Idling Stop. Quicker oil pressure response improves startup performance and thus contributes to an improvement in fuel economy. While Idling Stop is in operation, pulley rotation is temporarily locked inside the CVT and is slowly unlocked when the engine starts again. This prevents reverse movement during a hill start and enables smooth startup. In India the Micra was offered with a diesel unit: the classic 1.5 dCI K9K produced by Renault with 65 hp.
