Seems to be a well proportioned car. Also all the six colors looks excellent.

If priced competitively, I think they are going to be the next Hyundai in India.

Guys, Any idea if the Indian version will have CVT? It is strange that all the recent launches have ignored AT. But anyway, this CVT if launched should be better than AT.

Yes, All colours are looks good indeed. Looking at the features its been offered i20 is getting competition.

The car sports very high localisation (more than 85% I guess) and India will only get the 1.2L 3-pot petrol. The dci 1.5 diesel from Logan will come later. The car is 3725mm long which makes it 5cm longer than the Swift and most of the 80,000 production volume are for exports to Europe. The colours are excellent although I would pick the blue and pinkish-red.

First of all, i doubt that India will get only a petrol version. If they have invested so much, surely they would have done their research that Indian customers like diesels. I expect a simultaneous launch for both, like the Figo.

Second, i dont see the logic in dumping the Logan engine in a small car. It wont qualify for any small benefits with that engine. If i remember right, the regulations for duty exemption is 1.2P and 1.4D. So why would they fit a Logan engine (remember it is imported, so additional costs there as well). I'm also skeptical about how well it can be integrated into this car. I'm sure Nissan wont make such a compromise just to prove that the Renault-Nissan alliance is working!!

Finally, all due respect to you designersf but your info is wrong. Swift is 3760mm and until Nissan officaly releases spec data, all we can do is estimate the actual figure for the Micra. And as a side not, pls mention only one unit, say mm. I'm a little confused when u say 3725mm (which is wrong) and 5cm longer. Does that mean Swift is 3675mm? (again, pls correct it)

Oops, I might have mentioned it wrong. The Thai site says its 3725mm long which is 35mm less than the Swift at 3760mm. Error regretted.

I hope you havent come across the news article where the alliance has cleard all procedures for local production of the Logan's 1.5DCi engine sometime ago. So it will cost lesser. I have no idea about the reduction in capacity though.

[Daewood]

is the 3 cylinder engine the new fad for cars below 1200cc.?
First Polo petrol and now Micra.

[theMAG]

Nice. Now lets all hope that Nissan increase their service network (significantly).

[Sudan_NFS]

The interior gives me a strong feeling of santro mainly due to the lines of the dash board. I think they might price at 3.5 for petrol similar to Figo.

Sorry if the pic doesnt display properly, its my first time uploading one.

This is from the "Thai site". Looks like you have another error to regret!!

[rajivn]

I quite like the interiors. Looks like it comes loaded with all latest tech - should be on par with i20 features I guess. Auto Climate Control, MID, ICE with big display(maybe touchscreen), Steering mounted controls, etc. I hope these are not just for the export models, but provided for the Indian consumers too.

[tj123]

The new car looks cute some what in lines with the A-star.

It will take a considerable effort for Renault Nissan to sell this car as they don't have a pan India dealership & service network. There brands are also not well know here.
Generally Indian customers will not like to put there money if they are not sure about the brand.

[salbin]

Nice to see factory fitted ICE with in-built GPS Navigation and Maps!
Hope this version will be available in India also.

Alright alright man..I was wrong again. Good to know that you are such a huge fan of Nissan too.
