Launched a few years back in India, Nissan Micra has been straitjacketed to a “Cute Car” image in India. The relaxed curves and rounded profile have given it a laid-back sort of impression. It would be difficult for it to get mistaken as a sporty-car-that-gives-you-the-kick.
Somehow, the Nissan Micra has failed to set the cash registers ringing. Probably its cutesy image has shooed away customers who would prefer a bit more zest and liveliness. Nissan seems to have realized this shortcoming, and they have put together their efforts to improve the situation.
According to an Autocar India report, Nissan’s indigenous Motorsports and Performance division Nismo might be looking to usher in its tweaked Micra in India.
Here’s what you could get your hands on if you invest in a Nismo Micra :-
Nissan has penned high hopes on the Micra brand. They have brought in a facelifted Micra, right on the heels of an international launch. The previously available Micra has been relaunched as the Micra Active, and is less pricey than the facelifted edition.
We cannot confirm the Nismo Micra’s introduction into the Indian market, but if it’s done then we are sure it will add a new facet to Micra’s brand identity. Does the Nismo Micra excite you too?
