Features
The Micra offers a few ‘firsts’ for this segment of cars. The most prominent being the keyless ignition (and entry of course!) – with the next car being the 13-lakh rupee Chevy Cruze to boast of such a functionality. The other unique feature that we like and would applaud Nissan for, is the inclusion of a driver side airbag even in the base variant. The base variant also gets some useful goodies like a trip computer, keyless entry with central locking, power steering, power windows with anti-pinch functionality, engine immobiliser etc. The top end variant gets some more sophisticated stuff like electric adjustment and auto-fold mechanism on the ORVMs, push button ignition, integrated audio system, ABS, EBD, passenger-side airbag etc. Nissan has packaged all the three variants viz. XE, XL, XV very wisely and has made sure that even the customer buying the base variant won’t feel cheated or under-privileged as he or she would in most of the competing ‘base-models’ around…
