New Nissan Micra Diesel Version launched in india - Rs.5.83 & 6.33

   

Nissan has just launched the Micra diesel in India. The Micra diesel is available in two trim levels; XV and XV Premium, and the prices are Rs 5.85lakh and Rs 6.33lakh respectively (ex-showroom Mumbai).

The new Micra diesel is powered by the  1.5-litre dCI motor producing 63bhp and 16.3kgm of max torque.  With the combination of light kerb weight and the potent 1.5 dCI motor, the Micra has smooth power delivery, sufficient power and breathtaking fuel economy. Although Micra’s engine is an 8-valve motor, the engine is larger than the Swift’s 16-valve engine unit. As per the company claims, the diesel hatch would give efficiency figure of 23.08kpl and would hit the 100kph mark in 14.37 sec, half a second slower than the Swift diesel.

                                      

The top-of-the-line XV Premium gets larger 15inch wheels and wider tyres (175/60 R15) as compared to the XV variant that comes with 165/70 R14 tyres – similar to the petrol Micra. The overall height of the diesel variant is slightly lower at 1525mm as compared to the petrol variant's 1530mm. Kerb weight for the XV variant stands at 992kg, going upto 1008kg for the XV Premium variant.

In addition to the petrol variants, the Micra diesel gets body coloured rear spoiler, leather wrapped steering wheel and gear knob. However, features like security alarm system, front passenger airbag, ABS, EBD and Brake Assist are missing from the diesel Micra.
Nissan India has already commenced pre-order bookings of the Micra diesel and customers can book the diesel hatch for an initial booking amount of Rs 50,000 through all 20 Nissan dealerships across India.The Micra diesel will be rolled out from Nissan’s manufacturing plant at Oragadam, near Chenna.
