The Nissan Micra , known in Latin America and in much of Asia as Nissan March (? , M? chi ) , is a supermini manufactured by Japanese manufacturer Nissan since 1982.
Nissan Micra is not sold in Korea and South Asia.
In Japan, Micra replaced Nissan Cherry in the Japanese market and exclusively for Nissan's Nissan Japan Cherry Shop until 1999, when the "Cherry" network was merged into Nissan Red Stage until 2003. Until Nissan started selling machine makers badge from another Japanese factory in March is Nissan's smallest vehicle, and not renamed and sold on other Nissan Japan dealer network. span> First generation (K10; 1982-1992)
Micra K10
The original Micra (name of the K10 chassis) was introduced to the Japanese market in October 1982 as a challenger to Honda City, Daihatsu Charade, Suzuki Cultus, and Toyota Starlet. It was meant to replace Nissan Cherry as a competitor in the supermini sector, as the Cherry models sold in Europe are getting bigger with every next generation. In Japan, it was exclusive to the Nissan Cherry store location, as the Japanese market Cherry changed its name to March, benefiting from engineering contributions from the 1966 acquisition of Nissan Prince Motor Company, which originally developed Cherry out. Micra has a very low fuel consumption made possible by a specially developed machine used only in Micra, unusually high gearing, and very low weight: only 630 kg (1,390 pounds) in early European trim. Low weight targeting requires minimal isolation, which means that early Micras is quite loud.
Bodystyle was originally designed for Fiat as a substitute for Fiat 127, but Fiat then adopted the Giugiaro-style Uno instead. It was introduced in the European market in June 1983, and in Canada in 1984 for the 1985 model (replacing the slightly larger Nissan Pulsar hatchback). Because Micra was launched during Nissan's rebranding effort to systematically eliminate the name of Datsun, the small "Datsun" ( ????? , Dattosan ) appeared at the back door for the first two years, and in some European markets, the car was known as "Datsun-Nissan Micra". The Datsun badge was completely gone by the end of 1984. Micra was initially available with a very fine SO10-MA10S engine. European market cars develop 50 PS or 55 PS in high compression versions paired with a five speed option. It is also available with automatic (called "Nissanmatic"), four speed gearbox or five speed. Both manual gearboxes are automated and five speeds are unusual in today's supermini. The Nissanmatic model initially had the 60Ã,® version, PS (44 kW) from a 1 liter engine.
It was one of the few small cars that were important to launch into the European market during 1983. Also launched that year were Fiat Uno, Peugeot 205, Vauxhall Nova (the only British model that had been launched across Europe the previous year as Opel Corsa) and second generation Ford Fiesta. It sold well in the UK, launched there in June 1983 and peaked at over 50,000 sales for 1989, and was one of the most popular imported cars of its era.
This model was revised in June 1985, identified by a slightly larger rear light cluster. The Japanese market saw the debut of the first Micra Turbo/MA10ET, in which Nissan transfers turbochargers to the 1.0à ,®, small L engine. This version was never sold in Europe, where the only machine that ever existed was 1.0 and 1.2 units. The 1.2, with the larger MA12 1.2à £, L engine with an electronically controlled carburetor with 57 PS (42 kW), arrived at the end of 1987. The non-catalyst version produced 60 PS. Another facelift came in March 1989, which consisted of several minor upgrades such as deeper bumpers, new front grille, small interior details, and changing headlights. This is also when the five-door hatchback version was introduced in Europe.
The Micra chassis produces a number of variations. Be-1 (BK10), launched at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1985 (but not sold until 1987), is a limited edition model with a rounder bodyshape, and only 10,000 are sold. In 1987, the hatchback was retro detailing, looking like the Pao (??) canvas (??) (PK10) was launched (also at Tokyo Motorshow) and sold to the public in 1989; 51,657 models sold. The canvas-coated Figaro (FK10) casualties (FK10) were launched at the same event in 1989 but were not released until 1991. Due to demand for Figaro exceeding 20,000 vehicles built, Nissan sells cars with lotteries: winners can order for car. Although the JDM-only model, Figaro is one of the most imported models of K10 derivatives; his popularity among many celebrity owners helped him gain cult status. K10 ceased production on December 21, 1992, although its successor began production a few months earlier.
During his lifetime, Micra earned a good reputation for reliability and economy. In 1995, it occupied a small car class in a four to six year old automobile reliability survey conducted by the German Automobile Association (ADAC), with 7.5 recorded damage per 1,000 vehicles for the four-year-old Micra and 11.5 for the six-year -an car: this compared to 8.0 damage per 1,000 cars for Volkswagen Polos four years and 15.3 for Polos six years. (The class losers are Fiat Uno with 20.7 damage per 1,000 for four-year cars and 37.3 for the six-year-old Unos.In the long run, Micra will also continue to achieve a much higher survival rate than many of its rivals.)
For the 1991 model, the Nissan Sentra B12 re-entered Canada to replace Micra as Nissan Sentra Classic after Nissan announced it would not import Micra into Canada after 1991. Sentra Classics was built in Mexico.
Super S
The European Super S trim market became available along with a second facelift in 1989. Sporty Super S includes body bodykits, racing seats and tachometers and are available only in black, gray, white and red. Despite its appearance it has the same MA12 engine as the standard Micra K10, although catalytic converters are a feature that can not be removed on a car that makes it slightly less powerful than a non-cat car.
Super Turbo
In 1988, Nissan launched a limited unit of 10,000 units of cars (certified) Nissan 1989 Micra Super Turbo (EK10GFR/GAR). Both this and the 1988 Micra R (EK10FR) feature the same highly advanced advanced (supercharger plus turbocharger) engine in an all-aluminum 930-cc eight-valve MA09ERT unit that produces 110 PS JIS (81 kW/108 hp). ) at 6400 rpm. This car is equipped with automatic 3-speed manual gearbox or speed 5 with a limited thick slip differential, as well as options such as air conditioners and electric mirrors. Micra Super Turbo still holds the crown for the fastest Micra production in Nissan's history, with factory performance figures of 7.7 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) and 15.5 seconds to run a quarter mile. It has a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).

Micra_K11_.281992.E2.80.931997.29 "> Micra K11 (1992-1997)
The second generation K11 is built in the UK, Japan and Taiwan. Launched in Japan in January 1992, and released in Europe in the fourth quarter of this year. It is powered by a new All-Aluminum 1.0à ¢, L (CG10DE) and 1.3Ã, L (CG13DE) DOHC 16-valve engine, with 55Ã, PS DIN (40Ã, kW/54Ã, hp) and 75Ã, PS (55Ã, kW/75Ã, bhp) respectively (higher output is claimed in Japan, according to JIS rather than DIN/ECE rating), both with ECCS (Electronic Concentrated Control System) fuel injectors. It is the second line of Nissan models to be produced in the UK at Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK (NMUK) factory, Washington Tyne and Wear. The diesel versions are offered with the PSA TUD 1.5AL market in Europe such as the Micra 1.5Ã, automatic transmission, D. CVT and Power steering are options on some models, and the equipment list includes safety features that are not normally available in this market segment: the hardened side is the standard safety belt and pre-tensioning and the driver's airbag is optional. However, Mk2 Micra scored only two simple stars in the European NCAP testing in 1997. Airbags, antilock brakes, electric windows, central locking and air conditioning are either standard equipment or options on some models in the Micra range. The European model range consists of 1.0L and LX, 1.3LX, SLX, and Super S. The car soon won the European Car of the Year award for 1993 (the first Japanese automaker to do so) and the Good Design Award (Trade and Industrial Design Award in Japan ) along with the Japanese Car of the Year award in 1992. In his introduction in 1993, he won the Automobile Researchers and Journalists' Car of the Year Award in Japan. After winning several awards, Nissan produced the V3 Award.
After a small change in 1996, in 1998, six years after its launch, Micra received a facelift that saw its whole range get power steering as the standard.
There Cabriolet (FHK11) was launched at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1995, but was not sold until August 1997, with electricity. It is produced in limited quantities for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) only. However, very similar to Nissan Figaro, some have been imported into the UK unofficially. There is also an estate version called the March Box (WK11), which was inaugurated in November 1999, with a dual fold back seat, along with an automatic transmission of four-wheel drive models.
K11C_ (facelift) "> K11C (facelift)
In late 1997, a facelift version was introduced, and was built from late 1997 to early 2003. Only a few units were produced in 1997, as most of them started in 1998.
Cumulative visual changes of the first model include front grille and revised headlamps, redesigned front and rear bumper, oval instead of a round side repeater indicator, major changes to the interior and dash, redesigned rear light lenses, and radio air repositioning from over the A-right pillar to the center of the roof, toward the back.
At the end of 2000, the original facelift was replaced by a second version known as the K11C. Although it still looks very similar from the outside, the engine has been updated to run on newer coilpack systems (where previous models have been installed with distributors). As well as this, the secondary catalytic converter has been removed and the main catalytic converter (on the manifold) is enlarged. Other exterior changes include new lights on the bumper, modified lower body, orange turn signal and minor changes to the interior. Further changes include a redesigned rear wiper that is resting horizontally instead of vertically, and the high-level brake light is being reduced in size and mounted on top of the rear window instead of the parcel shelf.
The CG13DE 1.3l (1275CC) engine offered on the previous K11 was removed on the second facelift, and replaced by 1.348cc "1.4" unit (CGA3DE). The 1.0l CG10DE remains in the second facelift model but has a slightly higher power output (60HP compared to 53HP before)
In 2001 Muji, Japan's famous "non-brand" issued a limited release of 1,000 disgruntled and dissatisfied Nissan Marches, only available online. It was intended as an exercise to test their online marketing system and sold as " Muji Car 1000 " (????? 1000). The rear seats are coated with vinyl, the hubcap is very minimal, and the car is only offered in "white marble". Muji Car 1000 has a four-speed automatic transmission and a 1 liter CG10DE engine.

Transmission
The new generation micra Xtronic CVT has a new structure that incorporates a belt-operated CVT with an additional two-speed transmission. The CVT increases the transmission rate by more than 20% compared to other CVTs in its class, providing better response on start and acceleration and enhancing quietness during high-speed driving. With additional transmission, the size and weight of the CVT unit is significantly reduced. Friction is reduced by about 30% compared to other CVTs in its class, achieved by an increased transmission ratio, reducing the size and weight of the pulleys, and reducing resistance to oil - helps improve fuel economy. Electric oil pumps are adopted in vehicles equipped with Idling Stop. Faster oil pressure response improves startup performance and thus contributes to improved fuel economy. While Idling Stop Operates, the pulley rotation is temporarily locked inside the CVT and is slowly unlocked when the engine starts again. This prevents backward movement at start on the hill and allows smooth startup.
Nissan announced that the Mexican-made Micra available in Canada will have a 4-speed automatic option from 2015 onwards, with DOHC 1.6 engine.
The new generation Nissan Micra (K13) has a 5 speed manual transmission. Manual transmission uses up to 15% less fuel than the Xtronic CVT depending on driving conditions and driving style.

Marketing by country
Australia
The British-made Micra K11 was briefly exported to the Australian market starting in 1995 with three marching models, a 3-door LX, 5-door SLX and 3-door Super S (the only 303 ever sold in Australia and a hefty price premium demand other models). Leading performance in its class, a highly dynamic chassis with well-sorted suspension, spacious interiors, and an above-average build quality are Micra's strengths compared to its Korean rivals such as Hyundai Excel, Daewoo Cielo and Ford Festiva. A poor exchange rate between the UK and Australia means the Micra price is rather steep and Australian buyers see cheaper Koreans and more established Japanese supermarkets, such as Suzuki Swift and Daihatsu Charade, as they offer better value for money. Also, Micra received the lowest rating (one star) in the Australian crash test. The Micra was dropped from a row of Nissan Australia in 1997.

Republic of Ireland
In the Republic of Ireland, Micra K11 is a popular car. The trim level is parallel to the European mainland. It still remains a very common sight on Irish streets today.
English
From 1992 Micras was built in England at NMUK factory in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, where a total of 2,368,704 was built in late July 2010.
K10
Micra K10 was first sold in the UK during the summer of 1983, and it was an instant sales success. In its best year, 1990, it was the eleventh most popular new car in the UK with just under 50,000 sales. It is a popular choice with driving instructors and unattractive drivers thanks to the ease of driving, building robust and durable mechanical components. 343,411 sold in nearly a decade. Recently in early 2007, nearly 15 years after the last sample was sold, 96,421 examples were still being circulated, and four years later, as the 20th anniversary of its destruction, the number remaining on the UK road is likely to be still in five figures. This is very good compared to many other popular small cars in Britain in its day, especially Metro Austin built by British and Fiat Uno Italia.
K11
Micra's second incarnation, K11, was launched in the UK in late 1992, with production occurring in Britain at the Sunderland plant rather than in Japan. It is available with limited engines: 1.0 and 1.3 petrol units. A facelift during the summer of 2000 saw 1.3 dipetieskan and replaced with 1.4 units. This increase, following a previous change in 1998, enhanced the appeal of Micra and was still quite popular at the launch of its successor in December 2002.
Micra K11 (as it is known in Europe), is the third model after Nissan Bluebird and Primera built at NMUK Nissan factory in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.
In 1998, the Sunderland factory, producing a million micron, became the first Japanese manufacturer in Europe to reach the milestone.
On January 16, 2013, popular YouTube stars Vsauce and FastFuriousAndFunny lifted the Nissan Micra K11 with 180 rubber bands. They then destroy the car.
K12
Like the previous version of Micra, the third generation model, the K12, was made at the Sunderland plant. This engine has a wider engine, including diesel engine direct-injection 1.2 petrol diesel and Renault sourced 1.5, and offers a better driving experience. The chassis will be the basis of the next Renault Clio, launched in 2005 but still built in France. The stylish and all-new Micra helps Nissan increase its market share in the supermini sector, which has declined in the last year or two years from the life of its predecessor. Though it has never been featured in the top 10 UK's best-selling SMMT cars, it is among the top 10 UK-selling cars among private buyers for most of its production life.
In 2003, the BBC's Top Gear program of the BBC featured segments on money-value cars, highlighting specifications that could be purchased for Ã, £ 9,000. Micra K12 was selected and tested by presenter Richard Hammond, who gave it a positive review. This despite comparing its quality with the Boeing 737, concluded that Micra "has all the toys". However, when Hammond tested Micra C C in 2006, he was less enthusiastic. This is because the model is pink and as a result, he spends most of the segment driving it with a paper bag over his head.
The C C pink is one of only five, created specifically for Nissan sponsorship of the C C TLC Tour in 2005-06, in support of Breast Cancer Breakthrough charity. Such is the public response that Nissan later announced the launch of Micra C C Pink, limited to 100 models. It was quickly sold out and the other production was announced in August 2006, this time limited to 175 cars.
In July 2004, Nissan announced that Coral Blue K12 Micra has become one million NMUK cars for the UK market, and that the Sunderland factory, has generated over 250,000 K12 since the launch of the model, for sale in up to 45 markets.
In August 2006, K10 still received credit for its impressive durability. An Auto Express survey reveals that of 340,000 K10 Micras registered in the UK between 1983 and 1992, 96,000 are still on the road - almost 30%, an impressive figure for a car that has been out of production. for 14 years. This gives it a much higher rating than Fiat Uno and Austin Metro, both of which have shrunk to less than 3%.
In 2007, with the Micra K12C, the model class was brought into line with the rest of the Nissan UK range, namely Visia, Acenta, Tekna, 160 SR and Active Luxury.
Micra C C convertible is available in Class Visia, Acenta, Tekna and Active Luxury. However, the 1.6-liter engine is available for all models, except for Visia.
Reputation and popularity
The K10/K11 generation of Micra is known for its reliability, excellent build quality, and user friendliness. The K12 model has received consistently good reviews, with major criticism is the lack of headroom and luggage space in the back.
There are many tuning parts available for cars. Machine transplantation is nothing new to Micra, as many owners with mechanical skills have installed SR20DE and more commonly, GA16DE to their K11. Turbocharger kits are a popular choice for K11 and K12s.
The insurance company, Folksam, judged it as a dangerous car in case of an accident for a model produced between 1988 and 1995. However, safety specifications have been increased with successive models. Euro NCAP ratings from Micra are two stars for K11 and four for K12.
Micra K12 tops the list of What Car? magazineà ¢ â,¬â "¢ s Security Supertest in 2003, passed both in and out exams and achieving maximum score for its locking and immobilizer system.
In 2005, British motor insurance research expert, Thatcham introduced the standard for the keyless, which requires the device to operate at a distance of more than 10 cm from the vehicle. In independent tests, Micra is found to be the safest, while certain BMW and Mercedes models fail, theoretically capable of allowing cars to be taken away while their owners are refueling.
In What is a Car? "Supertest Reliability in 2007, Nissan ranked 6th out of 26 manufacturers overall, with K11 Micra (1998-2002) being the most reliable model.
Motorsport
Nissan first entered Micra in motorsports with March Superturbo R. Introduced in 1987, the rare pre-facelift K10 was weighed at 740 kg (1630 lb) with half the interior, roll cage and tool kit. Built for a new sub-1600 cc Group A group, and shortly after that in 1988 Nissan released March Superturbo as a road car.
While March is a favorite with racers in the Japanese Rally Championship, Swedish veteran rider Per Eklund completed RAC 1988 at 21st and Acropolis Rally 1989 in 10th place.
During the K11 production period, there is a series of national rally championship trophy held throughout Europe called Micra Challenge . This is intended as a cheap introduction to the rally, because all cars have a race-ready 1.3-L engine. The British series runs between 1995 and 1999. This model is still used in clubs and national rallies. In France, the model 1.3a, L is used as the basis for a one-make cup racing circuit for celebrity drivers, Nissan Stars Cup. In Portugal, Micra spawned a one-make trophy with the National Rally Championship for Beginners.
Both K10 and K11 models are a very popular choice for beginner autograss but because K10 is getting rarer, K11 is more commonly used now. K11 is also very popular as a 'micro' banger in the UK, competing in the 1200cc engine bundle class with success.
In 2005 the K11 model was nicknamed Little Bandit , built with SR20DET tuned, generating about 400 bhp, which competed in several motorsport events.
In the late 1990s, the K11 was adapted into a mid-engined VT30 4WD configuration for the race at TrophÃÆ'Ã… © e Andros, the French ice racing series. Drivers who rode this car include ÃÆ'â € ras Comas, Philippe Gache, StÃÆ'Â © phane Peterhansel and Emmanuel Collard.
Nissan sponsors a one-make series in Japan called the March Cup , which has been running since the introduction of K10. Typically JGTC support races, these are held in two separate five-round championships called the West Japan Series and the East Japan Series, and the women's series runs simultaneously. At the end of the season, the best-performing cars of both sides meet for the Champions Cup final at the end of the season.
Starting in 2015, Nissan Canada will sponsor Nissan Micra Cup. It will consist of 10 races in 5 weekends in Quebec. Each race weekend will include a 30-minute trial, a 30-minute qualifying session, and two 30-minute races.
