Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022) Review

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022) At A Glance

3/5
Honest John Overall Rating
This generation of Nissan Micra proved to be massive improvement over its predecessor, which made it one of the best small cars of its time.

+Peppy engines. Good quality and comfortable interior. Generous safety equipment.

-Basic models miss out on some handy equipment including air-conditioning. Can’t match the class best for handling.

Insurance Groups are between 1–8
On average it achieves 81% of the official MPG figure

The Nissan Micra used to be the mainstay of learners, new drivers and thrifty motorists. But then Nissan made a mess of it with the dull 2010 model. Fortunately, the 2017 version was a huge improvement. As a result, as a used car it can hold its head high alongside the likes of the big-selling Ford Fiesta and reliable Toyota Yaris. Read on for our full Nissan Micra review.

The looks of this Nissan Micra divide opinion – we have to admit we are not huge fans – but it does at least stand out in the small car sector.

However, where the Nissan Micra appeals is with its easy-to-drive nature, cheap running costs and lots of safety tech as standard.

It was even available with a host of personalisation features, so you could have vibrant interior and exterior details, a variety of different alloy wheel designs, upholstery finishes and even decals or roof stripes.

Just be careful what you take on with a used model so that it suits your taste, and not just your budget.

Originally, there were three engines – a basic, old-fashioned 1.0-litre petrol with 75PS, a 0.9-litre turbocharged petrol with 90PS and a 1.5 dCi diesel, also with 90PS. Of these, the 0.9 is probably the best choice, since it’s punchy, responsive and fairly economical.

In 2019, a 1.0-litre IG-T 100PS petrol was introduced, available with a five-speed manual or a new CVT automatic that Nissan calls ‘Xtronic’.

A warm hatch was launched with a 117PS 1.0-litre DIG-T engine.

All the final suspension and steering development was undertaken in the UK and the Nissan Micra makes light work of uneven, potholed British roads. It can’t match the class best (such as the Ford Fiesta) for handling, but it’s composed nonetheless.

The cabin is nicely finished, with a neat layout and some plush material choices, plus it’s fairly practical. The back row is big enough for adults at a push, while the boot is a decent size and shape. There is a high load lip – but that’s only an issue with bulky, heavy items.

Even the most basic Nissan Micra comes with lane departure warning, lane keep assistance and auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection – gizmos that weren’t often standard even on cars from the class above.

Weirdly, though, there was no standard air-conditioning or alloy wheels.

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022) handling and engines

Driving Rating
It's telling that this generation of Nissan Micra was developed on UK roads, as it’s supple and comfortable, and surprisingly fun to drive.

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022): Handling and ride quality

The final stages of development for this generation of Nissan Micra were undertaken in the UK, and that shows in the way the car drives.

The steering is nicely weighted and the suspension does a good job of balancing comfortable ride quality with predictable handling, even on lumpy and uneven roads.

This handling is helped by a system which is rather grandly named Intelligent Trace Control. This gently brakes the inside wheels in a corner to help tighten up the line in a very subtle but useful way, making the Nissan Micra surprisngly agile on a twisting road.

While it’s capable, it’s not in the same league as a Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo, but it’s still very enjoyable, especially with one of the three-cylinder petrols under the bonnet.

It’s responsive from low-engine speeds, so gives enough punch for overtaking, but it’s also economical with an official figure of more than 60mpg.

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022): Engines

The Nissan Micra is available with 1.5-litre dCi diesel engine. This produces 90PS, but it makes more torque and is quieter, so works well on the motorway. However, the 0.9 isn’t bad for cruising either.

There’s also an entry-level 1.0-litre petrol with 75PS, which is more suitable for drivers who spend the majority of their time around town and will prove very cheap to insure. All three come with a five-speed manual transmission.

In early 2019, two new engines were added to the Nissan Micra range. Both are three-cylinder 1.0-litre units, but they are two different engines.

The first is the 1.0-litre IG-T with 100PS, which is more than adequate for everyday driving. But the real appeal is that it’s available with an automatic – the first time this was the case with a Nissan Micra.

The CVT features ‘steps’ to give a passable impression of a seven-speed torque converter. It’s very pleasant and fuss free.

Alongside that is another three-cylinder 1.0-litre, but this one is badged DIG-T and has 117PS. It’s feels far more sprightly than the IG-T, with good mid-range pulling power helped by 180Nm of torque.

It has a decent turn of speed, too, and although not as impressive as the Ford 1.0 EcoBoost 125, is very good performer nonetheless.

Choose this engine and regardless of trim, it comes with a 10mm lower ride height, revised suspension tuning and a quicker steering rack.

Sadly, the results don’t quite work and rather than the comfortable nature of the Nissan Micra we like, it changes to a firm riding hatch with busy suspension that doesn’t seem to settle down. 

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022): Safety

Feature that really set the Nissan Micra apart from its rivals are lane keep assistance, lane departure warning and auto emergency braking, with pedestrian detection as standard.

These technologies are typically only found in bigger cars of the time and provide useful safety benefits, but also reduce the cost of insurance.

There are some extra safety and convenience technologies that were not standard, including a birds-eye camera that gives a clear around view of the car to make parking effortless.

It’s definitely worth considering a used car with this, because the rearward visibility isn’t great.

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022): Towing

The Nissan Micra is not the first car that springs to mind when you think of towing, but it can tow a braked trailer of up to 555kg depending on the trim and engine fitted.

Engine MPG 0-62 CO2
0.9 IG-T 61–64 mpg 11.8–12.1 s 99–129 g/km

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022): Practicality

Space is fine at the front, with a decent amount of elbow room and plenty of adjustment in the driving position, along with cubby holes for storing small items.

The rear is less impressive, with a sloping roofline impeding headroom, although there’s enough space for short trips or smaller occupants.

The boot is practical, with a decent 300 litres of capacity. That’s more than enough for a weekly shop or a weekend away, but there is a load lip to lift bulky items over and the rear seat backs don’t fold flush with the boot floor.

With the rear seats down, capacity is 1004 litres.

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022): Quality and finish

Inside, the Nissan Micra is nicely finished, with a comfortable, good-quality feel.

There are lots of optional colours and inlay details too, so if you want to liven up the dashboard with textured blue rubber or orange leather, then you can with the used example you choose.

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022): Infotainment

Aside from the handy safety gadgets, basic Nissan Micra Visia models come with Bluetooth connectivity and not much more. You’ll need an Acenta trim or above to get a touchscreen system.

Thankfully it’s a good one, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022) value for money

Value for Money Rating
Excellent fuel economy makes the Nissan Micra a sound bet for city driving and beyond, and you can also bank on strong reliability.

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022): Prices

An early Nissan Micra of this generation is likely to cost from around £9000, with a reasonable 45,000 miles on the clock.

Opt for one of the last of this run of Nissan Micras, and you’ll spend as much as £17,000 for one with little more than delivery mileage in an upper trim level.

Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022): Running Costs

The petrol-powered versions of the Nissan Micra were all claimed to top 60mpg.

Our Real MPG data suggests that’s more likely to be 50mpg in normal driving, which is still plenty to be getting along with.

The diesel engine in the Nissan Micra is even better, claiming up to 80.7mpg and providing 70mpg in reality. For higher mileage drivers, this is a very frugal way to get about.

Insurance (groups 1 to 8) and servicing will not unduly raid your bank balance, and nor will road tax costs as all Nissan Micras fall into the post-1 April 2017 category, with a flat rate of £180 per year.

The Nissan Micra is also proving to be a very reliable small car, so you shouldn’t have to fret about unexpected garage bills.

Model History

September 2016

Nissan Micra unveiled

Designed for Europe, the fifth generation Micra gets a new look with a V-motion grills and hidden rear door handles plus an extended roofline that incorporates a spoiler.

There are 10 exterior colours, including Energy Orange. Additional exterior and interior personalisation options allow for the creation of 125 different variations.

Much attention has been paid to driver comfort, with a lower driving position for a more secure driving feel. It’s easy for all drivers to achieve the perfect driving position thanks to greater seat adjustment, the fully adjustable steering wheel and the optimal positioning of the pedals and shift lever. The car’s extended width and wheelbase means cabin space is among the best in class.

The Micra will come with a 7-inch full colour central display, providing access to the audio system, satellite navigation, mobile phone, downloadable apps and Siri voice control via Apple CarPlay.

It also features include Active Ride Control for enhanced ride comfort, and Active Trace Control for reduced understeer and sharper handling – combining driver enjoyment and reassurance – innovations only available on Nissan’s Qashqai and X-Trail until now. A new brushless electric power steering system – for greater steering feel and response - is also available.

At launch, the car will offer the choice of a 0.9-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel, both developing 90PS.The range will be joined soon after by a naturally aspirated 73PS 1.0-litre petrol engine.

What to watch out for

19-08-2019:

Report of new Nissan Micra DIG-T 117 stalling when idling. Nissan dealer checked all the earth connections and reprogrammed the ECU, yet the car still keept stalling.

25-08-2019:

Stalling issue of a new Nissan Micra DIG-T 117 (19-8-2019) was resolved by Nissan. There are 3 pipes that supply air to engine. Each of these 3 pipes has a one-way valve. Unfortunately, a batch of these pipes we made by the supplier with one of the one-way valves facing the wrong way. This caused oxygen starvation when the engine was idling. Removing and re-seating the one-way valve the correct way around has solved the problem. Nissan has just issued a technical bulletin to dealers about this. The following link shows a photo of the engine and the offending pipes (But was 'down' when we tried to link): https://mega.nz/#!2MR1kKBB!UyQfUMiT1onqI_d_hUwRz9oYIz0mvR4xJokP4mFZCKw .

13-11-2019:

Report of front suspension problems with 2017 Nissan Mictra K14 bought used independently. Started with a crunching sound from the front in March 2017, dealt with by local Nissan dealer who changed the front suspension bushes and the steering rack. Since then owner has been getting a banging noise in 3 loud bangs in quick succession which can be heard from outside the car and by owner's feet through the floor as she pulls away within the first 2 seconds but not every time (could go for 10 days with no sound.) Nissan dealer has been excellent and has changed both lower arm suspension and the offside drive shaft on the offside to no avail.

What does the Nissan Micra (2017 – 2022) cost?
