New engines from September, this is unoffical news from a french car website but they normally have good info on Renault/Nissan/Dacia

A new 1.0 engine with 100hp to replace the 0.9

A new 1.3 engine with 115hp or 130hp to replace the 1.2

Both of these engines are currently used by the Micra (1.0) and the Megane (1.3).

Dacia, Nissan and Renault will use of the upgraded version of the 1.5 diesel which is currently used in the Mercedes A class and B class in all vehicles from early 2019

Mercedes upgraded the 1.5 Renault unit to make it more refined and economical while also adding Ad blue; While Renault, Dacia and Nissan have been carrying on with the original unit which had a NOx trap instead.

Dacia price creep - skidpan

A new 1.0 engine with 100hp to replace the 0.9

Both of these engines are currently used by the Micra (1.0)

Currently the Micra uses the 0.9 (turbo) engine with 91 PS and the 1.0 (non turbo) with 71 PS.

That is why we did not consider the Micra this time.

Even if they fit a 1.0 with 100 PS its hardly an earth shattering improvement.
