Nissan Micra

The interior of this small supermini is surprisingly spacious as it provides good headroom and legroom for passengers. It also has a wide variety of storage compartments and pockets for your personal belongings. If you are carrying luggage instead of passengers, you can also slide forward the rear seat for more luggage room.

Nissan March

One thing noticeable about Nissan March is its arch-shaped roof that gives its passengers extra headroom. It complements well the cozy seats of this elegant car. The large windows of this car are also quite noticeable, an ergonomic feature that allows for more natural lighting.

Moreover, just like the Micra, the Nissan March also comes with different types of storage compartments including two large glove box compartments and a cubby hole and storage shelf in the middle console. There's also 251 liters of boot space for your luggage.

Exterior Appearance

Nissan Micra

The rounded headlights and the notable curved line on the side windows of this car give it that unique modern look. It is also fitted with a chunky roof spoiler that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding of the rear window.

Nissan March

The March has frog-eye-raised headlights which make it popular among aficionados, although this has been toned down in the newer models. Overall, this car has a cute and modern interior that will not disappoint you.

Engine and Fuel Efficiency

Nissan Micra

Nissan Micra is fitted with a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder engine with an option between an aspirated or supercharged version of the engine. The naturally aspirated version is highly efficient and can run on up to 26.4 km/liter. On the other hand, the supercharge version produces up to 97 bhp of power with a fuel consumption of up to 29.3 km/liter.

Furthermore, the 5-speed manual gearbox is standard but you can pick an automatic transmission with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) which is ideal for city driving.

The top speed of this car is 180 km/h, but given the traffic situation in the country, you'll most likely not hit this.

Nissan March

There are two types of engines available in the Nissan March. One is a robust 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine and the other is a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder engine that produces 59kW horsepower and 108 Nm of torque. Normally, these engines are paired with an automatic transmission with CVT.

While the engine of this car is small, it is still able to deliver a powerful and unperturbed driving experience. For city driving, when you experience traffic and you put your foot on the brakes while the car stops, the fuel will automatically switch off to save fuel and immediately comes to life when you take your foot off the brakes.

When it comes to fuel efficiency, this car runs at an impressive 26 km/liter. This is one of the most efficient cars on the market.

If you are looking for a car that is easy to drive, affordable and powerful, both the Nissan Micra and Nissan March are good options. These cars are reliable and powerful, so regardless of which one you choose, you can have the assurance that you are getting a good car. Maybe your decision now will come down to the price and overall appeal of the vehicle to you, plus the side-by-side comparison will really help.
