Reviewer's opinion

"How much Nissan Micra Active do you get for your money? A surprising amount!

It's the standard spec level that impresses, though."

What is the Nissan Micra Active like inside? 

While the Nissan Micra Active is a refresher of the K13 Micra, the interior has been revised with new fabric on the seats, and the instrument cluster has been redesigned and has a new fascia too. Even though the Micra Active is a small hatchback, the cabin is surprisingly spacious and some attention has been paid to reducing cabin noise at travelling speeds.

 

Style

The Nissan Micra Active changes the styling from the K13 Micra to be more youthful and sporty. The exterior has been refreshed to show a small hatchback with big confidence to it. The Micra Active is rather attractive and welcoming to look at, with a 'Come and drive me!" feel to it.
