JUST 3.7 METERS LONG but 1.54 meters tall, this car offers a surprisingly spacious, well-lighted interior, and the customer can choose between three-door and five-door models. The Micra is modern in concept, with a transverse-mounted engine up front and front-wheel drive, and its chassis platform is the combined work of Nissan and Renault. All models come standard with ABS anti-block equipment and power brakes with EBD electronic braking distribution, and have adaptable, power-assisted handling features.

Drive-trains begin with a four-cylinder 1.0-liter, 65 hp (48 kW) gasoline engine, which is installed only in the basic Visia model, which can also be driven by a larger, 1.2-l, 80 hp (59 kW) gasoline engine, and only the five-door version comes with the economical 1.5-l, 65 hp (48 kW) Common Rail turbodiesel, which powers the Micra up to 155 km/h while burning on average just 4.6 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km. The more richly equipped Tekna models come only in the five-door version with 1.2-l and 1.4-l, 80 and 88 hp (59 kW and 65 kW) gasoline engines. All models come with five-speed manual transmissions, and for a CZK 40,000 surcharge the Visia 1.2 and Tekna 1.4 models can include four-speed automatic transmissions. The Visia 1.0 model sells for CZK 282,000, the five-door Visia 1.2 costs CZK 324,000 (or CZK 369,000 with a 1.5 dCi turbodiesel engine). The luxury five-door Tekna 1.2 and 1.4 models cost CZK 394,000 and CZK 409,000 respectively.
