2007 NISSAN Micra 5 Doors 1.2L CVT (80 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Nissan introduced a facelifted version for the Micra range in 2007 and brought more appeal to its small-segment vehicle.

The 2007 facelift was more critical than the one made by Nissan to the K12 Micra in 2005. It even received a new internal code designation as K12C. Usually, when a carmaker made a facelift, it didn’t change that. But the Japanese manufacturer made improvements in all the areas, especially in the safety department.

But like any other improved vehicle, the customers should have seen some exterior changes. That included a new grille with a chromed surrounding and fresh, clear turn signals instead of orange. The front bumper featured a narrower grille, leaving some space for the fog lights mounted on the outer side. From its sides, the car revealed its black B-pillars.

Nissan offered the Micra in four trim levels: Visia, Acenta, Tekna, and Active Luxury. That led to new interior trims and upholstery options. While the base levels featured just plain audio systems, the top trim level received Bluetooth connectivity, a 6-CD changer in-dash, and an aux-in 3.5mm jack for external audio sources. It was the era of MP3 portable players. A set of side airbags increased the car’s safety with an option for curtain airbags for the rear passengers.

Under the hood, the carmaker installed a 1.2-liter, 65 hp engine only for the Visia trim level. On the other ones, a 1.2-liter, 80 hp was the base powerplant and also benefited for the 1.4-liter unit. The 1.6-liter, 110 hp four-cylinder, which Nissan previously offered only for the three-door bodywork, became available for the Active Luxury trim level.
