Nissan Micra
New alloys are among the external changes that give the Nissan Micra more presence and appeal for small business users and company car drivers

The Tekna has features such as rear parking sensors, sixteen-inch alloys and an optional panoramic glass roof. All benefit from across-the-range tweaks to the cabin.

The changes should give the current Nissan Micra, which had a lukewarm reception, a bit of a lift, although the revised car sticks with one feature of the current model that certainly was well received – its three-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine (DIG-S).

This develops 98PS but still achieves a combined fuel consumption of 68.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 95g/km, impressive figures that would do credit to a diesel, although entry-level cars get an 80PS/115g/km power unit.

Company car tax? Because the quicker 98PS model has better emissions, the mid-range Acenta will cost a 20 percent tax payer just under £23 a month – marginally less than the entry level car.

Then again if you’re buying, the cheapest Micra is £9815 – a £2400 saving on the 98PS Acenta. So not a bad decision to have whether you’re a small business looking for a low cost company car or a company car driver with an eye on your wallet.
