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.
