Nissan might have overlooked yesterday to add images to the 2008 Micra’s press release but here at Carscoop we don’t like leaving loose ends so we spent 5 minutes of our life to dig them out this morning. Too bad it wasn’t worth it… Just like in 2005 when Nissan revised the current Micra for the first time, changes are so subtle that you’ll need to be a Micramaniac to spot them. We’ve added the press release after the jump but for those of you that want to hear it from us, the '08 Micra is distinguished by subtle chrome touches, darkened headlamp surrounds and blackened ‘B’ pillars on the outside and new materials and colors along with a new audio system inside. Both '08 Micra versions -hatch & C+C, will debut at the Frankfurt Show in mid-September. -Click "Read More..." for more high-res images and the press release
Press Release New Micra
A more mature Micra will be one of the stars of Nissan’s stand at the Frankfurt motor show. Micra celebrates its upcoming fifth birthday with subtle changes to its external appearance, interior trim, as well as the addition of new items of user-friendly equipment.
Thanks to clever use of visual features such as subtle chrome touches, darkened headlamp surrounds and blackened ‘B’ pillars, Micra enters a new phase of its life looking more sophisticated, more modern and more mature.
Inside, new materials and revised colour treatments again provide a more mature and sophisticated ambience. The model line up has been simplified, now with four main grades: Visia, Acenta, Tekna and the premium Active Luxury grade.
The philosophy of providing “Friendly Technology” on the Micra continues. One example is the new double DIN radio/CD player. Incorporating Bluetooth® technology, it enables calls from a compatible mobile phone to be channelled through the audio system. With a control switch neatly incorporated on the steering wheel, calls can be placed and received hands-free.
An additional feature is an auxiliary input jack socket that allows music from personal MP3 players to be heard through the car’s stereo system. Another new piece of equipment offering greater safety and convenience in equal measure is a speed limit warning. Activated by a switch on the leather-bound steering wheel, a warning chime sounds when a pre-set speed limit is breached.
