This is the All-New, 5th Generation Nissan Micra, and not only has its footprint increased significantly, it’s come over all serious too. Once the automotive equivalent of Hello Kitty, the Micra’s now sporting a grown-up, aerodynamic look and seems to be have shifted its sights squarely towards the likes of Ford’s Fiesta, VW’s Polo and Vauxhall’s Corsa.

It’s not just the exterior that’s been reworked, either. The Micra’s cabin is worlds apart from anything that’s gone before it; the design and materials used must be up there with the best in the segment, possibly the segment above it, too.
