2014 Nissan Micra Limited Edition launched

A limited edition of the Nissan Micra – imaginatively called the Nissan Micra Limited Edition – has gone on sale price from £12,300.

The Nissan Micra was given a facelift last year to try and remove perceptions of cost-cutting by Nissan after they took production of the Micra off to India, and now we get a titivation of that facelift with the Nissan Micra Limited Edition.

But instead of doing what most car makers do, which is adding extra spec for less than it would cost to option it, Nissan’s idea of a special edition is to give it some unique cosmetics.

So the Micra Limited Edition comes in a choice of three colour schemes with a contrast roof and mirrors – Pacific Blue with a White roof and mirrors, Shiraz Red with a Black roof and mirrors and Alabaster White with a Red roof and mirrors.

Other minor cosmetic tweaks include contrast side sills and centre caps, chrome tailpipe and the required Limited Edition badge, with the interior getting the roof colour used on the air vents and the bottom of the gearshift column plus coloured mats.

It’s not a comprehensive makeover – just splashes of colour – but the Micra Limited Edition does get the same basic spec as the Acenta trim which includes 15″ alloys, AirCon, Cruise and roof spoiler.

The Nissan Micra Limited Edition is on sale now and costs from £12,300, £600 more than the normal Micra Acenta.
