Micra 2012-201 7 XL CVT रिव्यू

Nissan offers the CVT (continuously variable transmission) unit in two trims levels in the Micra hatchback - XL and XV. In the XL CVT variant, the automatic gearbox comes mated to a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 77PS of power and 104Nm of torque. There is no variant of the Nissan Micra on sale which has the same petrol engine but offers a manual transmission. The XL CVT returns a fuel-efficiency of 19.34kmpl, which is lower than the 23.08kmpl of the diesel-powered Micra. Currently, the Nissan Micra XL CVT is one of the cheapest hatchbacks that offers a two-pedal setup. The CVT has five modes in its configuration - park, reverse, neutral, drive and low.

The 165/70 section tyres on the Nissan Micra XL CVT come wrapped around 14-inch steel rims with full wheel covers. The hatchback comes with a 41-litre fuel tank, 251-litres boot and 4.65 metres of minimum turning radius. Since this is the entry-level XL variant, it misses out on a few features like automatic climate control, rear window defogger with timer, intelligent key with push button start, electronically adjustable and foldable ORVMs, passenger airbag, height adjustable driver seat and front fog lamps with chrome finish. However, the Nissan Micra XL CVT does come with a reasonable amount of features to justify its price tag. The list includes two-din audio system with four speakers, steering wheel with audio and hands-free controls, remote keyless entry, ABS with EBD and BA, follow-me-home headlamps, driver armrest and adjustable front & rear headrests.

The Micra is offered in seven different shades of paint - Sunshine Orange, Brick Red, Storm White, Night Shade, Onyx Black, Blade Silver and Turquoise Blue. The Sunshine Orange body paint option was introduced with the updated Nissan Micra, which was introduced on September 6, 2016.

The Nissan Micra XL CVT goes up against the likes of the Hyundai Grand i10 AT and the Maruti Suzuki Ignis AMT.
