2015 Nissan Micra forum
This is cool... because I like the idea that there will be "new" used Geo Metro-type equivalents to choose from some day in my distant future...
I just read that Nissan is bringing the Micra to Canada in order to have a cheaper (entry level) hatchback that slots beneath the Versa Note.
The company says there are no plans to do the same in the U.S. (Because apparently we're bigger fans of littler cars.)
Minimal details, so far:
- sales begin "in the spring"
- price to be announced, other than below $13,348 (base Versa Note)
- manufactured in Mexico
- no powertrain details given
Basically, this will be a direct competitor to the Chevy Spark and Mitsu Mirage. And ironically, those two are only selling around 150-200 each per month here. So Nissan wants a piece of a very small pie. (Or they're expecting gas prices to go way up!)

Now if VW would just decide to sell us the UP...
