Nissan Micra DIG-S (2012)


CAR GARAGE | Nissan Micra DIG-S (2012) | Nissan is just as committed to reducing emissions from cars powered by the internal combustion engine as it is to developing new zero emission electric vehicles. The Nissan Micra DIG-S showcases how far our engineers have come. "Ultra low emissions with no compromise when it comes to drivability means the Nissan Micra DIG-S sets new standards for the current generation of city cars. No other petrol-powered compact hatchback can match its overall efficiency ... and it is more than a match for an equivalent diesel, "said Pierre Loing, Vice President of Product Strategy and Planning, Nissan International SA Technical innovation has been packed into the engine.


As well as delivering aspects of ultra low CO2 emissions, the lightweight, low-friction 1.198 cc three-cylinder unit Produces the power expected from a conventional 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The Direct Injection Gasoline-Supercharger (DIG-S) engine Produces 72kW (98PS) and 142Nm, while CO2 emissions are 95 g / km for the manual version and 115 g / km for the CVT version. Combined cycle fuel economy figures for the manual Visia version is 4.1 l/100kmh.


Low running costs are guaranteed not just by the excellent fuel economy but also thanks to tax concessions based on its emissions granted in many European countries and to lower servicing bills from the smaller engine. Micra's city car credentials have been honed over Decades of class leading models. It is available in one body five-door body styles, three trim levels - Visia, Acenta and Tekna - and with a choice of two petrol engines. As well as the DIG-S, there's a normally aspirated version of the 1.2-liter engine, developing 59kW (80PS). It is clear That our new DIG-S engine offers the best solution for small cars like the Micra. With instant throttle response, its performance and strong economy are a more than a match for any diesel engine with similar power outputs, but its emissions performance is much better, "Pierre Loing.
