“It’s some way off the class best when it comes to driving dynamics, but offers excellent economy, good levels of equipment and sharp looks.”

“The revival that was needed, the new Nissan Micra is an impressive package that will be a strong contender in a crowded market.”

“We crowned it as one of the best superminis on the market when it launched in 2017, but times change. The Nissan Micra is still a player, but the Ford Fiesta is a better car to drive, while a Volkswagen Polo is more plush and features a better-executed interior.”

“The Micra is easy to drive and reasonably affordable to buy and run. However, it’s a little too far off the pace in a variety of other areas to trouble the class-leaders.”

“Enthusiasts will be better off plumping for the cheaper and less refined (but far more fun) Suzuki Swift Sport, while rivals from Ford and SEAT are more complete all-rounders.”

“It’s mission accomplished with the new Nissan Micra. The unpredictable product pendulum in Tokyo has swung back to interesting again – and that’s surely cause for celebration. We can safely recommend it once more.”

“The well-built Nissan Micra brings futuristic looks and a stylish interior to the small-car party but costs more than some more practical alternatives.”

“The gearbox is a pleasant one, and places the Micra well for emissions and running costs if the rise in automatic supermini demand arrives as Nissan has predicted.”

“The drivetrain in the 0.9-litre model is clumsy from a standstill, but this is a major improvement on the fourth-generation Nissan Micra, with styling and safety kit being the key strengths.”

“Nissan clearly wants to attract a younger crowd with this new-look Micra, but they forgot to send it to the health farm before it was dispatched to the plastic surgeon and the make-up artist.” (Chris Evans)

“The Nissan Micra is a huge improvement over its predecessor. It has a stylish design, smart-looking interior, and is stuffed with every imaginable safety gizmo. Unfortunately, it lags behind the competition in a number of key areas, especially practicality and comfort, and the jittery low-speed ride could be a turn-off.”

“Even the most basic Micra comes with lane departure warning, lane keep assistance and auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection – gizmos that aren’t often standard even on cars from the class above. Weirdly, though, there is no standard air conditioning or alloy wheels.”

“If Nissan’s aim was to build a car that is comprehensively better than its predecessor it can count the new Micra as a job well done. However, despite improvements across the board it still falls short of being exceptional, which represents something of a problem against rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Skoda Fabia.”

“The Nissan Micra is leagues ahead of its truly forgettable forebear in many ways, but it doesn’t quite have the outright dynamic polish or quality of the best in class. We’ve also got some concerns over its behaviour in emergency manoeuvres.”
