Ah, the 2022 Nissan Micra 1.0 IG-T 100 Acenta Xtronic with the Vision Pack?la petite citadine japonaise with a touch of continental flair. To the uninitiated, it may seem merely like another urban runabout, but to the seasoned automobiliste, this latest Micra is a surprisingly charming and competent companion for the modern cityscape. Under the bonnet, a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine hums with quiet enthusiasm, delivering 100 lively chevaux to the front wheels via the smooth, if slightly detached, Xtronic CVT. While purists may yearn for a manual 'box, the CVT suits the car's urban mission perfectly?effortless, refined, and always ready to dart into a Parisian roundabout or slip through a narrow rue without hesitation. The Acenta trim with the Vision Pack brings a touch of sophistication: feux LED, a smart 7 touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and all the mod-cons that elevate this Micra above the supermarket car park masses. The exterior design?still bold, still angular?carries a certain je ne sais quoi that distances it from its more anonymous rivals. There?s a whisper of sportiness, of confidence, and perhaps even mischief in its stance. Inside, the Micra remains surprisingly premium for its class, with soft-touch materials and a well-considered layout. Practical, yes, but also stylish in a way that feels almost... Latin. It may wear a Japanese badge, but in spirit, this Micra feels like a citizen of Europe?compact, cultured, and always ready for the next café stop. In short? A delightful urban chariot with Gallic charm in Japanese clothing. Santé, Micra.
