Geneva Motor Show: 2011 Nissan March

The ever-cheerful Nissan March/Micra has been unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Designed in Japan and to be built in Thailand, India, Mexico and China for markets in 160 countries, the all-new March will replace the current March which has been in production since 2003. In fact, production of the new March has already started in Thailand, with the car likely to cross the border to Malaysia before the end of 2010.

Based on Nissan's new global V-platform, March will be available with either a 79 bhp, 108 Nm 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine or a 98 bhp, 142 Nm supercharged version of the same 1.2-litre engine equipped with direct-injection and start-stop technologies. Both engines can be mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or Nissan's new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

The ride and handling is supposedly characterised by “agility, refinement and poise”. And there is the interesting “parking space measurement” (PSM) device which gives you three skill levels (amateur, normal and expert) to choose from. Enjoy the gallery of live photos!

AboutSeow Yaohan

Seow Yao Han strives to bring you the latest and the most comprehensive information on cars available in Malaysia. But it's never easy for him to talk and write cars in this part of the world because what you lust after is often not what you drive home. When the euphoria of test-driving that branded, super-expensive sports car dies down, he just goes home in his less-than-glamorous ride.
