The Next Best Small Car - The Micra?
The Nissan Micra has come into the market with a big bang and now the question remains
"Who's the leader in the small car segment?" 400 Micra cars were booked within the first 12 days after bookings were open. Getting so many units booked even before the official launch of the car can mean a lot to the auto maker. However, it is a tough world out there. There were other recent launches in the small car segment. Is the Micra so advanced that the Indian buyer will actually get attracted only towards this car? Which is the best small car? In this article, let's compare the all-new Micra with its contenders.
Micra Vs Maruti Ritz and Swift:
The Swift and Ritz carry the new K-Series engine. Both cars are the best-sellers in the 1.2 litre petrol hatchback segment. While the Swift is getting older and is due for an update, the Ritz has the style that easily draws the Indian youth towards it. On the whole, both cars look good, are high performers and spacious, and deliver good mileage figures.
The Micra is fairly new to gauge the performance figures. However, it matches the spaciousness of the two Maruti cars. Moreover, the Micra has been very well designed and the top-end XV variant comes with many advanced features. As for style, the Micra is indeed very good looking.
Micra Vs Hyundai i20:
The stylish Hyundai i20 comes loaded with plenty of ground-breaking features. The space at the rear seat makes it a leader. The back space is like a palace in a world of cramped cars. The price is what puts i20 a little lower on the sales charts.
The Nissan Micra may not be as spacious as the i20, but it's not that bad either. For the technology, the Micra XV contains a whole universe of features like remote locking, climate control, push-button start/stop, and more. So, if the Micra's price is low, it can surely conquer the i20.
Micra Vs Fiat Grande Punto:
The Fiat Grande Punto is gigantic in every aspect. It is very spacious, but the chassis too is forced to handle more than what the 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine delivers. The price is gigantic too.
The Micra on the other hand looks smart and its three-cylinder engine is powerful enough for the lightweight car. It may not be as spacious as the Punto, but is definitely better equipped and ranks higher in build quality.
Micra Vs Chevrolet Beat:
The Beat may not be too attractive, but does allure the right crowd with streaks of innovation everywhere. There's modest space for five adults and with its aggressive pricing, Chevrolet has got the car right for the Indian crowd.
The Micra, as mentioned earlier, is attractive and may lure many more if compared with the Beat. The Beat has flush door handles on the rear door, but the Micra comes with the keyless entry feature. The price however will be the main factor deciding the winner between the two.
Micra Vs VW Polo:
This is a sporty car which flaunts the very refined VW badge. A lot of space is packed in the Polo's contemporary interiors and the comfy seats are outstanding. The car is great except for the pricing which seems to be a little heavy on many buyers' pockets.
The Micra comes loaded with many more features than the Polo. The power output, however, is almost the same in both cars. The Micra is lighter, but again, the price would decide which car performs better.
Micra Vs Ford Figo:
Value for money, good build quality, ample space and a refined engine are synonyms for the Figo. It loses points on the equipment front though, and the relatively high kerb weight makes it less agile on the road either.
The Micra is light and is strapped with a peppy engine. With lots of advanced features, the Micra may easily beat the Figo if it is priced right or even if it is slightly costlier.
