Everyone can DIG-S the new 95g/km Micra

NISSAN has announced a new super-frugal variant of the latest Micra called DIG-S.

Boasting a 95g/km CO2 rating, it’s one of the lowest-emitting petrol models available in the UK.

The Micra’s engine is a direct injection unit with a supercharger, and uses the Miller cycle and direct petrol injection to raise the engine’s compression ratio for greater combustion efficiency and the supercharger for instant throttle response and added power.

As well as delivering ultra-low CO2 emissions, the lightweight, low-friction, 1,198cc three-cylinder unit produces comparable power to that of a conventional 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine.

The Micra DIG-S will be given its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show (March 3-13) with sales starting this summer.
