After the success of its small car the Nissan Micra (petrol) in India, Nissan is all set to roll out the Nissan Micra diesel variant by the end of 2010. Even in the small car segment, the Indian customers prefer the diesel version as they prove to be more cost effective as compared with a petrol version.

The small car market in India is very competitive and to survive it, manufacturers not only need to provide good quality but also keep the cost factor low. The Nissan Micra diesel variant will compete with Maruti Swift and Ford Figo.

The new Nissan Micra is a 5 seater hatchback model with the 1.5L CRDi 9 (diesel) engine, the same that is used in the Renault Logan. There is not much difference between the diesel and the petrol Micra version when it comes to the features. Just like the petrol the diesel version also comes with start stop button, keyless entry etc.

The diesel engine produces torque of 150 – 160 Nm and power of 65 – 70 bhp. As far as the mileage is concerned the Nissan Micra diesel can give 20 to 25 km/l under ideal driving conditions.
