Shown at the Paris Motor Show last year and inspired by the Sway concept that debuted in Geneva in 2015, the new K14 Micra rides on the same platform as the current Renault Clio, and will supplement the existing K13 model now known as the Micra Active.
International models come equipped with a seven-inch touchscreen display, Bose sound system and a full suite of driver assistance system consisting of Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, 360 degree camera system, Traffic Sign Recognition, High Beam Assist and Blind Spot Warning, as well as Intelligent Braking with Pedestrian Detection.
Motivation comes from the same range of engines powering the Clio, namely the familiar 66 kW 898 cc turbocharged three-cylinder, a 55 kW normally aspirated 1.0-litre triple and a 1.5-litre dCi turbodiesel punching out 66 kW. A five-speed manual gearbox is standard fare across the range.
Final pricing and spec will be announced at a later stage.
