The massively cute Nissan Micra just got a revamp and is set to go on sale next month.

So what’s new?

The new Nissan Micra comes in manual as well as automatic models, and your piggy bank will be happier as prices now start from only $12,990, compared with $14,990 in previous years.

The new Micra is also more eco-friendly with its 5-star eco rating from the government’s Green Vehicle Guide (last year's model had a 4-star rating). 98 percent of the materials used in the Micra’s construction are recyclable; and the car sips only 5.9 litres of fuel per 100 km.

But cute looks and features aren’t the only thing a girl loves: Safety features include Vehicle Dynamic Control, Anti-Lock Brakes with Electronic Brake Force Distribution and Brake Assist; as well as front and side and curtain airbags (there are 6 airbags in total).

The new Nissan Micra will be available in 3 trim grades (ST, ST-L and Ti) with the top-of-the-range model offering sophisticated features such as the Nissan Intelligent Key and push-button engine start/stop, climate control air conditioning, reversing sensors, 15-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights and a unique convenience feature for all women – handbag storage!

ST-L 1.5L $14,990 $16,990
