Nissan Micra

The Nissan Micra (Translation: March) is Third Generation Supermini car manufactured by Nissan.
== Description ==
The Nissan Micra has been a symbol of reliability, innovation and style since its inception in 1982. The 3rd generation of this popular hatchback, known as the K12 series, was introduced in 2002 and was the predecessor to the iconic Nissan Cherry. The K12 was a standout in the market, following the lines of the Nissan mm.e concept car that was presented the year before at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This generation had an innovative and modern design, making it a hit not only in Japan but also in the European market.
The K12 Micra was first introduced to the Japanese market in February 2002, with its European release following at the end of the same year. This version of the Micra boasted a number of updates and improvements, including a more spacious interior, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced safety features. It was clear that Nissan had put a lot of effort into making this generation of the Micra one of the best yet, and it did not disappoint.
Interestingly, the redesign of the K12 Micra coincided with the renaming of the Japanese Nissan dealership network from Nissan Cherry Store to Nissan Red Stage in 1999. This change also reflected the evolution of the Micra, as it moved away from being known as the Cherry to establishing itself as a brand of its own. The K12 Micra received a lot of praise for its clever engineering and design, and it quickly became a popular choice among drivers who were looking for a reliable, compact and stylish vehicle.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. The production of the 3rd generation Micra came to a halt in 2010, making way for the 4th generation of this beloved hatchback. The K12 was succeeded by the K13, which continued to build on the success of its predecessor and maintained its position as one of the top choices in the compact car market. The K12 Micra may have ended its production, but it will always hold a special place in the hearts of Nissan enthusiasts who have come to appreciate its exceptional quality and performance.
