Nissan to launch Micra Fashion Edition in association with United Colours of Benetton

Nissan India has reportedly partnered with global fashion brand United Colours of Benetton and the duo is planning to launch Nissan Micra fashion edition on September 12, Tuesday.

The Indian subsidiary has already started teasing some of the stylish parts of a new variant in its social media platforms. The special model will be marketed under the tag name of 'Runs on Fashion,' reports Financial Express.

Specific details on the model will be revealed on Tuesday while no mechanical changes are expected. Most likely the additions will be restricted to exterior body and some minor interior changes in the colour palette.

Nissan India had launched 2017 Micra in June with some add-ons. The new model comes with automatic headlamps with follow-me-home function, rain sensing wipers, new steering wheel and orange coloured inserts inside the cabin. The hatchback has been priced from Rs 5.99 lakh to Rs 7.36 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi.

The new Micra continues to be powered by the same 1.2-litre petrol motor churning 73bhp and 104 Nm of peak torque and the 1.5-litre diesel that generates 63bhp and 160 Nm of peak torque. The transmission is taken care of by a five-speed manual and CVT X-Tronic automatic transmission in the petrol models.
