      The 2013 Nissan Micra features many interesting changes in both its exterior and interior settings. For instance, the premium hatch's front end flaunts reworked headlamps, front grille and remoulded bumpers. The new Micra's nose looks slightly different and features a huge air intake dam in a trapezoidal shape, whereas the fog lamps have been pushed to the corner side. The Japanese model comes with a stylish tailgate as well, with revamped tail lamps that complete its cosmetic make up. As per industry sources, the upcoming Micra facelift is expected to come equipped with the much fawned upon automatic transmission system.
