Technical characteristics: engines and transmissions
Engine range Nissan Micra 2023 represented by three petrol units adapted to the standards Euro 6d. Basic option - atmospheric 1.0 IG-T 100 (99 hp), which is combined with a 5-speed manual or CVT Xtronic. More powerful turbo engine 1.0 IG-T 117 (117 hp) is available only with a CVT. For lovers of dynamic driving it is offered 1.5 dCi (90 hp) with a manual transmission, but it is less popular due to noise.
CVT feature Xtronic — imitation of 7 fixed gears, which makes acceleration more predictable. Combined cycle fuel consumption varies from 4.7 l/100 km (for 1.0 IG-T 100 with manual transmission) to 5.3 l/100 km (for 1.0 IG-T 117 with variator). Maximum speed - 185–190 km/h, depending on the version.
| Engine | Power (hp) | Gearbox | Flow (mixed) | Acceleration 0–100 km/h |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1.0 IG-T 100 |
99 | Manual transmission-5 / CVT | 4.7 / 5.1 l | 11.9 / 12.1 s |
1.0 IG-T 117 |
117 | CVT | 5.3 l | 10.4 s |
1.5 dCi |
90 | Manual transmission-5 | 4.2 l | 12.5 s |
Important: CVT Xtronic requires regular oil changes (every 60,000 km). In Russian conditions, it is recommended to reduce the interval to 45,000 km due to difficult road conditions.

Owner reviews: pros and cons of the model
Among the main advantages Nissan Micra 2023, tagged by owners:
- ✅ Excellent maneuverability in the city (turning radius -
5.2 m) - ✅ Economical (real consumption in the city -
6.0–6.5 l/100 km) - ✅ High-quality noise insulation (better than Kia Rio or Hyundai Solaris)
- ✅ Reliable variator Xtronic (subject to maintenance regulations)
Disadvantages that drivers complain about:
- ❌ Stiff suspension on rough roads (especially in the version with the sports package)
- ❌ Low ground clearance (
135 mm- problematic for Russian winters) - ❌ Expensive service in official services (oil change in the variator - from
12 000 ₽) - ❌ Lack of all-wheel drive even in top versions
Interesting point: many owners note that turbo engine 1.0 IG-T 117 requires high octane fuel (AI-98). When refueling AI-95 power losses and increased consumption are possible.
When purchasing a Micra 2023 with a CVT, be sure to check with the dealer what kind of oil is poured into the box. Official services use NS-3, but some service stations save money by filling in universal analogues, which reduces the life of the variator.
