Unlike its predecessor's ad campaign which was endorsed by a Bollywood celebrity, the new TVC promotes the car's agility and ease of driving using a group of young individuals. A set of four Nissan Micras driven by friends play the game of tag somewhere in Rajasthan with the local folks spectating.
The Micra facelift for India and European markets was a more comprehensive attempt than the Thai Micra. The India spec hatchback gets a completely reworked front fascia that appeals to more male audience.
Apart from the obviously new front bumper, the headlamps get angular and the grill carries the Nissan logo in a chrome trough. The rear features new LED taillight elements and an extra plastic cladding on the hatch door lip.
The interior is also revised with a new centre console which is finished in gloss black. The circular aircon vents in the dashboard's centre has been converted into rectangular units.
