The 2013 Micra is a comprehensive refresh of the old car. Nissan has altered the designs of the bumpers, headlights and taillights from an external standpoint. Even the grill of the car signals Nissan's corporate look. Additionally, the taillights of the new Micra feature LED lights and the bootlid of the car gets a bootlip which makes it look better.

Inside, the new Micra features an upgraded door trim which looks a lot more premium than the existing all-plastic layout. The central console is now finished in a piano-black color (currently it is 'greige') while a new music system adds the feature of Bluetooth. Even the steering wheel has buttons for you to receive and end calls. The seat fabrics are of a different color as well.
