Its minimalist, sculpted body lines are complemented by bold LED lighting signatures. Front headlamps feature a unique “welcome wink” animation, while rear LED taillights incorporate circular light elements for a refined finish.
With 14 exterior color options and two-tone paint choices (body + black or grey roof), drivers can personalize their MICRA with eye-catching combinations.

- Three interior trim styles: Modern, Audacious, and Chill
- 326L boot capacity—more than many rivals
Compact Dimensions, Big Practicality
Ideal for urban life, the MICRA measures under 4 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, with a 2.54-meter wheelbase to optimize space and maneuverability. The result is a nimble footprint, generous interior comfort, and practical five-door access.
