Micra Diesel: Indian Debut
The Micra fourth guy is back in Europe offering a three-cylinder gasoline 1200cm3 under its hood. On the assembly line of Renault Nissan Oragadam in India, where it comes, an alternative diesel is now mounted in the Micra. Unsurprisingly, there is the 1.5dCi "K9K" well known in the declination "65" which was the heyday of the Twingo. This engine oil is available in heavy high-end finish XV, which was added an even more luxurious variation, called "premium". It is true that many motorists Indian share with their European counterparts the same appetite for diesel. A story there too, cheaper fuel ... but the 20% market share of the previous Micra Diesel in the hexagon does not necessarily argue in favor of his return. Unless the rules of the bonus-malus 2011 give him another chance.
