Nissan has joined forces with fashion magazine, ELLE, to develop a special version of its popular city car, the Micra.

The Nissan Micra ELLE, which goes on sale in the UK on 1st September priced from £12,000, features a panoramic glass roof, chromed accents to the lower part of the grille, chrome interior door handles, 15-inch titanium grey alloy wheels, fog lamps and a roof spoiler. There are three colours available – Shiraz Red, Alabaster White and Atlas Blue – as well as a new seat fabric covering.

Discreet ELLE badges on the tailgate and front wings, front floor mats and front door guards mark out the Micra ELLE on the high street.

The Micra ELLE is based on the mid-range Acenta model, having long list of standard equipment including automatic air conditioning, Intelligent Key for keyless entry and push button start, electrically heated and folding door mirrors, along with a speed limiter and cruise control.

Production will be limited to 500 units and buyers have the choice of either the 1.2-litre 80PS normally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine or the sophisticated 1.2 direct injection supercharged (DIG-S) petrol engine, which develops 98PS.
