Nissan has released a first set of teasers for the upcming all-new Micra hatcback which will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show 2016. The new Micra has been seen on tests earlier.  The heavily camouflaged test mules resembled the Sway concept that was revealed by the Japanese automaker at last year’s Geneva Motor Show.

The styling for the new Micra will be radically different from the current model. It will feature a much sportier stance with a sloping roofline and rear spoiler, as well as an angular rear-end treatment and dramatic design lines down the sides of the car.

Details about the mechanicals are not known yet, but the car will be based on the new CMF platform shared by the Renault-Nissan alliance. The next-gen car will be produced in France at Renault’s facility in Flins alongside the Clio hatchback and the Zoe EV.

According to sources, the new Micra won't be brought to the Indian market. However, the carmaker is said to be developing an all-new hatchback – built to a low-cost structure and based on the existing Micra’s ‘V’ platform – specifically for the country.
