Nissan Micra, Suzuki Swift, and VW Polo make the comparison test. The new Nissan Micra revives the world of the small all-rounder. He meets the Suzuki Swift, which makes them expensive similar to mini car here with little thirst and fair price. From the game: the class str boar VW Polo, which anyway can do better. Or? Not quite.
The spring green Nissan Micra raunt to red Suzuki Swift "You see the VW Polo da front?". "Which is almost 3,000 euros more expensive than I!" "Not bad", murmurs of the Suzuki Swift and adds something sheepishly: "With Fund doors I eat as much as the VW Polo." Suzuki Swift and Nissan Micra know the customers of today's small car is how price sensitive - and the gaps are as tiny, the the VW Polo them can be. As a model student, the VW Polo in the vermiest many small car life. With minimal facilities, 70 HP and four doors, he costs from 13.550 euro, loses but less in value than the competition.
Nissan Micra starting from 10.740 EUR
Fresh opponents such as the new Nissan Micra, although not so on its own as its predecessor, but approximately 1,000 euro is occurring in the are all the more laudable: the round four (there is no longer a two-door) starts as 80 HP version with 10.740 euros - including four doors, good safety equipment, Central locking and CD radio. Suzuki is itself a leg in the pricing. The two-door Suzuki Swift with 94 horses off 10.990 euro, costs of four requires the best facilities, what drives the price to at least 13.590 euro. Who deserves praise for creative interior design?
"I", calls the Nissan Micra and proudly presents its clean cockpit. Speedometer and tachometer small add open in the image, only the screen placed behind the steering wheel is at Sun bad - what bothers were attributed because it includes also the fuel gauge. Pleasant reserved the centre console is equipped, twelve major keys are arranged in the circle, logically can be operated. The Navi for 500 euros (Tekna series) like because it sufficiently quickly calculates not only Wunschziele, but also MP3 data in the integrated radio plays, and connects with trendy phones. "Look but backwards", sauselt the Nissan Micra, folds together his rear as a brochure, and places them against the back of the front seats. Even three are moving boxes mounted on the resulting flat load floor. "And what does it cost?" the Suzuki Swift in between, whose old-fashioned klappende Ruckenlehne such as those in the VW Polo is reminiscent of grey Vorzeiten bursts. "Really nothing", the Nissan Micra responds quietly, but only with the medium-sized facilities Acenta (plus 2,500 euros).
Polo and swift better processed as Micra
So significantly the Suzuki Swift outside occurs, so confused he is inside. All switches and clocks are indeed perfectly arranged and the processing of plastics liebevoller precipitates as in the Nissan Micra; but there is no special, the stand-alone. "That the VW not Polo also has", counters of the Suzuki Swift. Is true. In the VW the materials in the feel Polo while still one tick higher quality to the design is however similar to conservative. Somewhat unites VW Polo and Suzuki Swift: both have front as rear comfortable seats. In the space, the Nissan Micra holds good with despite his soon. However, his large glass roof (not to open) strengthens the headroom in the rear to important centimeters. Bad news for those who are more than 1.85 M: rear it snuggles in each model with the headliner.
The Nissan Micra hums "Parking, my treatment". He disappears shortly and clearly constructed, the fastest in gaps. If you need the parking Assistant (500 euro for Acenta) for this - sensors report suitable large parking places in the display - is probably when the a bike to its limits. "Kids stuff", grunts of the Suzuki Swift. With almost four meters length he is so grown such as the VW Polo and less handy when parking. The Suzuki Swift waives a park assist; If you want it, must be upgrade to it from the dealer (for around 250 euros). And only the VW supplement: beeper for the rear of the VW Polo trendline is there only in the package price for 465 euro.
Time to ride. "Finally!" looks forward to the Suzuki Swift and softly Purring with his four. Nissan Micra and Volkswagen have small cylinder gasoline engine that robust Growl before the first red light Polo - the three tested versions help is start stop. Sad! With the green of traffic lights, the Suzuki Swift shoots athletic forward. Also on the highway, his 94-PS petrol engine is more alive and vital. It does zero hundred in 11.3 seconds.
"Strong heart", he frotzelt towards Nissan Micra, which with its 80 PS sprints something slower, but is not too weak. His new petrol engine is well on the gas, like but no high speeds. 13.2 Seconds he needs for the Sprint to speed 100. Our test-Nissan Micra does not reach the promised top speed 170 - for speedometer 160 electronics blocked him. "Common", he, the VW schnauft Polo in the rearview mirror.
VW Polo needs much time
The VW Polo to run 165 km/h, this creates but only with much attempt. The breath quickly assumes his 70 HP, you will notice this on the threading lane of the motorway. Sports the VW attracts Polo for the tank empty: his test consumption is at 7.1 L / 100 km of the Suzuki Swift 6.8 litres. Saving King is the Nissan Micra in the testing of 6.5 and cautious driving style not five litres / 100 km needs.
Security is available in all three in the focus
With the security, all three take it seriously: as well as numerous airbags (only at the VW rear head curtain airbags cost Polo surcharge) they have strong brakes and ESP as standard - in the VW Polo regulates it imperceptibly, the Nissan Micra wooden and the Suzuki Swift rather coarse. "Shock-absorbers, struggle to you", you the Nissan Micra. But it is no use, large potholes Pierce uncomfortable to the back of the driver and in the steering. The Suzuki Swift is more comfortable and glides pleasantly easy curves and bends - almost as nice as a mini. His steering reacts not as inaccurate as that of the Nissan Micra, but so sensitively and accurately as that of the VW Polo.
On twisting route of the VW has Polo against the Suzuki Swift although no chance, but more fun than the Nissan because he is not so agile, gives. Nissan Micra and Suzuki Swift in the VW pass Polo by points. "No matter", both console themselves, they have found their niche right and left of the VW. The VW Polo is a very consistent car, earn points with the driving safety and comfort, but loses his tired and thirsty engine.
Those looking for driving pleasure, takes the crunchy, Suzuki Swift, which exactly jams and lively propelling. The Nissan Micra is for the sparfuchse with city address where a smart Interior and furnishings are important as curve hunting and travel comfort. The Nissan Micra adds to cheeky "Is exactly".
