Speculation: Micra may be cancelled in Canada... AGAIN!
The next-gen Micra has been for sale for a couple of years on the other side of the pond.
In SUV/Crossover-crazy North America, we've now got the Kicks, which is a much more profitable car than the Micra.
And the Kicks is selling much better too: year-to-date, ~5000 Micras vs. ~12,000 Kicks.
In a recent review of the 2019 base S Micra, a journalist says:
The Nissan Micra is a rare member of a shrinking segment. When it goes away, soon enough, it won’t be because this was not a good car.
[...]
One more year?
From what I can tell, the 4
th generation Nissan Micra has another year left in its lifecycle in Canada. The 5
th generation Micra launched more than three years ago in most world markets. As the subcompact car segment continues to struggle, odds that the current Micra will come are zip-to-nil especially given its substantial price increase. Nissan will concentrate on the more profitable Kicks.
