Does your Micra have a trim badge on the back? (S, SV, SR?)

Attachment 4386

I dropped by the local Nissan dealer this weekend. They have one 2017 Micra on the lot, and it appeared to be the SV trim (body-coloured door handles).

But when I went around back to verify, there was NO trim badging on the car, just "MICRA"... and also the "Pure Drive" badge is absent.

Maybe a case of Nissan saving a few more pennies per car, along with the removal of the standard equipment block heater?

I double-checked some cars in the forum garage, and it looks like the SR & SV used to have trim badging... but the S never did. At least the SV badge might have disappeared in 2017.

EG:

ptbo micra's 2015 Nissan Micra SV "Ramona" ... with SV trim badge

nebulatwonine's 2016 Nissan Micra SV "Nebula29" ... has SV badge ...

Onyx's 2017 Nissan Micra SV "Micra(Onyx)" ... no badge!

The best trim badge in my opinion, one day I'll have it, shame on you Nissan Canada, I hate them.

No! I just saw a Micra with an S on it today! I pay attention to other small cars and I was passed by a blue S with no rear spoiler on the 400.

Seeing that shot of my car makes me want to wash it and take more long exposure winter night shots! :p

(For the record, Ramona now has no trim badges)

I noticed the same thing recently as well. My 2016 has the SV on the trunk, and my friend's 2017 SR has been mysteriously debadged from the factory. Or chalk it up the Micra gremlins who seem fond of stealing emblems and cabin air filters... :confused:

I guess they determined it was worth saving the money. Not just the cost of the parts - but a worker has to align & actually stick them on the cars.

My 2015 had the SV and two others that I quickly removed, I hate badges or any sticker.

I've got Canada's only Micra GT-R edition, pretty rare!

Lol, I love it!

That is fantastic! You win.

:rolleyes:

Hahahaha

Nothing other than the forum sticker and that "pure drive" badge, whatever the heck that means...

Basically nothing except a marketing scheme. I had a 2013 and still own a 2014 Nissan Cube. They were basically identical except for the "Pure Drive" badge. The fuel economy is the same.

Ah, OK. So it appears to be a label they put on cars that have particular fuel and/or emissions saving features.

Not sure where it applies to the Micra, since the examples given are: EV's, engine stop/start, CVT, etc.

Pure Drive is the name Nissan uses for their vehicles that feature internal combustion engines with reduced CO2 emissions. For the Micra it appears it is eligible for this classification purely due to the small engine size, as it doesn't have any of the other fuel saving features offered in other Nissan vehicles.

Hello,

I'd like to find out where can I get a SV badge for a 2018 Nissans Micra bought in Canada?

Thank you in advance!!!

Anyone have any ideas? Dealership the best option?

I've removed my SV. Its individual letters, but if somebody wanted it there welcome to have it. I don't really think there's much of a dollar value of it to me. Ill double check the condition of it in the morning and report back, but they came off fairly easily and if I remember correctly they are almost mint condition.

Thanks, Richard! I'll point the person to this thread. They can register and get in touch with you if they want.

Sounds good
