2015 Micra vs competitors, power to weight ratio comparison
How does the Micra stack up against its competitors when we're talking power to weight ratios? It is neither the heaviest nor the lightest, and also not the most or least powerful.
All the weights are the Canadian 5-speed manual version unless there isn't one available (as is the case for the iQ and ForTwo).

So, despite it having neither the most horsepower nor the lightest chassis, the Micra actually fares quite well in this comparison due to having above average horsepower and an average weight chassis.
