The Nissan March has been enjoying tremendous customer response for more than 30 years since the first-generation model was released in 1982. The current fourth-generation model, on sale since July 2010, has been acclaimed for its best-in-class fuel economy, superior ease of driving and user-friendly equipment.

The newly updated March offers a unique exterior design with an enhanced presence and sense of quality, thanks to the addition of a V-shaped chrome-plated finish on the front grille and stylish chrome accents for the headlights.

The car’s interior has also been upgraded. The cabin now exudes a premium feel and lustrous impression by way of a new embossing pattern — characterized by an upscale texture that’s soft to the touch — on the suede-like upholstery for the seat and door trims. The classy theme is further accentuated by a new interior color, Plum, along with a new silver stitching color for the seats.

In addition, the car offers a more sophisticated-looking presentation of the center cluster, as well as silver and chrome-plated accents placed throughout the cabin. The March also has adopted a piano-black-colored center cluster finisher*1 option. All of these enhancements help the interior exude a high quality feel.

Nine different exterior color choices are available, including two new colors, Nadeshiko Pink and Olive Gold, which emphasize the March’s unique character.

Among the 2WD grades, “X,” “X V Selection,” “G” and “S” qualify for the tax exemption for environmentally-friendly vehicles*², with automobile acquisition and weight taxes reduced by 75 percent for X, X V Selection and G, and 50 percent for S.
