Reliable sources online say the next generation Nissan March/Micra comes with a 1,000cc engine that uses both a supercharger and turbocharger! We don’t know how they can sell it as a budget hatch if they couple both the compressors to a new engine with dual injection technology.
Could the technology filled SI engine trigger a revolution in the auto industry? Or will it make things easier for the i10 and A-Star by leaving them with no opposition to face?
According to the report, the Micra/March would come with a total of three engines -
- HR10DD – 1,000 cc – Naturally Aspirated, for the entry level model
- HR10DDT – 1,000 cc -Supercharger + Turbocharger
- HR12DD – 1,200 cc – output would be between 90-110 horsepower

Doesn’t really make sense to turbo and supercharge this small car, unless they’ve found a way to improve fuel consumption by doing so.
The turbo and supercharged units will just piggy back each other really. They will be so small that it won’t make too much of a price difference.
The new 800cc engine from Hyundai will create an interesting variant though.
