With its modern layout, smooth controls, and soft-touch materials, the March brings a sense of premium practicality into a compact format.
The Nissan March comes with two key engine configurations tailored for everyday city use or sporty performance, depending on the trim.
Performance overview:
1.2L HR12DE three-cylinder engine (standard on most trims)
Xtronic CVT transmission with auxiliary gearbox for smooth shifting
Start-stop system included in G-grade models to improve efficiency
Fuel consumption: averages 20–23 km/L (depending on driving mode)

Whether you're cruising to work in Nairobi or heading out on a weekend road trip, the March delivers efficient performance with minimum maintenance demands.
Despite its compact size, the Nissan March offers several modern safety features to protect both passengers and pedestrians. These systems are especially important for city driving where close traffic and sudden obstacles are common.
