The 2017 Nissan Micra is now on sale in Europe and have started rolling out the car in other regions. IAB’s automotive illustrator, Shoeb R Kalania, has created a rendering of a potential 2018 Nissan Micra Cross which could target the Ford Fiesta Active and upcoming SEAT Arona crossover in the future.

The Cross variant stands slightly higher than the regular model due to the raised suspension. Black cladding flows from the front bumper, around the wheel arches and along the side profile to the rear. There’s a wider air dam at the front, while at the sides, black ORVMs, black roof rails and distinctive alloy wheels help further differentiate the Nissan Micra Cross, and give it a rugged, more practical look.
