The next version of the Micra, the K12, was unveiled in production form at the 2002 Paris Motor Show,[16] following the lines of the Nissan mm.e concept car presented the year before at the Frankfurt Motor Show.[17] It was introduced to the Japanese market in February 2002 and to the European market at the end of 2002.,[18] The car was radically redesigned: it featured a new, 70 mm longer wheelbase (developed with Renault) and an even more curvy exterior that was taller and slightly wider. Its most distinctive feature was a pair of prominent headlamps that extended to the wing-tops.
