The new, sixth-generation Nissan Micra will return to the B-segment in 2025 as a fully connected, pure EV with a significant similarity to the recently launched Renault 5. Its arrival signals the next major step in Nissan’s bold product offensive in Europe, where the company will introduce four new fully electric models by 2027 as part of its push towards electrification. These include the all-new Micra, followed by the Nissan Leaf, Nissan Juke, and a A-Segment model, as well as the upgraded third generation of Nissan’s unique e-Power technology – to be rolled out in Nissan Qashqai.
This new Micra will come with 18” wheels, with three different options depending on grade: “active” wheel covers, “Iconic” and “Sport” alloy wheel designs. Iconic headlamps greet the driver, protruding slightly from the clean inclined surface angling up from the numberplate to the hood. On unlocking the car, the lights perform a short choreographed “welcome wink” where the front lights pulse from left to right and then right to left. At the rear, the taillamps are defined by a simple but ornate LED light design – boasting circular lighting elements.
Inside the car, there is a new three-spoke wheel as well as the 10.1” configurable hi-resolution screen display behind it. In the centre of the car sits an additional 10.1” touchscreen display, covering the full width of the dashboard and providing a feel for navigation, audio and phone functions with the screen slightly orientated towards the driver.
Front and rear seat upholstery varies according to grade but offers customers three trims to suit their preferred interior ambience – Modern, Audacious, and Chill. To complement this further, interior adjustable ambient lighting allows the driver to choose from 48 different colours and set a scene in the cabin that reflects their mood.
At under 4 metres in length and less than 1.8 metres wide, the new Micra claims to punch well above its weight. A wheelbase of 2.54 metres pushes the wheels to the corners, which has the benefits of guaranteeing improved interior space, while providing a dynamic stance on the road and a blend of agility and stability.
This new Micra has a 326-litre boot capacity, that can extend up to 1106 litres. Nissan claims seamless EV Driving with up to 450km range and impressive fast charging. Available for the first time as a fully electric model, new Micra is available in two battery options, 40kWh and 52kWh.
