The sixth generation of the Nissan Micra arrives on the market with a 100% electric powertrain. Available from €28,000, it promises a range of up to 416 km according to the WLTP cycle. With its distinctive design, connected technologies and fast recharging, it aims to stand out from the Renault 5 and the Peugeot e-208.
A city car designed for urban agility
The new Micra is based on the AmpR Small platform, developed in partnership with Renault and Ampere. Its 2.54-metre wheelbase and low weight make it easy to manoeuvre and fuel efficient. Thanks to its low centre of gravity and multi-link suspension, it offers a stable, precise ride, whether in the city or on the open road.
Two batteries, two powers
Nissan is offering two versions to suit different uses. The first combines a 40 kWh battery with a 120 hp engine, providing a range of up to 317 km. The second, more powerful version combines a 52 kWh battery with a 150 hp engine, giving a range of 416 km WLTP. Both models can be fast-charged up to 100 kW, recovering 65% of the battery in around 30 minutes.
A sober but assertive design
Visually, the Micra adopts a modern, compact style, a far cry from the retro look of the Renault 5. Fluid lines, pronounced wheel arches and 18-inch wheels give it a dynamic look. Its bodywork has been reworked to optimise aerodynamics and improve range.
A connected, customisable cabin
On board, sobriety goes hand in hand with technology. Two 10.1-inch screens group together most of the information, while physical controls remain for ventilation. Ambient lighting is available in 48 colours, and native integration of Google Maps and Google Assistant simplifies everyday use. The NissanConnect application can also be used to control the charge and cabin temperature remotely.
Competitive prices and a wealth of equipment
The range starts with the Engage trim level at €28,000 for the 40 kWh version. The Advance is available from €30,000 or €33,500 with the large battery, while the Evolve tops the range at €36,000. From the very start of the range, the Micra includes a heat pump, rapid recharging and driving aids. A number of options are available to personalise the city car, including two-tone paintwork and sports wheels.
An electrical offensive underway
With this new generation, Nissan is relaunching the Micra in the highly competitive electric city car segment. With a three-year warranty and eight years on the battery, the Japanese carmaker is banking on its attractive price, competitive range and comprehensive equipment to win over urban Europeans.
