by New electric Nissan Micra: design and technical specifications
The new, sixth-generation Nissan Micra has fully transitioned to electric power. Although the model is built on the same platform as the Renault 5 E-Tech, its exterior features original styling that designers describe as “bold and playful.” The exterior design was developed at Nissan Design Europe’s London studio.
The round headlights and taillights with colored accents are reminiscent of the 2011 Smart Forspeed concept. When locking or unlocking the car, the LED headlights perform a special animation. The design also includes glossy black elements on the bumpers and wheel arches, giving the model a more “off-road” appearance.
Technical features and interior
The new Micra retains compact dimensions: a length of less than 4 meters and a wheelbase of 2.54 meters. The interior is virtually identical to the Renault 5 E-Tech—same 10.1-inch screens and similar styling. However, Nissan has added a few signature touches, such as the silhouette of Mount Fuji between the front seats. The trunk capacity is 326 liters.
The car is offered in two versions: a base model with a 40 kWh battery (308 km range) and a more powerful 52 kWh variant (408 km range). The latter supports fast charging up to 100 kW, allowing a charge from 15% to 80% in 30 minutes. Both batteries feature V2L (vehicle-to-load) functionality and a thermal regulation system.
Production of the new Micra is scheduled for 2025. Its price is expected to be higher than the Renault 5 E-Tech, which starts at €25,000. Soon, electric versions of the Juke and Qashqai models will join it.
Despite the growing popularity of crossovers, compact hatchbacks like the Micra remain in demand in Europe. The manufacturer is betting on sustainability, modern design, and technology to attract younger buyers. At the same time, competition in the small electric car segment is intensifying, which could impact the model’s ultimate success.
