Nissan has announced the sixth-generation Micra will return to the European market in late 2025 as a fully electric vehicle. The compact car, which has a 40-year heritage spanning five generations, represents a significant step in Nissan’s European electrification strategy.
Designed at Nissan’s Design Europe facility in London, the new Micra features what the company describes as an “SUV-like design” with pronounced wheel arches and 18-inch wheels across all grades. The vehicle will be available in six exterior colors with two-tone options on select grades.
At under 4 meters in length, the new Micra is engineered for urban environments while offering substantial interior space. The vehicle provides 326 liters of trunk capacity, which can expand to 1106 liters with the rear seats folded.
The EV will come with two battery options: a 40kWh version delivering approximately 192 miles of range and a 52kWh option offering around 253 miles. Fast charging capability allows for a 15%-80% charge in approximately 30 minutes.
“The new Micra combines irresistible and playful design, with intuitive tech and an EV powertrain which delivers both excellent range and fast-charging capability for an easy and enjoyable ownership experience,” said Clíodhna Lyons, Region Vice President, Product and Services Planning at Nissan AMIEO.
Technology features include the NissanConnect system with Google built-in services, providing access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and apps from Google Play. Safety systems include Nissan ProPilot assist, autonomous emergency braking, and various driver assistance features.
“We are proud to oversee the return of the Micra name to Nissan’s range in Europe,” said Arnaud Charpentier, Region Vice President, Marketing & Mobility at Nissan AMIEO. “It’s a name with over 40 years of history and the new chapter it will write for Nissan and our customer is a purely electrified one – but it remains true to its DNA of being playful, audacious and agile.”
The Micra is part of Nissan’s plan to introduce four new fully electric models in Europe by 2027.
