Paris, FRANCE – 11 September 2025 — The Nissan MICRA has always been the brand’s spirited urban companion, but the sixth generation arrives with a completely new charge—literally. For the first time in its storied history, the MICRA is fully electric. It makes its debut on the streets of Rotterdam with the confidence of a nameplate that has reinvented itself for the modern era, combining zero-emission motoring with the playful character that made it a household favourite across Europe.
This is not simply an electrified version of a familiar city car. The all-new MICRA is a statement of intent from Nissan: a compact EV that blends practicality, technology and dynamic driving pleasure into a package perfectly attuned to twenty-first century life.
Electric Ease Meets Everyday Versatility
Slip behind the wheel and the all-new MICRA feels instantly at home. Thanks to its multi-link rear suspension, low-mounted battery and direct steering, it delivers fluid, grounded performance seldom found in small EVs. Whether you’re darting through narrow city streets or stretching its legs on winding country roads, the MICRA’s instant torque and optimised weight distribution create a spirited, confidence-inspiring drive.
Built on the advanced AmpR small-car platform, the MICRA offers short overhangs and a low centre of gravity, yet nothing about its road manners feels “small.” Weighing in at just 1,500kg, it grips with poise and responds with the kind of quiet agility that encourages you to take the long way home.
Practicality has not been sacrificed in the pursuit of fun. With a 2.54m wheelbase and an impressive 326-litre boot, the MICRA makes space for everyday life, while a 500kg towing capacity adds surprising utility for weekend adventures.
For stress-free EV ownership, Nissan offers two battery options engineered for real-world driving: a 40kWh pack with a range of up to 198 miles WLTP and a 52kWh pack capable of up to 260 miles WLTP. Both support 100kW DC fast charging, allowing a 15–80% charge in around 30 minutes. V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) functionality means you can power small devices directly from the car, while forthcoming V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) capability will enable the MICRA to feed electricity back to the grid—an empowering prospect for the energy-conscious driver.
“The dynamic, agile and comfortable performance of the all-new MICRA is getting its first experience on European roads,” says Clíodhna Lyons, Region Vice President, Product and Services Planning, Nissan AMIEO. “With up to 260 miles of range and 100kW fast charging, I’m sure the lucky drivers getting behind the wheel will fall in love with this new model. And with a playful and audacious new design, it’s sure to turn heads too.”
A Design That Balances Playfulness and Purpose
Styled by Nissan Design Europe in London, the MICRA’s exterior is SUV-inspired yet right-sized for urban agility. Pronounced shoulders lend it a confident stance, while tapered panels and flush features give a sense of quiet sophistication. Bold wheel arches and a defined lower lip hint at the low centre of gravity beneath the surface. Subtle details, like a welcome-light animation, add to the sense of occasion every time you approach.
Inside, the cabin continues the theme of understated elegance. Clean lines and a low driving position create a modern, driver-centric space. Two 10.1-inch screens provide crisp digital interfaces for navigation and vehicle information, while soft-touch materials and ambient lighting strike the ideal balance between premium feel and everyday practicality. The result is an environment that is precise but never precious.
Seamless Technology for a Connected Lifestyle
The sixth-generation MICRA is digitally native, delivering intuitive technology as standard. Google built-in provides Maps, Assistant and Play Store directly on the infotainment system, so navigation and voice commands feel as natural as on your smartphone.
The NissanConnect app brings remote convenience: precondition the cabin before you step outside, check battery status, or plan a route complete with charging stops.
Advanced driver-assistance systems complete the picture of modern mobility. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, and features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Warning create a full-size sense of security in a compact package. From tight city parking spaces to long motorway stretches, the MICRA delivers confidence and control.
A Pivotal Step in Nissan’s European EV Strategy
The all-new MICRA isn’t just a product launch—it’s the opening chapter of Nissan’s next electric era in Europe. By 2027, the company will introduce four new fully electric models, including the already-announced next-generation LEAF, the upcoming all-new JUKE, and a forthcoming A-segment EV. These additions build on the success of Nissan’s pioneering e-POWER technology and reaffirm its commitment to a cleaner, electrified future.
