All-New Nissan MICRA EV Unveiled

Yes, the MICRA is making a comeback – and it’s had a serious upgrade. Nissan has just unveiled the sixth-generation MICRA, and this time it’s fully electric. It’s still compact and easy to drive, but now comes packed with modern tech, clever features, and a lot more attitude.

Here’s everything you need to know about the all-new MICRA before it hits UK roads later this year.

A New Look with Real Presence

Designed at Nissan’s London design studio, the new MICRA has been completely reworked. It’s got a strong, SUV-inspired stance with bold lines and clean surfaces. It looks confident and modern from every angle.

All models come with 18-inch wheels, and depending on trim, you’ll get to choose between three distinct designs. The bold design is matched with plenty of personalisation options – including up to 14 exterior colour combinations, and some eye-catching two-tone paint choices for a more distinctive look.

The front and rear lights are particularly striking. When you unlock the car, the headlights do a little welcome ‘wink’, which repeats when you lock it – a subtle but stylish touch.

Inside: Clean, Comfortable and Thoughtfully Designed

The interior of the new MICRA is simple but feels surprisingly premium. You’ll notice subtle references to Nissan’s Japanese heritage throughout, including a moulded Mount Fuji outline in the central storage area. It’s a nice little detail that gives it some character.

There’s a three-spoke steering wheel and a large 10.1-inch digital driver display behind it, giving you everything you need right in front of you. Another 10.1-inch touchscreen sits in the centre of the dash for navigation, media and connectivity features, giving the whole cabin a sleek, integrated feel.

Interior trims vary by model, but all are designed to suit different tastes – whether you prefer a calm, minimal setup or something a bit bolder.

Compact and Practical

Despite its compact footprint (under 4 metres long and less than 1.8 metres wide), the new MICRA is surprisingly roomy. Thanks to a longer wheelbase, there’s more space inside, while still being easy to park and manoeuvre in tight city streets.

Boot space is also impressive for a small car – 326 litres of storage, which is more than most of its rivals in this category.

Fully Electric with Great Range and Quick Charging

For the first time, the MICRA is available as a fully electric vehicle. You’ll have two battery options to choose from:

• A 40kWh version with up to 191 miles of range

• A 52kWh version offering up to 253 miles

If you’re mostly doing short trips or commuting, the smaller battery should do the trick. But the larger option gives you the freedom to head further afield without worrying about where the next charge is coming from.

When you do need to charge, it’s quick and easy. The MICRA supports rapid charging – from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes using a 100kW charger (80kW on the 40kWh version). Both versions come with a heat pump and battery cooling as standard, helping maximise efficiency year-round.

Another neat feature is vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability – which means you can use the car’s battery to power small appliances or devices if needed. Handy for camping, working on the go, or just charging your laptop in a pinch.

Light, Responsive, and Fun to Drive

Although it looks robust, the new MICRA is surprisingly lightweight – 1,400kg for the 40kWh and 1,524kg for the larger battery. That makes it more nimble and efficient than many of its competitors.

It sits on Nissan’s AmpR EV platform, with advanced suspension and a low centre of gravity, giving it smooth, composed handling and a genuinely enjoyable drive. It’s comfortable for everyday use, but still sharp and responsive when you want it to be.

Smart Tech for a Connected Drive

The MICRA comes with Google built-in, so you can access maps, voice commands and other features directly through the dashboard.

You’ll also get the NissanConnect app, which adds loads of convenience to everyday ownership. From your phone, you can check your battery level, pre-set the cabin temperature, find your car, and schedule your next charge. It makes running an EV feel totally effortless.

Safety Comes Standard

Nissan hasn’t cut corners on safety either. The MICRA is available with ProPILOT Assist for motorway driving, plus a full suite of advanced driver assistance features – including emergency braking, lane-keeping, and blind spot warnings.

It might be a small car, but it doesn’t hold back when it comes to peace of mind.

Hitting the Road Soon

The all-new Nissan MICRA will go on sale in the UK later this year. With sharp styling, clever tech, and the practicality you’d expect from a small hatchback – all wrapped up in a fully-electric package – it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting small EVs to watch in 2025.
