Nissan has recently unveiled the all-new, sixth-generation Micra as a fully-connected, pure electric vehicle (EV) set to launch in Europe later this year. The Micra has been a staple in the compact car segment for over four decades and is now being designed at Nissan’s Design Europe in London.
The transition to a fully electric model introduces two battery options – 40kWh and 52kWh – providing substantial power and range for city driving. The 52kWh battery option offers a real-world range of 408km, alleviating range anxiety for longer trips. Charging is efficient with a 100kW DC charger that can power the battery from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes.
Weighing 1,400kg, the new Micra will be equipped with V2L (vehicle-to-load) technology on both battery versions, allowing the battery to power external devices. The exterior design combines a premium finish with an SUV-like design, featuring 18-inch wheels in three different options depending on the grade.
The vehicle’s assertive stance is enhanced by iconic headlamps that perform a “welcome wink” upon unlocking and a “farewell” light show when locking the car. The rear taillamps feature a simple but ornate LED light design. The Micra will be available in 14 exterior color combinations, offering two-tone color options for a distinctive look.
Inside, the car’s interior exudes understated elegance with a nod to its Japanese heritage through design elements like a moulded outline of Mount Fuji. Drivers will enjoy a three-spoke wheel and a 10.1” configurable display, with an additional 10.1” touchscreen providing navigation and connectivity.
The new Micra will be available exclusively in a five-door configuration and boasts a storage capacity of 326 liters, outperforming many competitors in its class. The vehicle will come with NissanConnect with Google built-in services and the NissanConnect services app, providing an integrated and connected driving experience.
Nissan ProPilot assist and a suite of advanced driver assist technologies will also be available with the new Micra. Sales of the new Micra will begin in Europe later this year, marking a significant milestone in Nissan’s EV offerings. The model aims to maintain its reputation for style and simplicity while embracing zero-emission mobility.
