It is one of those models that has been a first car for many, a ‘down-sizer’ car and economical urban run-around since the early 1980s when it was first launched. The new, sixth-generation MICRA is a pure EV that will return this year to the B segment as a fully-connected vehicle. In a new MICRA with zero emissions it will stay true its history that has been the foundation of its popularity and its success over five generations and for more than forty years.
Nissan plans to launch four new electric models in the coming years as part of their push for electrification. These include the all-new MICRA, followed by the Nissan LEAF, Nissan JUKE, and a A-Segment model, as well as the upgraded third generation of Nissan’s unique e-Power technology – to be rolled out on the best-selling Nissan Qashqai.
The new MICRA was designed at Nissan Design Europe in London. It has a new, distinctive exterior design.
All new MICRA grades come with alloy wheels measuring 46cm/18 inches. There are three options, depending on the grade: “active wheel covers”, “Iconic”, and “Sport”. This large wheel size, combined with the dark wheel arches, gives the new MICRA a strong, solid stance.
The clean surface of the angled surface, which extends from the numberplate up to the bonnet, has a slight protrusion from the headlamps. The lights will perform a choreographed welcome wink when you unlock the car. They pulse the front lights from left to right, then right to left. At the rear, the taillamps are defined by a simple but ornate LED light design – boasting circular lighting elements.
There will be 14 different exterior color combinations available, including Pure White, Elegant Silver and Mystery Black. Authentic Blue and Rebel Red are also options. Two-tone colour combinations are available for all grades, and buyers can choose to have a roof in either black or grey.
Front and rear seat upholstery varies according to grade but offers customers three distinct trims to suit their preference – Modern, Audacious, and Chill.
To simplify options for customers, the new MICRA will only be available in a five-door configuration – making the most of its long wheelbase to give easy entry and exit for all occupants.
The 52kWh battery is designed for urban environments, but the real-world range of 407km/253 miles and the 52kWh batteries are also impressive.
