Nissan has unveiled all-new, sixth-generation Micra as a fully-connected, pure electric vehicle (EV) ahead of its launch in Europe later this year.
The sixth-generation model, which has been a staple in the compact car segment for over four decades, is being designed at Nissan’s Design Europe in London.

The Micra’s 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 an impressive real-world range of 408km, alleviating range anxiety for longer trips. Charging is made 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 new Micra will feature a refreshed and distinctive exterior look, combining a premium finish with an SUV-like design.

By GlobalDataIt will come with 18-inch wheels, available in three different options depending on the grade: “active” wheel covers, “Iconic” and “Sport” alloy wheel designs.
The vehicle’s assertive stance is further enhanced by iconic headlamps that perform a “welcome wink” upon unlocking and a “farewell” light show when locking the car. At the rear, the taillamps will be defined by a simple but ornate LED light design.
The new Micra will be available in 14 exterior colour combinations, offering two-tone colour options for a distinctive look.
Inside, the car’s interior continues the theme of understated elegance, with a nod to its Japanese heritage through design elements like a moulded outline of Mount Fuji.
Nissan said, drivers will be greeted by 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 litres, outperforming many competitors in its class.
Nissan Design Europe vice president Giovanny Arroba said: “In designing the sixth generation of the Micra, we’ve celebrated all the values that have historically made it so popular – and opened a new chapter for Micra as an EV.
“The exterior has an audacious and playful appearance on first look but has a stance which gives it a solid presence on the road. We’ve also been able to integrate delightful details into the design, which owners will love. We’re proud to have been able to bring the Micra into the EV age.
NissanConnect with Google built-in services and the NissanConnect services app will provide an integrated and connected driving experience, offering features like remote control of cabin temperature and charging schedules.
The new Micra will be available with Nissan ProPilot assist and a suite of advanced driver assist technologies.
Sales of the new Micra will commence in Europe later this year, marking a significant milestone in Nissan’s EV offerings. Nissan said, the model will maintain its reputation for style and simplicity while embracing zero-emission mobility.
