All-New Nissan MICRA EV: smiles guaranteed

The all-new, sixth-generation Nissan MICRA will return to the B-segment in 2025 as a fully-connected, pure EV. Combining an assertive personality with zero-emission mobility, the new MICRA will stay true to its guiding principles as a stylish and unpretentious car, which has underpinned its popularity and success as an iconic compact car across five generations and more than 40 years.

Its arrival signals the next major step in Nissan’s bold product offensive in Europe, where the company will introduce four new fully electric models by 2027 as part of its push towards 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.

Audacious and assertive design, with a ton of attitude

Designed at Nissan’s Design Europe (NDE) in London, the new MICRA boasts a refreshed and distinctive new exterior look – combining a premium exterior finish and a ton of attitude with an SUV-like design, simple and uncluttered surfaces, and subtle details throughout.

Offering a sense of purpose and an assertive new look, the model brings together careful design aspects that give it a robust and solid stance – including pronounced wheel arches and a distinctive lower lip that suggests a lower centre of gravity, and a car ready to tackle all types of streets.

All new MICRA grades will come with 18” wheels, with three different options depending on grade: “active” wheel covers, “Iconic” and “Sport” alloy wheel designs. That large wheel dimension, combining with the dark wheel arch trim, contributes to the new MICRA’s strong and solid stance on the road.

Iconic headlamps greet the driver, protruding slightly from the clean inclined surface angling up from the numberplate to the hood. On unlocking the car, the lights perform a short choreographed “welcome wink” where the front lights pulse from left to right and then right to left. At the rear, the taillamps are defined by a simple but ornate LED light design – boasting circular lighting elements.

From the corner of the headlight, where its lens rounds from the front to the side surface, the waistline of the new MICRA is defined by what its designers call the “ice cream scoop”. It’s an indent which has been impressed into the surface from the front to the rear of the back passenger door. It is around 1cm in width and is reminiscent of the shape a scoop would make if dragged across the surface of untouched ice cream.

Central to the new MICRA’s audacious personality is the palette of 14 exterior colour combinations with which it will be. Available in Pure White, Elegant Silver, Mystery Black, Noble Marine, Authentic Blue, and Rebel Red, new MICRA is available to suit any need – whether an understated strong and subtle look, or bold and head-turning for those who like to stand out. Depending on grade, two-tone colour options give the buyer the choice to combine the body colour with either a black or grey roof, ensuring there’s a specification and distinctive look for drivers of all tastes.
