Welcome to the All-New Nissan MICRA EV
25-05-2025 13:48 - CAR NEWS
The all-new, sixth-generation Nissan MICRA will return to the B-segment in 2025 as a fully-connected, pure EV with an audacious new look. Combining an assertive personality with zero-emission mobility, the All-New MICRA will stay true to its distinct character as a stylish and unpretentious car, which has underpinned its popularity and success as an iconic compact model 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 LEAF, JUKE, and an 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 All-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 All-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 All-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 All-New MICRA’s audacious personality is the palette of 14 exterior colour combinations. Available in Pure White, Elegant Silver, Mystery Black, Noble Marine, Authentic Blue, and Rebel Red, All-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.
“In designing the sixth generation of the All-New MICRA, we’ve celebrated all of 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,” said Giovanny Arroba, Vice President - Nissan Design Europe.
Interior elegance
Inside the car, All-New MICRA’s interior recaptures a theme that has been at the heart of the model across all previous generations – simple, understated elegance. Building on that legacy, this latest generation also hints to its Japanese heritage through subtle hidden design features – including a moulded outline of Japan’s most famous landmark, Mount Fuji, incorporated into the storage space between the front seats.
As soon as they enter the car, the driver will appreciate the three-spoke wheel - with its hefty, tactile diameter - as well as the 10.1” configurable hi-resolution screen display behind it for easy viewing of vital information. In the centre of the car sits an additional neighbouring 10.1” touchscreen display, covering the full width of the dashboard and providing a sleek feel for navigation, audio and phone functions – with the screen slightly orientated towards the driver for seamless interaction.
Front and rear seat upholstery varies according to grade but offers customers three distinct trims to suit their preferred interior ambience for a premium feel – Modern, Audacious, and Chill. To complement this even further, interior adjustable ambient lighting allows the driver to choose from 48 different colours and set a scene in the cabin that truly reflects their mood.
“Life-on-board has been conceived to generate clear, distinct ambience according to customer preferences – with different trims, lighting and more available. The careful choice of different colours, materials and finishes bestows different personalities on the cabin. These possibilities will resonate with different customers, meaning customers will be able to enjoy a life-on-board atmosphere according to their tastes,” added Giovanny Arroba.
Compact and Convenient
At under 4 metres in length and less than 1.8 metres wide, the All-New MICRA punches well above its weight, and is perfectly suited for the tight turns and busy roads of urban life. A wheelbase of 2.54 metres pushes the wheels to the corners, which has the triple benefits of guaranteeing improved interior space, while providing a dynamic stance on the road and an optimum blend of agility and stability.
To simplify options for customers, the All-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 front seat passenger in particular will enjoy a sense of spacious luxury, with seats offering exceptional support and plenty of distance between their knees and the uncluttered dashboard, finished in soft-touch materials.
The interior comfort and spacious feel doesn’t come at the cost of functional space, however. Where storage capacity and trunk space is often lacking in compact cars, this isn’t the case with All-New MICRA. Customers will enjoy 326 litres of capacity, significantly more than many of MICRA’s competitors - with 40/60 foldable rear seats able to extend that up to 1106 litres as needed.
