Paris, France:
The Nissan Micra is back—and she’s ditched petrol for pixels. In a move that’s equal parts nostalgic and electric, Nissan has reimagined its beloved compact car for the future, unveiling the all-new sixth-generation Micra as a fully electric vehicle ahead of its much-anticipated European launch. And no, this is not your grandmother’s city runabout—unless she’s into dual-tone paint jobs, Google-connected dashboards, and light shows that say “bonjour” and “au revoir.”
Petite but Packed: A Micra-Sized Shock to the EV World
Nissan’s design team in London clearly decided that subtlety was so last season. The new Micra sports 18-inch wheels, SUV-inspired arches, and iconic winking headlamps that perform a cheeky light ballet every time you lock or unlock the car. This isn’t just a car—it’s a compact theater with charging ports.
With 14 colour combos, including two-tone roof options, Nissan is clearly betting you’ll spend more time choosing a Micra shade than you did your last phone. The only thing more assertive than the design? The 408km range, courtesy of its 52kWh battery (a 40kWh option is available too—for the more modest micra-nauts).
Fuji in the Frunk and 10 Inches of Wow
Inside, Nissan keeps things classy and clever. A sleek, minimalist interior greets you, with subtle Japanese touches including a Mount Fuji silhouette hiding in the central cubby—because who doesn’t want a sacred volcano near their cupholders?
The dual 10.1” displays (one for the driver, one for everything else) are laid out like a tech-lover’s dream, and the upholstery comes in flavours like “Modern”, “Chill”, and “Audacious”—the latter presumably for those who pick neon orange and name their car “Volta.”
Smart, Sassy and Surprisingly Spacious
Measuring under 4 meters long, the new Micra is still very much a city car—but with 326 litres of boot space, you won’t have to choose between groceries and your yoga mat. With five doors and a wheelbase that pushes to the corners, Micra delivers TARDIS-level room with hatchback-level charm.
EV that Actually Goes (and Stops to Charge Fast)
Micra might be small, but it packs serious EV punch. Charging from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes, it’s quicker than your morning coffee. Thanks to V2L capability, it can even power your camping trip—or your espresso machine, because why not?
Weighing in at just 1400kg (or 1524kg with the big battery), the Micra has been engineered for nimble, spirited driving, with multi-link rear suspension usually found in bigger, pricier cars. It’s basically a caffeinated go-kart with a Mount Fuji motif.
Safety with a Side of Sanity
Nissan isn’t skimping on tech or protection. The new Micra offers ProPilot assist, a full suite of advanced driver assistance systems, and a friendly reminder that small can still be mighty—especially when it’s watching your blind spots.
Google Built-In, Human Built-Up
With NissanConnect powered by Google, your Micra isn’t just smart—it’s borderline sentient. Whether you’re adjusting the cabin temperature from your phone or checking if you remembered to plug it in, the Micra is designed to be a tech-savvy sidekick for the modern European driver.
Coming Soon to a (Stylish) Driveway Near You
Nissan confirmed that the all-new Micra will hit European roads later this year. If you’ve been waiting for a compact car with charm, cheek, and charging prowess—Micra is ready to plug into your lifestyle.
The Micra has grown up, glowed up, and gone green. It winks at you, talks to Google, hides Japanese volcanoes in its storage bins, and might just be the most fun you can have under four metres.
Pre-orders may include a complimentary “Mount Fuji Finder” and playlist of electric puns. Batteries included.
