The all-new 2025 Nissan Micra EV brings one of Nissan’s best-known superminis firmly into the electric era. Based on the shared AmpR Small platform with the Renault 5, the Micra returns to the B-segment as a pure battery-electric hatchback aimed at European buyers who want city-friendly size, usable range and realistic pricing rather than a bulky crossover.
Design: Retro-Cute City Hatch With a Modern EV Attitude
Visually, the Micra EV leans into its cheerful heritage. Rounded LED headlights, distinctive DRL signatures and a clean, grille-free face mark it clearly as an EV while keeping the Micra’s friendly character. Short overhangs and a compact footprint make it ideal for dense European streets, but the sculpting and wheel designs give it a more premium look than previous generations.
Compared with rivals like the Renault 5, MINI Cooper Electric and BYD Dolphin, the Micra positions itself as the practical choice: playful but not expensive, modern but not trying too hard to be premium.
Interior & Technology
Inside, the Micra EV features a pair of wide digital displays and intuitive software with strong smartphone integration. The seats offer a comfortable upright driving position, and rear passenger space is suitable for children or shorter adults. Boot volume sits in the low-300-litre range, competitive for the B-segment EV category.
Battery, Range & Charging
Two powertrains are expected:
- 40 kWh Standard Range — estimated ≈320 km (≈198 mi) WLTP
- 52 kWh Extended Range — up to ≈420 km (≈260 mi) WLTP
DC fast-charging takes roughly 30 minutes from 15–80% on a high-speed charger. Power output is expected to be around 90–110 kW (121–148 hp) depending on battery size.
Pricing, Trims & Availability
Estimated pricing for Europe starts in the mid-€20,000s (or £21,500–£23,000 in the UK) before incentives, making the Micra EV one of the most affordable EVs in its class. Deliveries begin late 2025.
