Nissan’s sixth-generation Micra made its first public road runs in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, moving the story on from its May 2025 EV reveal.
UK orders has opened at £21,495 (RM123,000), with first deliveries scheduled for January 2026.
The Micra sat on the AmpR small-car platform and prioritised usability over showy features. Nissan said a low-mounted battery, multi-link rear suspension and direct steering delivered steady responses.
Short overhangs and a low centre of gravity helped manage mass; kerb weight was about 1,500kg. The car was set up for city use and remained composed on faster roads.
A 2.54m wheelbase yielded a 326-litre boot, and towing was rated at 500kg, uncommon for a supermini-sized EV.
Two battery sizes were offered. A 40kWh pack was rated at up to 318km WLTP; the 52kWh option offered up to 418km. Both supported 100kW DC charging. Vehicle-to-Load was included for powering small devices, and the hardware was ready for Vehicle-to-Grid.
The design, led by Nissan Design Europe in London, added SUV-style details while keeping a tight footprint for narrow streets. Pronounced shoulders, flush surfacing and bold arches framed 18-inch wheels. Inside, a low driving position, clean lines and twin 10.1-inch displays provided a simple layout.
Google built-in provided native access to Maps, Assistant and the Play Store. The NissanConnect app allowed remote pre-conditioning, charge-status checks and route planning with charging stops.
Driver assistance included adaptive cruise and parking aids, with standard safety kit such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Emergency Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning.
The Micra was part of Nissan’s European EV plan. By 2027 the company planned four battery-electric models for the region: the Micra, the next Leaf, a new Juke and an A-segment car, alongside wider deployment of e-Power hybrids.
