The new Nissan Micra EV might just replace a petrol hatchback!
The new Nissan Micra EV marks the return of one of Nissan’s most recognizable small cars, now transformed into a fully electric hatchback built on the same platform as the Renault 5. Available with 40 kWh and 52 kWh battery options offering up to 253 miles of claimed range, it supports DC fast charging up to 100 kW, includes battery preconditioning, a heat pump, vehicle-to-load capability, and Google-powered infotainment. While the mechanical package closely mirrors the Renault 5, Nissan has introduced its own styling with distinctive circular headlights, unique body details, fresh interior themes, and subtle Japanese-inspired design touches. This first look explores the Micra’s design, cabin technology, rear-seat practicality, 326-liter boot, charging features, driving-focused controls, and whether Nissan has done enough to give this familiar EV platform a unique identity for buyers looking for a stylish and practical compact electric hatch.
