The New Nissan Micra; The return of an iconic supermini!

Yes, it’s me, the All-New Nissan Micra

And here we have it, the return of one of Nissan’s most iconic cars, the Micra. Yep, it’s back! Nissan are shaking things up in 2025, and they’re doing it in style. Not only are we getting a fresh take on the beloved Micra, it’s accompanied by the upcoming all-new Nissan Leaf.

This isn’t just a nameplate revival, it’s an overhaul. The all-new Micra is fully electric and brimming with personality. It taps into the nostalgia of its past, taking cues from the bubbly, round-eyed Mk3 design (remember those big ol' headlights?) and blending it beautifully with the sharper, more refined styling of the 2017 Mk5. The result? A sleek little supermini with a sculpted bonnet, wider stance, and a side profile that looks fantastic. We’ve only seen part of it so far, and we can’t wait to see all of it.

Electric revolution

Now here’s where it gets juicy, Nissan’s alliance in recent years has had massive breakthroughs in producing more amazing EVs and the Micra is one of the first to benefit. It shares its innovative technology with the Renault 5, which means we’re getting the same clever EV tech, but with Nissan’s unique twist.

There’ll be two battery options:

• A 40kWh version with over 190 miles of range.
• A larger 52kWh pack that stretches that range to a solid 248 miles.

Power-wise, the 40kWh model kicks out 118bhp, doing 0–60mph in under 9 seconds—zippy enough for city streets and motorway merges. The 52kWh version steps it up with 148bhp and an even quicker sprint time. Not bad at all for a practical hatchback.

A face you’ll recognise

What we love about this Micra is how it honours its roots without feeling dated. It’s got those signature large round daytime running lights that give it an unmistakable expression, a modern shoulder line that adds definition, and unique alloy wheel design that really elevate the look. It’s a nod to the past with a foot firmly in the future.

Inside the cabin

While we’re still waiting on the full interior reveal, early impressions suggest a plush, mature cabin. Think soft-touch materials, a clean layout, and a design that feels grown-up without being dull. Rear-seat space might be a little on the snug side, and the boot’s shape is a bit narrow, but it still has decent length for weekend bags or grocery hauls which this small EV should be great at.

When can I expect it to be released, and how much will it cost?

The Micra EV is expected to arrive in late 2025, though Nissan haven’t confirmed the exact date just yet. Pricing? Still under wraps, but Nissan are making it clear—they want this to be affordable. It’s rumoured to be competitive even against something like the Renault 5 which starts at £22,995, it’s likely the Micra will be around that price point, maybe even slightly below. If so, that’d make it one of the most accessible EVs on the market. Fingers crossed.

In short, the Micra is back—and it’s electric, exciting, and looking to shake up the supermini scene once again. Get ready. Want more information? You can sign up for any news directly from Nissan, contact our team or visit our website for the latest Nissan offers
