It’s out with the Werther's, and in with Stanley cups
Offering two battery options (40kWh and 52kWh) with real-world ranges of up to 253 miles, quick charging from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes at a fast charging station – the New Nissan MICRA is the first of four new fully electric models Nissan plans to launch by 2027.
Designed by sophisticated European designers in Nissan’s London Studio, the MICRA now struts with a charming confidence. SUV inspired lines, bulky yet sharp details, and 18-inch wheels carry powerful presence for a compact car. Belief stands that young people (or those young at heart) are more carefree and radical with ideas challenging the status quo and the MICRA certainly fits that criteria. Unique touches like the cheeky animated “welcome wink” headlights and the whimsical “ice cream scoop” side profile indentation, hint at a playful, characterful design philosophy. Buyers will be spoilt for choice with 14 exterior colour combinations, including two-tone options that blend bold body colours with black or grey roofs, ideal for those who like to turn heads as they drive by blasting Sabrina Carpenter on the premium 9-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.
Step inside and the MICRA feels minimal and considered. A clean dash is centred around twin 10.1” screens, one for the driver display and another for infotainment, slightly angled towards the driver for ease of use. Subtle design touches, like a Mount Fuji outline in the centre console, nod to Nissan’s Japanese heritage.
Interior trims come in three styles Modern, Audacious, and Chill, matched with ambient lighting in 48 selectable colours. With five doors, a roomy feel, and up to 1,106 litres of boot space with the seats folded down, it’s every bit as practical as it is premium.
When the going gets going the New MICRA sets off like a Millennial on the way to a Seasonal independent market hosted in an uppity estate. And if you’ve ever seen a Millennial on the way to a Seasonal independent market hosted in an uppity estate then you’ll know that’s quick. Built on the AmpR EV platform, the MICRA delivers lively handling and smooth electric acceleration. At just 1400kg (or 1524kg for the larger battery version), it’s lighter than many rivals, helping it feel nimble in traffic while still offering a planted, stable drive thanks to its low centre of gravity and independent suspension setup.
Drive modes Comfort, Sport, Eco, and a customisable Perso mode let drivers tailor their experience, while e-Pedal technology enables one-pedal driving for effortless city commutes.
In keeping with the whole sea change of this sixth generation MICRA, the smart looking EV comes fully equipped with built-in Google systems. Drivers can access Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play directly from the car’s infotainment system—no smartphone needed. Voice commands like “Hey Google” can control navigation, temperature, media, or even smart home devices.
Route planning is smarter too, with built-in EV route mapping that recommends charge stops based on range, driving style, and temperature. The NissanConnect app rounds out the tech experience, allowing users to precondition the cabin, schedule charging, check range and more from their smartphone.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard, ensuring every driver can stay connected their way.
Despite its compact footprint, the MICRA EV doesn’t skimp on safety. Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist provides adaptive cruise control, lane centring, and emergency braking. Additional features include Blind Spot Intervention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Driver Monitoring, and more—helping keep you and your passengers safe in busy urban environments.
We’re expecting it to land at Shelbourne Motors Nissan very soon, so be the first to know when it arrives so you can beat the queues for a test drive.
Shelbourne Motors Limited trading as Shelbourne Motors Portadown, Shelbourne Motors Nissan, Shelbourne Motors Newry, and Fleet4u is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Shelbourne Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase. Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
