You wait years for a new Nissan EV, then three arrive all at once. The Japanese car maker has revealed teasers for a third-generation LEAF, an all-electric Juke, and an all-new MICRA supermini.
The New MICRA is set to launch later this year - or very early 2026 - with a design that harks back to the popular curves of the Micra K11 of the early 1990s, but with modern flair. And yes, we know what you're thinking. It looks quite similar to the recently launched Renault 5, and that's because it is. It's almost identical beneath the skin as both cars are developed using the same collection of parts. Yet, don't be hasty in thinking Nissan have simply slapped their badge over the top of Renault's and called it a day. No, they have injected their own DNA to put forward a car ready to add a little more liveliness to the small city car market.
The new Micra gets a signature front bumper and alloy wheel design, plus an embossed shoulder line stretching from the front wings to the rear doors. However, some details, like the square rear end and rear door handles tucked up into the C-pillar, are noticeable inspired by the Renault 5.
Nissan’s vice president of design for Europe, Matthew Weaver, told Auto Express of the Micra plan in an exclusive interview in 2024: “The Renault 5 is a great car, and that gave us a great base. We then just had to add our DNA and that was probably the challenge [when designing the Micra]. He added: “When you look at the car you’re going to feel Micra, but you’re also going to feel Nissan, and on top of that you're going to feel a slight shift in what it’s offering.”
The New MICRA will likely be offered with 40kWh and 50kWh battery options and while an official range has yet to be confirmed, we can speculate around 190 miles for the 40kWh unit, and around 248 miles for the larger 50kWh option. 0-60 will likely fall around eight or nine seconds and charging times from 15-80 percent in about 30 minutes.
That about concludes all the information we have on the All-New MICRA. Nissan are keeping further details close to the chest but if you want to be the first to know, head here to register your interest.
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.
