Japanese automaker Nissan has officially unveiled the sixth-generation Micra hatchback. This marks the global debut of this hatchback as it transitions to a fully electric vehicle. The new age Micra EV is set to go on sale in the European market in late 2025. The new Micra is based on the AmpR Small platform and shares its underpinnings with the Renault 5 E-Tech. Sharing this update the company revealed that this model will not be offered with an internal combustion engine, a first in the Micra’s 42-year production history. The company also revealed that the sales of the new Micra will commence in Europe from late 2025 and pricing for the same is expected to be announced closer to the launch date.

The information shared by the company outlines that the sixth-gen Micra EV has been designed at Nissan Design Europe (NDE) in London. It features an SUV-inspired stance with pronounced wheel arches, body cladding and 18-inch alloy wheels. It has a compact footprint and it spans under four metres in length and under 1.8 metres in width. These dimensions make it ideal for city use. It will only be offered with a 5-door layout.

On the outside the 2025 Micra EV sports circular headlamps with LED daytime running lights and a “welcome wink” animation on unlocking. It will be offered in a total of 14 colour options including dual-tone options.

On the inside it sports a layout similar to the Renault 5 E-Tech. It gets a dual-screen 10.1-inch infotainment system instrumentation cluster, 48-colour ambient lighting, upholstery options. It boasts a boot capacity of 326 litres, which is expandable to 1106 litres with the rear seats folded down.

The 2025 Micra is offered with two battery options - a 40 kWh battery pack paired with a 121 bhp electric motor and a 52 kWh battery pack generating 148 bhp. The latter offers a maximum range of up to 408 km (WLTP), while the smaller battery version is rated for 308 km. Both versions boast V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) functionality, which allows users to power external devices using the car’s battery.

The company claimed that the charging for both variants are aided by 100 kW DC fast charging capability. Using the fast charger the 2025 Micra EV can charge from 15 to 80 percent in 30 minutes. It also gets a heat pump and thermal management system for maintaining regulation battery temperature for optimum operation.

On the safety front the 2025 Micra EV comes equipped with advanced features like - ProPilot Assist with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping, as well as Autonomous Emergency Braking and Blind Spot Warning.

Nissan did offer the fourth-generation Micra in the Indian market but the company has highlighted that the new Micra has been developed with European markets in focus, this statement from the company puts a big question regarding its arrival to the Indian shores. However, with Indian’s increasing focus on clean and green mobility and the growth of the market, one should never rule out the possibilities of any model or carmaker coming to India.
