Overview

The Nissan Micra is back — and it is unrecognisable. The 2025 sixth-generation Micra is an all-electric supermini built on the AmpR Small platform it shares with the Renault 5 E-Tech, with sharp retro-modern styling that nods to the Micra of old. Built in Douai, France, it went on sale in the UK with prices from £22,995, reduced to £21,495 after the UK government's £1,500 Electric Car Grant. The range-topping Evolve with the larger 52kWh battery costs £29,865.

Two batteries are offered. The 40kWh version pairs 120hp with an official 198-mile WLTP range, while the 52kWh version raises output to 150hp and stretches the range to 260 miles. Both drive the front wheels through a single-speed transmission, with 0–62mph in around 9.0 seconds (40kWh) or 8.0 seconds (52kWh). DC rapid charging runs at 80kW on the small battery and 100kW on the big one, taking 15–80% in about half an hour, while 11kW AC charging and a standard heat pump keep home and destination charging efficient.

Inside there is a 10-inch Google-based touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus an e-Pedal one-pedal driving mode. The boot holds 326 litres (1,106 litres with the seats folded), though the high load lip and non-flat fold count against it, and rear legroom is tight for taller passengers. Euro NCAP awarded four stars in November 2025, and the warranty runs to 3 years/60,000 miles with 8 years/100,000 miles on the battery — shorter than the Korean rivals' headline cover.

The Micra's biggest rival sits in its own family: the Renault 5, with which it shares virtually everything underneath. But with keener post-grant pricing, charming styling and a refined, engaging drive that UK reviewers have consistently praised, the Micra earns its place on the shortlist. For urban and suburban drivers, the 40kWh Engage at £21,495 after the grant is one of the strongest-value new EVs in Britain.

What is the range of the Nissan Micra electric?

The official WLTP range is 198 miles for the 40kWh version and 260 miles for the 52kWh version. UK reviewers report real-world efficiency of around 4 miles per kWh, which makes the official figures achievable in gentle driving.
