Nissan transforms the Micra with bold electric styling and urban practicality. The EV version uses the AmpR Small platform (CMF‑BEV), shared with the Renault 5 EV. This modular base supports two battery options: 40 kWh and 52 kWh, balancing price and range. Every exterior detail contributes to efficiency—wide wheel arches, upgraded beltline, flush door handles, and Nuance lighting designs reduce drag. Structural reinforcements improve rigidity without adding bulk, supporting swift handling and ride control.
Powertrain Options and Real‑World Range
Nissan delivers two motor‑battery configurations tailored for distinct driver needs:
- 40 kWh model – 90 kW motor (122 hp), 225 Nm torque, 192 mile WLTP range, 0–62 mph in ~9 seconds
- 52 kWh model – 110 kW motor (150 hp), 245 Nm torque, 253 mile WLTP range, 0–62 mph in ~8 seconds
The performance‑oriented packs exceed city demands and support suburban highway commutes, with instant torque providing lively acceleration at take‑off.
Efficient Charging and Energy Management
Charging systems are optimized for convenience and resilience:
- DC fast charging: up to 100 kW (52 kWh pack) and 80 kW (40 kWh pack)
- Charging speed: 15%→80% in approximately 30 minutes on DC
- Home charging: 11 kW AC onboard charger
- Vehicle‑to‑Load (V2L): outputs up to 1.5 kW via outlet—ideal for tools or camping gear
Battery thermal management ensures fast charging performance remains consistent across temperature extremes.
Tech‑Forward Interior and Connectivity
The cabin combines minimalist design with functional tech:
- Dual 10.1‑inch screens: central infotainment and driver cluster, both with Google Built‑In and over‑the‑air updates
- Comfort-enhancing features: heated front seats, heated steering wheel, ambient LED accent lighting
- e‑Pedal single‑pedal driving with adjustable regen levels
- Tight controls, sport‑tuned steering, and multi‑link rear suspension elevate ride dynamics
Versatility gets a boost from 326 L cargo capacity behind the rear seats and 1,106 L total with fold‑flat 60/40 rear seats.
Safety Systems and Driver Assistance
Nissan equips the Micra EV with a robust safety suite:
- ProPILOT: adaptive cruise control, lane centering, traffic jam steering
- ProPILOT Park: assists with parallel and perpendicular parking
- Additional features: blind‑spot monitor, rear cross‑traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection
This ADAS package aligns with Euro NCAP expectations for compact city EVs.
