NEW NISSAN MICRA: FEATURES AND ENGINES
About to resurface in a completely rebuilt form running a 100% electric engine is the Nissan Micra. Since this new model is essentially derived from the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric, the Japanese car manufacturer has lately shown this one developed in cooperation with Renault. Presenting the new Nissan Micra in Italy now will enable it to be sold before the end of the year. Micra is ready to return to our market: electric; it was developed under Renault’s direction. Micra has always been rather trendy on the Italian market. Between 1992 and 2022, the year of its fifth generation, about 600,000 Micras were sold in Italy; this accounts for 42% of all Nissan cars sold in our country in that same period. Now the new model finds a market environment where the B segment is confirmed as the most important in Italy and has been growing during the past four years. The passenger compartment of the Micra reflects that of the Renault 5 if its design is very personal and winks at that of the third generation with the characteristic circular headlights. With a 10.1-inch instrumentation and an infotainment system with a 10.1-inch display, we hence find a lot of technology. Obviously Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have support.
The second car in Nissan’s European line with the Google suite integrated into the infotainment system is the new Micra; it also features Google Maps, which is central for the in-car route planning capability. Actually, the system suggests charging stations along the path considering the residual range, average consumption, and pre-conditions the battery to maximize the charging speed if the destination set involves a distance more than the available range. Additionally accessible on Google Play is an ecosystem of apps for the driver.
While the passenger compartment’s ambient lighting comes in 48 different colors, the seat upholstery—which varies depending on the trim—is presented in three different finishes: Modern, Audacious and Chill. Regarding the engines, for a range of 310 km WLTP at the base of the range we have a powertrain comprising of a 90 kW and 225 Nm engine coupled with a battery with a capacity of 40 kWh. Then there is the model with a 245 Nm engine and 110 kW that can rely on a 52 kWh accumulator for a 408km WLTP range.
Price
Still lacking reference to prices, but we now know July will announce them. Nevertheless, the price list should not differ too much from that of the electric Renault 5, which in Italy begins at almost 28 thousand euros.
And following the microra.
Given that by 2026 the new LEAF, new generation of e-POWER, and new Juke EV will also be arriving in Europe and Italy, the news that Nissan has in store is definitely not over.
