Nissan Micra (2025-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Great to drive	Lacks the Renault 5's wow factor
Smart interior	Citroën e-C3 has a more spacious boot
Comfortable ride	Rear doors could open wider

Quick Summary

The Nissan Micra (2025-present) is a battery electric vehicle that marks a significant departure from the brand's petrol-powered heritage. Based on the same AmpR Small platform as the Renault 5, this sixth-generation model offers two battery options: a 40kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery with up to 192 miles of WLTP range, or a 52kWh lithium-ion battery with 253 miles of range. The 52kWh variant delivers 152bhp and accelerates from 0-62mph in 8.0 seconds, whilst the smaller battery manages 121bhp and 9.0 seconds. With a 326-litre boot and smart interior design, the Micra provides practical everyday motoring in a compact 3,974mm package.

The Micra excels as a driver's car, offering a lovely balance of compliant yet controlled suspension, keen turn-in, and light, precise steering that feels fun yet unintimidating. A standout feature is the three-level brake regeneration system controlled via steering wheel paddles, allowing smooth modulation of energy recovery. All models include advanced safety systems, Google Maps integration, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with heated seats available on mid-spec trims. Real-world range from the 52kWh model is estimated at 170-230 miles. Pricing is expected to start under £23,000 for the base model, with the 52kWh variant from under £27,000.

Best for: Buyers seeking an affordable, fun-to-drive electric city car with smart technology and a comfortable ride, particularly those who value practicality and ease of use.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum styling impact (the Renault 5 offers more wow factor), requiring maximum boot space (the Citroën e-C3 is more spacious), or needing a petrol engine option.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Micra if: You want an affordable, fun-to-drive electric city car with smart technology, practical everyday usability, and a comfortable ride.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum styling impact, require the largest possible boot space, or need a petrol engine option.

Competitive Position: The Nissan Micra (2025-present) is a genuinely excellent small electric car that delivers engaging driving dynamics, smart technology, and practical everyday usability at a competitive price point. Whilst it may lack the styling wow factor of the Renault 5 or the interior versatility of the Citroën e-C3, the Micra's superior driving experience, three-level brake regeneration system, and strong user ratings make it a compelling choice. With expected pricing from under £23,000, it offers genuine value in the growing small EV segment, particularly for buyers who value driving enjoyment and ease of use over bold design statements.
