Nissan has announced prices for the electric Micra, which was presented in May. After the UK, where it starts at £22,995, the same price as the R5 Electric, with which it shares its technology, the price is set in Belgium at 29,250.

That’s 5,000 euros more than the R5 e-tech base version here, but this one has a 95 hp motor. Renault builds both the Renault 5 Electric and the Nissan Micra in northern France, alongside the Alpine A290.. But the Micra base version features the 120 hp motor, which compares to the equally powered R5 listed at €26.900.

Three trims, two drivetrains

It comes in three trim versions and two drive variants: the base Engage (€29,250), Advance (€31,450/90 kW – 120 hp and €34,450/110 kW – 150 hp), and Evolve (€36,650/110 kW – 150 hp). Orders are open from today, with first deliveries expected in November 2025.

Both cars are based on the AmpR Small platform, designed for small electric vehicles, aiming to cut EV production costs by up to 30% compared to older models like the Renault Zoe.,

There are only two drive variants for the Micra: the base model features a 40 kWh battery pack and a 90 kW electric motor, providing a 319 km WLTP range. The other variant is equipped with a 110 kW motor combined with a 52 kWh battery, which is suitable for a 419 km range according to WLTP.

Better WLTP figures after homologation

Nissan says, “The homologation values for the EU have increased compared to the original estimates: the official range is now 419 km for the 52 kWh version (150 hp) and 319 km for the 40 kWh version (120 hp) – that’s an increase of 9 km and 7 km in range, respectively.”

Thanks to the 100 kW DC fast charging capacity (80 kW on the 40 kWh version), it only takes 30 minutes to charge from 15% to 80%. To optimize efficiency, both battery versions come standard with a heat pump and thermal battery management system included.

Regarding subsidies, Nissan assumes that the Micra will qualify for the British Electric Car Grant of £1,500. This has not yet been finalized, however, as this has yet to be confirmed by the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles. The prices quoted are exclusive of this potential grant.

Nevertheless, Nissan aims to attract a different audience with its Micra. “The Micra is a more elegant model that will attract more female buyers, while the Renault 5 is a sportier, more masculine model, says Alexandra Armada, head of Nissan Europe’s product planning.

The most significant technological difference is that the Micra features a one-pedal driving option, which allows the car to come to a complete stop. In contrast, the Renault doesn’t offer this feature.

First of four

“The increased range of the new MICRA is the result of targeted engineering. By improving aerodynamic efficiency without changing the main components, we have created more range and more value – right where it matters for electric vehicle drivers,” said Clíodhna Lyons, Vice President Product and Service Strategy and Planning, Nissan AMIEO. Nissan AMIEO includes Africa, the Middle East, India, Europe & Oceania.

The new Leaf will follow the Micra next spring, and a full-electric version of the Juke will also arrive next year, sharing its platform with the Nissan Ariya. Last but not least, there will be a Nissan version of the tiny Renault Twingo EV. Renault will build both these cars in Novo Mesto, Slovenia.
