During the global presentation the new range of vehicles of Nissan made in Japanwe had the opportunity to see live the new generation of one of the strategic models for the brand: the New Nissan Micra 2025. Broadly speaking, the Nissan version of the Renault 5 e-tech. But saying only that would be to simplify too much. Because although they share Platform, engines, batteries and technology -Direct hence of the Renault-Nissan Alliance-this new micra has a very marked personality thanks to the work of Alfonso Albaisa, vice president of Global Design of Nissan.
At first glance, the Micra 2025 He transmits something different from his French brother, and that shows in every detail of his body. The closed front, with a grill that dispenses with air intakes by not needing cooling such as a thermal car, and rounded headlightswhich subtly refer to the original micra, reinforce that idea of reinterpreting a classic for a new era. Albaisa has managed to provide the model with a own identity Through a cleaner, more emotional and clearly aligned image with the new Nissan design line.
We don’t know anything from the interiorsince Nissan has not revealed the cabin, and the unit we saw had the windows painted in black. Therefore we expect something similar to Renault 5, but without reminiscences to the past of this and with a much more modern aspect. The infotainment system will be based on Android Automotivecompatible with Google services, such as Maps and Assistant, among others.
The micra is mounted on the platform AMPR SMALLpreviously known as CMF-B EVand offers two battery settings: one from 40 kWh and another of 52 kWhassociated with electric motors between 95 and 150 hp. The estimated autonomy exceeds 400 kilometers In its most capable version, which makes it a very competent alternative within the electric urban segment.
Production will be carried out at the Renault plant in Douai (France)within the framework of collaboration between both groups. This decision not only speeds up the industrialization of the model, but also reinforces the synergies strategy to reduce costs and accelerate the transition to electrification.
His launch in Europe is scheduled for the end of 2025although there is still no concrete date, nor a definitive price. However, everything indicates that it will move in a strip similar to that of the R5, with an estimated starting point around the 25,000 euros.
With everything we saw, the micra is postulated as one of the most balanced and attractive options for those looking for an urban, electric and own character.
