The new Nissan Micra will only be electric: a new era begins

Nissan has confirmed it: its next Micra will only be offered with electric propulsion and will be built on the Renault 5 platform. It will arrive in 2024.

The segment of zero-emission utility vehicles will receive a new model very soon, since Nissan has decided that your new Micra will only be electric. For now, we have only been able to see some images of him and it will be in 2024 when we will be able to find him on our roads.

Apparently the emblematic Nissan Micra will receive a big change to regain some of its popularity. It will do so with a new generation, which will share many elements with the reborn Renault 5 that will also be with us soon and that it is one of the most anticipated electric cars of the moment.

Both will be made from plataforma CMF-B EV and, judging by the photos that have already been revealed, issues such as his silhouette will be very similar. Of course, they will have clear differences between them, since the new nissan micra will be characterized by more rounded shapes in your body and light signature.

This will serve to provide a greater personality to this model, but the common elements with other models they will be obvious. This has a clear goal, as it will help to reduce production costs considerably.

In addition to the 5, the Japanese utility will have parts in common with the new Megane E-Tech and the Nissan Ariya, such as Google’s connection system. There will also be points in common with the Leaf and parts of the suspension and seats will come from the current Clio and Micra.

On the other hand, this electric will also be characterized by less expensive battery chemistry. In any case, the brand announces that the capacity of the battery will be more than 50 kWh, which will make the autonomy of the new Nissan Micra be of 400 km according to the WLTP cycle.

With these bases, both the French and Japanese models will try to gain a foothold, being cheaper to manufacture and a 10% more efficient to drive than a Renault Zoe current. Will they manage to captivate the public?
