Nissan Micra

Overview

The Nissan Micra is the small hatchback that Nissan now sells as a battery-electric car in the United Kingdom. Its UK model page lists two battery sizes, 40 kWh and 52 kWh, and three grades: Engage, Advance and Evolve. The Evolve grade appears only in the 52 kWh offers on the page.

Range and charging

Nissan quotes up to 196 miles of WLTP range for the 40 kWh battery and up to 257 miles for the 52 kWh battery. The footnotes refer to a 100 kW DC fast charger and to CCS 2 for DC charging. The page gives a charge from 15 to 80 percent in 30 minutes on a public charger, but it does not state a maximum charge rate or a 10 to 80 percent time, so those are left out here.

Driver assistance and apps

The page names ProPILOT Assist with Navi-Link, which it describes as adaptive cruise control for highways only, along with Intelligent Emergency Braking, the Around View Monitor and parking sensors with a camera. The MyNISSAN app lets owners locate the car, set the cabin temperature in advance, start charging remotely and schedule off-peak charging. The separate Nissan Charge app helps drivers find public chargers.

Pricing and warranty

The main banner shows a cash price from 21,495 pounds including the 3,750 pound Electric Car Grant, while the Engage grade is listed at 21,245 pounds including a 1,500 pound grant. Because the two figures differ, this profile records no single starting price. Nissan's UK warranty page gives the New Micra a battery warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles.
