    Nissan Micra returns! New EV supermini due this year with Renault 5 flavour

    The new Nissan Micra design is inspired by the distinctive, third-generation Micra from the early 2000s

Yes, it really is. And yes, fully electric. Welcome to the brand-new Nissan Micra: a car described as “audacious” by its makers, and one that brings a little character back into the small car game.

A game run by the spangly new Renault 5, of course. This one’s spun off the same platform – Nissan and Renault being 'Alliance' partners, you remember – designed by the Japanese carmaker’s London office and ready for deployment later this year.

 And just like the Renault 5, it’ll be available with either a 40kWh or 52kWh battery, Nissan targeting a range just shy of 250 miles (400km) for the latter.

Yes, it shares the R5’s boxy silhouette, but Nissan’s poured its own heritage into the face of the ‘daring’ new Micra. It’ll also “remain true to the DNA of its predecessors” via ‘simplicity’, but at this early stage we’re yet to find out what that entails. We've literally only got this image.

This and the new third-gen Leaf form part of a new global model offensive by Nissan in a bid to kickstart its turnaround. A turnaround that includes a next-gen hybrid powertrain – under the guise of ‘e-power’ – refreshed combustion engined-cars (for various markets around the world), unveiling a new minivan and Kei car for Japan, revitalising Infiniti in the US, and even a striking new Juke for Europe.

“We are committed to investing in products that embody the very best of Nissan,” said incoming new Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa. The new Micra will be on sale before the end of the year, so not long to find out.

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

    Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
