Nissan Micra EV: Full Specs, Irish Pricing and What the Grant Covers
The Micra is in its sixth generation and sold only as an electric car. Nissan describes it as a compact B-segment hatchback, developed at Nissan Design Europe in London and built on the shared AmpR platform.
It comes in two battery sizes, which Nissan labels Standard Range and Extended Range, and three grades: Engage, Advance and Evolve. In Ireland that produces four price points, from €25,995.
Irish pricing
| Engage, 40 kWh | €25,995 — 18-inch wheels with covers, LED rear signature lights, cloth seats, 60:40 split rear bench. Nissan quotes €280 per month |
| Advance, 40 kWh | €27,995 — adds two-tone metallic paint, one-pedal driving with regeneration, 10.1-inch display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging |
| Advance, 52 kWh | €30,995 — same equipment, larger battery |
| Evolve, 52 kWh | €32,995 — 52 kWh only. Adds hands-free park assist, sport interior, intelligent speed assist, an exterior lighting welcome sequence |
| Included | The €3,500 SEAI grant, per Nissan |
| Excluded | Delivery-related charges, per Nissan |
The spread from Engage to Evolve is €7,000, or 27% of the entry price. Nissan announced pricing and opened pre-orders on 10 October 2025, showed the car at the NEVO Electric Vehicle Show at the RDS in Dublin that November, and put it in dealerships in January 2026. The two 40 kWh grades and the 52 kWh Advance fall below €31,000; the Evolve does not. Comparable pricing across the segment is covered in our rundown of affordable European EVs.
Technical specifications
Nissan labels the two versions Standard Range and Extended Range.
| Standard Range (40 kWh) · Extended Range (52 kWh) | |
| Max power | 120 PS (90 kW) · 150 PS (110 kW) |
| Max torque | 225 Nm · 245 Nm |
| 0–62 mph | 9.0 sec · 8.0 sec |
| Max speed | 93 mph on both |
| Range (WLTP) | Up to 198 miles · up to 260 miles |
| AC charging | 11 kW on both. 10–100% in 3h40 · 4h45 |
| DC rapid charging | 80 kW · 100 kW. 15–80% in 30 minutes on both |
| Connector | CCS2 |
| Drivetrain | Front-wheel drive on both |
| Kerb weight | 1,377 kg · 1,452 kg |
| Boot | 326 litres, expanding to 1,106 litres with the rear seats folded |
| Braked towing | 500 kg on both |
| Wheels & tyres | 18-inch standard on all grades, 195/55 |
Dimensions
Both battery versions share identical exterior dimensions.
| Length | 3,974 mm |
| Width | 1,830 mm excluding mirrors · 2,020 mm including them |
| Height | 1,499 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,541 mm |
| Turning circle | 10.3 m |
At just under four metres long on a 2,541 mm wheelbase, the proportions put a relatively long wheelbase inside a short body — the packaging benefit of a platform designed around a floor-mounted battery rather than adapted from a combustion car.
Nissan’s own caveat on these figures: its technical sheet states the electric range values and related technical figures are under homologation, intended for comparison purposes only, and subject to change without prior notice. Nissan also revised its range upward after further testing, attributing the gain to improved aerodynamic efficiency without changing major components, so earlier material carries lower numbers. Charging rates differ between documents — the European sheet gives 100 kW DC for the 52 kWh car, Nissan Ireland’s launch material 110 kW.
Working out your own numbers. A WLTP figure is a standardised laboratory result, not a prediction for any particular journey. To model this car against your own mileage and electricity rate, the inputs you need are here: 40 kWh / 317 km or 52 kWh / 416 km, charging at 11 kW AC or 80–100 kW DC.
Platform and chassis
Nissan states the Micra uses the AmpR shared EV platform, with the battery pack sitting as low as possible within the architecture. The front suspension uses independent struts with passive dampers; the rear uses multi-link geometry, which Nissan describes as a configuration typically found in higher-segment cars.
The car was developed at Nissan Design Europe in London. A switch on the steering wheel changes drive mode, adjusting power and torque availability, throttle response and steering tune, along with ambient lighting, screen colour and the information displayed.
Battery warranty
Nissan lists “up to 8 years warranty.” Its footnote defines the battery state-of-health guarantee as covering capacity loss below 9 of 12 bars on the in-car gauge, for 8 years or 100,000 km.
Nine of twelve bars is 75% of original capacity, so the guarantee applies once the battery falls below that level, within whichever limit is reached first.
Equipment
| Body | Five doors, five seats. Wheel finish varies by grade — covers on Engage, alloys above |
| Infotainment | 10.1-inch display, Google services built in including Assistant, Play and Maps route planning; wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto |
| Audio | Nine-speaker Harman Kardon system, availability depending on grade |
| Cabin | Three interiors in recycled fabrics and synthetic leather; 48 ambient lighting colours |
| Power output | Vehicle-to-load, allowing the battery to run external devices |
| Driver assistance | Adaptive cruise with lane centring and navigation input; automatic emergency braking; lane departure warning; parking sensors and camera |
| Colours | Four two-tone finishes, each with a black roof: white, silver, red, blue |
Assisted driving scope: Nissan’s footnote specifies the system is intended for motorways only — roads separated by barriers — and describes it as eyes-on, hands-on. It is a driver assistance feature and does not replace the driver.
Where it is sold
The electric Micra is sold in Europe only.
| United States | Never sold, in any of six generations. Nissan has ruled out North America for the electric car |
| Canada | Fourth-generation petrol Micra sold 2015–2019, then discontinued |
| India | Petrol Micra discontinued in 2020. Autocar India reports Nissan will not bring the electric Micra or the new LEAF to the market |
In India, Nissan’s stated focus is the Magnite and combustion models, including a Triber-based MPV and an SUV aimed at the Hyundai Creta. In North America, the range is contracting: the Versa and Altima were reported as ending after the 2025 model year, and Automotive News reported a dealer memo indicating the Ariya would not be imported for 2026 — unconfirmed by Nissan. If accurate, that leaves the LEAF as its only US electric car.
On prices listed for those markets: aggregator sites carry a US figure near $28,000 and an Indian figure of ₹15–20 lakh with a November 2026 date. Nissan has announced neither the car nor pricing for either market, so these are not confirmed figures.
Not from Nissan Ireland. This section draws on Autocar India and reporting on Nissan’s North American plans, not the Irish product page, which covers Ireland only.
My Take — Mr Wangdoo
Three things in the specification stand out.
The chassis. 150 PS and 245 Nm is a lot for a B-segment hatchback, and Nissan itself describes the multi-link rear suspension as a configuration normally found a segment or two higher. A 2,541 mm wheelbase inside a 3,974 mm body is generous for the class.
The charging: 100 kW DC. That is competitive rather than exceptional in 2026, and it is the figure that determines how the car behaves on a long journey rather than a commute. Thirty minutes from 15% to 80% is the practical number.
The third is the warranty definition: eight years or 100,000 km, applying once capacity falls below 75%. For a car aimed at urban use, the time limit will likely arrive before the distance limit.
None of that speaks to how the car drives, which I have not experienced and cannot comment on.
Common questions
How much is the electric Nissan Micra in Ireland?
Nissan Ireland lists three grades across four price points: Engage 40 kWh at €25,995, Advance 40 kWh at €27,995, Advance 52 kWh at €30,995, and Evolve 52 kWh at €32,995. Nissan states all prices include the €3,500 SEAI grant and exclude delivery-related charges. A monthly figure of €280 is quoted against the entry grade.
What is the Micra’s range?
Nissan’s European technical sheet gives combined WLTP figures of up to 198 miles for the 40 kWh battery and up to 260 miles for the 52 kWh, equivalent to the up to 317 km and up to 416 km quoted in Ireland. Nissan states these values are under homologation, intended for comparison only, and subject to change. Earlier material gave 310 km and 408 km before Nissan revised the figures upward following further testing.
Does the €25,995 price include the SEAI grant?
Yes. Nissan Ireland states that all listed Micra prices include the SEAI grant of €3,500 and exclude delivery-related charges. Every grade also sits below the €40,000 threshold for full VRT relief, which runs to 31 December 2026.
How big is the electric Micra?
Nissan gives 3,974 mm long, 1,830 mm wide excluding mirrors and 1,499 mm tall, on a 2,541 mm wheelbase, with a 10.3 m turning circle. Both battery versions are identical externally. Kerb weight is 1,377 kg for the 40 kWh and 1,452 kg for the 52 kWh. The boot holds 326 litres, or 1,106 litres with the rear seats folded.
How do I work out what it would cost me to run?
The figures needed are battery capacity and range: 40 kWh and 317 km, or 52 kWh and 416 km. Combined with your annual mileage and your electricity rate, those give a per-kilometre cost. Wangdoo’s EV running cost calculator takes those inputs. WLTP range is a standardised laboratory figure, so real-world consumption will differ with speed, temperature, load and driving style.
What does the 8-year battery warranty actually cover?
Per Nissan’s footnote, the state-of-health guarantee covers capacity loss below 9 of 12 bars on the in-vehicle gauge, for 8 years or 100,000 km. It does not guarantee full capacity for eight years, and the mileage limit applies alongside the time limit.
How fast does it charge?
Nissan’s technical sheet gives maximum DC rates of 80 kW for the 40 kWh battery and 100 kW for the 52 kWh, with both taking about 30 minutes from 15% to 80%. Home AC charging is 11 kW on both, taking 3h40 and 4h45 respectively from 10% to 100%. Nissan Ireland’s launch material cites 110 kW for the larger battery.
Is the electric Micra coming to the US or India?
No to both. The Micra has never been sold in the United States, and Nissan has ruled out North America for the electric version. In India the petrol Micra was discontinued in 2020, and Autocar India reports Nissan will not bring the electric Micra there either. Dollar and rupee prices appearing on aggregator sites have not been announced by Nissan for either market.
Does the assisted driving work on all roads?
No. Nissan’s footnote states the system is intended for motorways only, specifically roads separated by barriers, and describes it as eyes-on and hands-on. It is an assistance feature and not a self-driving system.
