Nissan unveils all-electric 6th-gen Micra
Nissan has revealed the all-new, sixth-generation Micra — now reimagined as a fully electric vehicle.
Set to go on sale in Europe later this year, the new Micra EV marks a bold shift from its traditionally cute design, adopting a more SUV-inspired look.
Designed at Nissan Design Europe (NDE) in London, the Micra EV features LED daytime running lights encircling the main headlamps, which perform a choreographed 'welcome wink' when the car is unlocked — a light pulse moving from left to right and back.
The same sequence plays in reverse as a 'farewell' when the car is locked. At the rear, the taillamps feature elegant circular LED elements, complemented by bold Nissan lettering on a black trim across the tailgate.
All variants will ride on 18-inch wheels with three designs available: 'Active' wheel covers, and 'Iconic' and 'Sport' alloy wheels.
Buyers can choose from 14 body colours, including dual-tone options with black or grey roofs.
Built on the AmpR platform — shared with the Renault 5 EV — the new Micra measures under 4 metres long and less than 1.8 metres wide, with a 2,540 mm wheelbase.
Inside, it boasts twin 10.1-inch digital displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment.
Hidden design details include a Mount Fuji outline moulded into the central storage space.
Boot space stands at 326 litres.
Two battery options will be offered:
• A 40 kWh pack with 120 BHP, 225 Nm torque, and 308 km range
• A 52 kWh pack with 147 BHP, 245 Nm torque, and 408 km range
The 40 kWh version supports 80 kW DC fast charging, while the 52 kWh variant allows up to 100 kW.
Both can charge from 15% to 80% in around 30 minutes.
A Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature is also included.

All-new Jeep Cherokee confirmed for late 2025 debut
TDT | agencies Jeep has officially announced that the all-new Cherokee SUV will make its global debut in late 2025, marking the return of the nameplate after the fifth generation was discontinued in 2023. A preview image reveals that the new Cherokee will adopt Jeep's latest design language, also seen on the Wagoneer S and updated Compass. The SUV maintains the brand's iconic seven-slot grille, accompanied by sleeker LED headlights with signature detailing and robust alloy wheels. The bonnet appears flatter and more pronounced, contributing to a tougher, more rugged presence. While the rear design hasn't been revealed, styling cues similar to the new Compass are expected. Built on Stellantis' new STLA Large platform, the next-gen Cherokee is confirmed to feature a hybrid powertrain. Although not yet officially detailed, both internal combustion engine (ICE) and fully electric variants are strongly anticipated as part of the lineup. Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf commented, 'The all-new Jeep Cherokee headlines our efforts to deliver more product, innovation, choice and standard content to customers than ever before. It will offer competitive pricing that targets the heart of the largest vehicle segment and fits perfectly between the Compass and Grand Cherokee, strengthening our core SUV portfolio.'

Dubai Real Estate Prices Likely To Face Double-Digit Fall After Years Of Boom, Fitch Says
Dubai's real estate market prices are likely to face a double-double-digit fall in the second half of the year and in 2026, ratings agency Fitch said in a report on Thursday, marking a sharp turn after years of a post-pandemic boom. A spike in deliveries in 2025 and 2026 to a planned 210,000 units, doubling from the previous three years, is likely to cause a record increase in supply and push prices down by no more than 15%, the agency said. The possible drop would follow a rise of around 60% in residential units prices between 2022 and the first quarter of this year in Dubai, where massive infrastructure spending, generous income tax policies and relaxed social and visa rules lured thousands of foreigners after the COVID-19 pandemic, including Russians amid war in Ukraine. Real estate plays a vital role for the economy of the emirate, the Gulf's hub for business and tourism, with sector transactions worth 761 billion dirhams ($207.22 billion) last year, rising 36% in volume, according to Dubai government data. In the past, Dubai suffered painful corrections akin to the property crash in 2009 which required a $20 billion Abu Dhabi-led bailout. The government has since taken measures to deleverage and strengthen the sector, and consolidated major state-owned real estate developers. It has also pursued an economic reboot anchored in what it hopes is sustainable growth, including a 10-year plan known as D33, to double output and become one of the world's top four financial centres. Fitch said on Thursday that banks and homebuilders can tolerate a decrease in prices. It noted that while real estate remains the largest component in UAE banks' lending books, banking sector exposure to firms operating in real estate had dropped to 14% of total gross loans at end of last year from 20% three years earlier. The attractiveness of properties in prime locations, which include palm tree-shaped artificial island Palm Jumeirah, together with delays in project completion would also help mitigate pricing pressure.
