Nissan has taken the wraps off the Micra EV, the electrified version of its popular hatchback. The electric version of the Nissan Micra has been designed at Nissan's Design Europe (NDE) in London and is likely to be up for sale in Europe first and later in other countries.
The Nissan Micra EV is based on the brand's Ampr Small platform, and it gets two battery pack options- a 40 kWh or a 52 kWh battery. The 40 kWh battery is said to deliver 120 hp, while the bigger battery pack is capable of churning out 147 hp.
The Nissan Micra EV claims to have a "friendly face" with distinctive headlights, semi-circular DRLs, giving an impression of "raised eyebrows". The brand highlights that the Micra EV will get six color options, two roof options, and 14 colour options. The ice-cream scoop feature line, prominent wheel arches with black panel inserts, and 18-inch wheels are the other exterior highlights of the Nissan Micra EV.
Nissan claims that the new Micra might seem to be compact from the outside but ensures enough space on the inside. It has a trunk space of 300 liters and split folding rear seats. The other interior feature in the Nissan Micra EV includes 48-color ambient lighting, voice control Google assist for music control, change car settings, activate smart home devices, and more. The Harmon Kardon audio system is claimed to enhance the music experience.

Revving up: Renault gets keys to Nissan's TN plant

Renault has bought its partner Nissan 's 51 per cent stake in its joint venture plant near Chennai, four months after announcing the deal. With the completion of the acquisition, the French auto major has become the sole owner of the Oragadam facility in Tamil Nadu. Renault expects to strengthen its sales in the Indian market and step up exports. Japan's Nissan, which has struggled to gain market share in India, will now pay Renault to manufacture its models at the Chennai plant in a contract manufacturing arrangement. "India is a key market for Renault Group and also plays a vital role in our global R&D footprint. With full ownership of our plant in Chennai, we now have all the means to accelerate in India," said Renault Group CEO Francois Provost. Since its launch in 2010, the Chennai plant has produced over 2.8 million vehicles - including 1.2 million exported to more than 100 countries - as well as 4.6 million engines and gearboxes. Supported by nearly 300 local suppliers, the plant has an annual production capacity of over 400,000 vehicles and it is currently using nearly 50 per cent of it. Renault expects the capacity utilisation at the plant to improve as new models for both Renault and Nissan roll out of Oragadam. The plant is preparing to host Renault Group's new multi-energy modular platform, which will "support the Renault brand's future models", a statement said. Renault has appointed Stephane Deblaise as its India CEO effective Sept 1, 2025 to lead the next phase of the French auto major's strategy here. The new strategy is bullish on the local market's importance in the group's global strategy. "Renault Group looks to India as a key driver of international expansion" the statement said. It added that this move is part of a broader momentum, highlighted by the opening of the group's largest design centre outside France, announced in April, and the launch of the new Triber - the first model in a product offensive that will include four new vehicles.
