Introducing the Micra EV: A Green Marvel
Hold onto your steering wheels, folks! The iconic Nissan Micra is making a comeback, and this time, it’s traded its gasoline for good ol’ electricity. Yes, you heard it right – the sixth generation Micra has gone all-electric, promising to deliver a driving experience that’s not just eco-friendly but also wallet-friendly! Starting at £22,995 (that’s just above $30,000 for our American friends), the new Micra EV is ready to take the UK by storm.
Power Up: Range and Charging Galore
The buzz around the Micra EV isn’t just because it’s all-new; it’s also packing some serious punch in the range department. With two battery options – a 40 kWh and 52 kWh – drivers can expect a WLTP (that’s the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure, for those not in the know) range of up to 260 miles. That’s a generous upgrade: 7 more miles on the smaller battery and 6 extra on the larger. Need to recharge? A 100 kW DC charger will have you back on the road in no time, juicing your Micra from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes!
Trim Levels and Prices – What’s Not to Love?
Style meets sustainability with three trim levels: Engage, Advanced, and Evolve. Prices range from a sweet £22,995 up to £29,865 ($40,000) depending on your fancy. And before you ask, yes, they’re expected to qualify for the new £1,500 ($2,000) UK electric car grant. Featuring a standard heat pump on both battery packs, the Micra EV ensures optimal battery heating and cooling, so you take home a car that’s not just smart but also smartly designed.
With over 6 million Micras sold since its debut in 1983, Nissan is clearly putting its money where its mouth is. The Micra EV not only represents a significant leap in their lineup but also stands tall as a testament to the brand’s commitment to an electrifying future. Buckle up – the Nissan Micra EV is here to redefine your urban adventures!
