The Nissan Micra successor has been outlined as a fully-electric compact model with up to 400 kilometres of driving range, set to launch in 2024.
The Micra replacement was announced at a Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance media event, with the vehicle said to be based on CMF-BEV architecture – shared with the upcoming Renault R5 as well as future Alpine and Dacia models.
Teaser images of the upcoming compact electric car from Nissan show a noticeable influence from the third-generation Micra – arguably the most recognisable version of the car – made between 2002 and 2010.
To help reduce development costs, up to 60 per cent of non-electric components will carry over from the current CMF-B platform – found in current models such as the Renault Clio, Renault Arkana, and the Nissan Juke.
Nissan predicts the Micra replacement will “democratise” the electric vehicle, with prices to be equivalent to internal-combustion engine cars in the same segment.
While the new Nissan compact electric vehicle (EV) has not been fully detailed, the car is being shown as an example of how the three carmakers will proceed with the ‘Leader-Follower Scheme’ going forward.
The Leader-Follow Scheme has each manufacturer focusing on a specific area of development, with all parties benefitting – with the aim to reduce battery costs by 50 per cent by 2026, and 65 per cent by 2028.
The Alliance aims to introduce 35 new EV models by 2030 – with 90 per cent of these based on five common platforms.
