View dealThe Nissan Micra is a small electric hatchback, and the current car, on sale in this form since 2025, is electric only. Five seats, five doors, 3.97 metres long and front-wheel drive, it is Nissan's smallest electric model and an easy car to place: town driving, commuting, a second car for a household that can charge at home.
The choice is simple. One body style, one type of powertrain in two battery sizes, and three trims called Engage, Advance and Evolve.
What you're really deciding is how much range you need and how much kit you want, because every Micra drives the same way and comes with the same core safety equipment.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The Micra is a compact, five-seat electric hatchback with a 285-litre boot, a three-year or 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty and a four-star Euro NCAP rating. The badge dates back to the early 1980s.
Reviewers consistently praise how it drives. Quick steering, good grip and a chassis that stays composed mean road testers rate it as genuinely enjoyable on a country road, not just competent around town.
The other consistent theme is the cabin: soft-touch materials, physical climate controls and clear screens that testers rate above the class average. The common criticism is rear legroom, which is tight for taller adults, so treat the back seats as occasional rather than everyday adult space.
Because the standard equipment list is strong for a small car and the running costs are low. Every Micra gets a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, air conditioning, privacy glass, rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights and an electric parking brake.
Safety kit is standard across the range too: autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist and traffic sign recognition. Euro NCAP awarded the Micra four stars, with 80% for adult occupant protection and 80% for child occupant protection.
Two details matter more than they look on paper. Every version has a heat pump, which helps winter efficiency, and the battery carries an eight-year or 100,000-mile warranty guaranteeing 70% of capacity. Servicing is every 12 months or 30,000 miles.
On a lease, the questions we get asked most about this car are mileage and charging. If you can charge at home overnight, the Micra makes obvious sense; if you can't, read our electric car guide before you commit to a contract.
There's one type of powertrain in the Micra range, offered with two battery sizes. Every version is automatic, front-wheel drive and plugs in to charge, so the real decision is how far you need to go between charges.
Battery capacity runs from 40 kWh to 52 kWh, power from 120 to 148 bhp, and WLTP range up to 260 miles on the best version. Charging peaks at 80 to 100 kW, and at 100 kW the quickest version goes from 15% to 80% in 30 minutes.
In everyday terms: 0-62 mph takes 8.0 to 9.0 seconds depending on version, top speed is 93 mph, and efficiency is quoted at 4.2 to 4.4 miles per kWh. Insurance sits in groups 21 to 24. It suits drivers who can charge at home or at work.
