Nissan’s schedule for 2025 includes the return of the Micra as an EV, the launch of a third generation LEAF and an updated e-Power for the Qashqai, writes Trish Whelan.
Nissan say the new Micra will remain true to the DNA of its predecessors with a mix of audacious style and simplicity in a compact package. New Micra was designed at Nissan Design Europe in London using a platform shared with Renault’s R5. It will be available with two battery options: 40 and 52kWh providing a maximum range of over 400km. Sales will begin before the end of this year.
The second new vehicle to be launched this year is the third generation of the Leaf EV. It shares a platform with its larger sibling, the Ariya, at Nissan’s production facility in Sunderland.
Nissan’s updated e-Power technology will also be upgraded this year with changes to the system on Qashqai delivering improvements to its emissions, efficiency and refinement, bringing the drive experience closer to that of a full EV.
The third generation Juke compact crossover will follow in 2026 as a pure EV.
