Since 1982, Nissan has been producing a supermini car (B-segment) the Nissan Micra, also known as the Nissan March. So far, five generations of this model have arrived on the market, and the Japanese manufacturer has announced that, in the next two years, it will launch the sixth generation of Micra.

The new generation of Micra will be based on the same platform as the all-electric Renault 5 E-Tech, and Nissan is trying to capitalize on the current popularity of small city cars. It will be an all-electric car and will be produced in France.

Nissan is still hiding information about the car, which is understandable since its launch is still two years away. Also, information has previously appeared that the Japanese manufacturer is seriously considering a new model of a small city car that will be positioned below the Micra, but some believe that this model could be the next generation of Micra. Whether this will be true remains to be seen.

Given that it shares the same platform as the all-electric Renault, the Micra will be offered with a single electric motor with 95 hp (71 kW), 120 hp (89 kW) and 150 hp (110 kW). It will be equipped with 40 or 52 kWh batteries, which will allow a range of between 300 and 410 kilometers.

More information coming soon.
