Nissan Micra review

There are three trims available – Engage, Advance and Evolve. Entry level Engage starts at £21,495 (with the plug-in grant applied) and is only available with the 40kWh battery.

Advance costs £23,495 (with the grant, etc), but you have the option of upgrading to the 52kWh car for an extra £2k. The Evolve model only comes with the 52kWh bad boy and tops out the range at £28,365.

On Nissan’s numbers, if you went for its PCP deal over four years and 32,000 miles with a £4k deposit, you’d be looking from £237 for the entry car to £346 for the range topper, which seems very reasonable.

What are the trims like? 

All Micras come with 18in wheels as standard, a digital instrument panel and a 10.1in touchscreen infotainment. You’ll also have access to Nissan’s app so you can find the car when you’ve lost it at the supermarket.

The entry-level Engage trim gets plastic trim on its 18-inchers and comes with four speakers on the audio system. Advance adds two speakers, adaptive cruise control, alloy wheels, a rear-view camera and front sensors, plus wireless phone charging and ambient lighting.

As if you thought it couldn’t get any more exciting, the top spec Evolve car offers a Harmon/Kardon sound system, heated front seats and steering wheel, fancier cruise control, two-tone paint and paddleshift regen.

Which one should I go for?

We’ve only driven the top spec car in the Netherlands so far, before the Micra goes on sale and deliveries start at the beginning of 2026. On paper we’d say go for the highest spec you can afford with the Micra – the Engage gets heated seats (a must for an EV when using the heat saps range).
