What Does the Five-Star Green NCAP Rating Mean for the Nissan MICRA?

Green NCAP is an independent vehicle assessment programme that evaluates the environmental performance of cars, helping motorists make more informed decisions when choosing their next vehicle.

Its Sustainability Rating considers several important areas, including clean air, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions. The assessment also takes a broader view of environmental impact across a vehicle’s lifecycle, from production and use through to end-of-life treatment.

The all-new electric Nissan MICRA achieved the programme’s maximum five-star Sustainability Rating, which Green NCAP reserves for vehicles demonstrating very strong environmental performance.

Its results include:

  • Five-star Sustainability Rating: Green NCAP’s highest overall rating.
  • 9.3/10 for Energy Efficiency: Recognition of the MICRA’s efficient use of energy.
  • 10/10 for Greenhouse Gases: The maximum score in this assessment category.
  • 9.1/10 for Clean Air: A strong result for its clean-air performance.
  • Good cold-weather performance: Independent recognition of its performance in lower temperatures.

For customers considering the switch to electric driving, these results provide an additional independent reference point when comparing vehicles on environmental performance.

The 40kWh battery provides up to 196 miles of WLTP driving range, while the larger 52kWh battery offers up to 257 miles, depending on specification.

For drivers travelling around Fife, Dundee, Edinburgh and the wider Scottish road network, the available range makes the electric MICRA worth considering for everyday journeys, commuting and longer trips with appropriate charging planning.

  • Nissan e-Pedal technology: Supports a more convenient driving experience by allowing acceleration and deceleration to be managed through the accelerator pedal in appropriate conditions.
  • Energy efficiency: Consumption of up to 4.38 miles per kWh, depending on specification and test conditions.

Actual driving range and energy consumption will vary according to factors such as temperature, driving style, road conditions, vehicle load and the use of heating or air conditioning.

Together, these features make the all-new Nissan MICRA an appealing option for motorists looking for a compact electric car with the flexibility to handle more than just short urban journeys.

Compact Nissan Design for Everyday Driving

Measuring less than four metres long and under 1.8 metres wide, the all-new Nissan MICRA has been designed to suit the demands of European roads.

Its compact dimensions can make manoeuvring, parking and navigating busy streets more convenient, while its distinctive exterior ensures it retains the character that has helped establish the MICRA name across five previous generations.

The sixth-generation model represents a significant evolution for the nameplate, transforming the familiar small car into a fully electric vehicle.

Its exterior was designed at Nissan Design Europe in London, with pronounced wheel arches, distinctive lighting and expressive proportions creating a contemporary interpretation of the MICRA's established identity.

For drivers in Scotland who want the benefits of an electric vehicle without moving to a larger car, the MICRA’s compact footprint offers a practical alternative.

Connected Technology and Features in the All-New Nissan MICRA

Beyond its electric powertrain, the all-new Nissan MICRA has been developed to support modern driving habits through connected technology and convenient everyday features.

NissanConnect with Google built-in provides integrated connectivity, including navigation functionality designed to make journeys easier to plan.

Route planning that incorporates charging stops can help drivers using the larger battery’s extended range to plan longer journeys with greater confidence.

Combined with regenerative braking and Nissan e-Pedal technology, these features help make the transition to electric driving more straightforward for customers who are new to battery-electric vehicles.

The result is a compact electric car that combines contemporary technology with the usability expected from a vehicle designed for everyday life.

Nissan’s Electrification Strategy Recognised by Green NCAP

Clíodhna Lyons, Region Vice President, Product, Brand & Marketing Strategy, Nissan AMIEO, said:

“The all-new MICRA shows how our electrification strategy is translating into vehicles designed around the needs of European customers. Its five-star Green NCAP Sustainability rating provides important independent recognition of the efficiency we set out to deliver, alongside the distinctive design, useful range and everyday usability customers expect from MICRA.

“As we continue to expand our electrified line-up in Europe, we are giving customers a choice of 100% electric and hybrid models – including leading hybrid e‑POWER technology, to suit different needs and lifestyles. MICRA is an important part of that portfolio, bringing distinct Nissan character to electric mobility.”

The award highlights Nissan’s wider approach to electrification, which includes both fully electric vehicles and hybrid technologies. With the all-new MICRA, the manufacturer is bringing electric mobility to the compact-car segment while maintaining the recognisable design and character associated with the model.

Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance Supports Electric Vehicle Development

The all-new Nissan MICRA was developed in partnership with Renault, drawing on shared electric-vehicle expertise and the Ampere AmpR Small platform.

This collaborative approach helps Nissan develop vehicles for European customers while retaining its own distinctive styling and brand identity.

The MICRA’s exterior design was created by Nissan Design Europe in London, while production takes place at the Ampere ElectriCity plant in Douai, France.

The project demonstrates how shared development and manufacturing resources can support the introduction of new electric vehicles while enabling manufacturers to tailor products to their individual customers and markets.
