Nissan has confirmed the new Micra will be priced from £22,995, when it goes on sale in September.

The all-new electric supermini is also expected to qualify for the Government's plug-in car grant, reducing the price by £1,500.

The Micra, whose styling harks back to previous iterations of the model, will be available in two battery options – 40kWh and 52kWh – with ranges of 198 miles and 260 miles respectively.

It shares a platform with the recently launched Renault 5.

The 40kWh models offer 122HP and 225Nm of torque, and these increase to 150PS and 245Nm for the bigger battery cars.

Both models can be rapid charged at an appropriate DC charger from 15-80% in 30 minutes, through their respective 80kW and 100kW on-board chargers, with a heat pump standard on all models.

Three trim levels will be offered: Engage, Advance and Evolve.

As standard, the Micra's interior features a 10.1-inch centrally-mounted touchscreen for the infotainment system.

Advance and Evolve models also feature a 10.1-inch digital instrument cluster display and are equipped with Google built-in services.

The new Micra will be available with Nissan ProPilot assist, offering lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control and emergency braking.

It also offers Blind Spot Warning Intervention, Lane Change Warning, Rear Automatic Emergency Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Occupant Safe Exit alert.

These include the Micra, followed by a new Leaf, Juke and an A-segment city car, as well as rolling out the upgraded third generation of Nissan’s e-Power technology to the Qashqai.
