In Europe, Nissan will be introducing four new electric models by 2027, and while the next-generation Leaf was teased a couple months ago, the first of Nissan's new electric vehicles (EVs) to get actually revealed is the sixth-gen Micra hatchback, reports Jalopnik.

While previous Micras were all Nissan creations, this new one is a Renault 5 with different styling, the latest result of the Renault-Nissan alliance. The Micra's French bones are obvious, especially inside where not much has changed, but that doesn't mean the Micra isn't adorable.

In addition to being the first electric Micra, it's electric-only at that — there's no option for an internal combustion engine, hybrid or otherwise. Nissan says the new Micra "will stay true to its distinct character as a stylish and unpretentious car," describing it as agile, assertive and audacious. The Micra was developed at Nissan's London-based European design studio, and though the glass, roofline and overall shape make the Renault base clear, every body panel is unique to the Nissan.

Its expressive front end has slim rectangular headlights surrounded by circular LED running lights. Nissan barely changed the Renault 5's interior for the Micra, but that's alright as it's already a very nice design. There's a pair of 10.1-inch screens in a blocky shroud at the top of the shelf-like dash, with the center touchscreen and its associated air vents and physical controls angled towards the driver. Where the Renault has a 5 logo in the center console, the Micra has a Mt. Fuji design.

The Micra will be available with all sorts of tech and safety features. Lower-end Micras will have 121 horsepower and a 40-kWh battery pack giving it 193 miles of range (on the European cycle), and the optional 148-hp motor paired with a 52-kWh battery brings the range up to 254 miles. Either way the Micra will be quite light for an EV, weighing in at 3,086 pounds at the lower end or 3,360 pounds for fancier models.
