Nissan has concluded plans to roll out an all-new compact electric vehicle, which will succeed the iconic Nissan Micra as the entry-level vehicle in the Nissan line-up.
This was made known on Thursday as part of the new Alliance roadmap with two other auto giants, focusing on pure electric vehicles and connected mobility activities.
Designed by Nissan and engineered and manufactured by Renault on the Alliance CMF B-EV platform, the car, for start, is to be rolled out from Renault ElectriCity centre in France.
According to Nissan, the new compact EV will be built on a common platform that enables the companies to maintain unique styling for their respective products, as demonstrated by the design preview of the new vehicle.
The Europe region is already playing a key role in driving electrification under Nissan’s Ambition 2030 vision, with new vehicles and technologies arriving soon, including the new Nissan Ariya, a new EV crossover and Nissan’s unique e-POWER technology arriving in Europe in the new Qashqai and X-Trail.
“This all-new model will be designed by Nissan and engineered and manufactured by Renault using our new common platform, maximizing the use of our Alliance assets while maintaining its Nissan-ness,” said Nissan Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta.
“This is a great example of the Alliance’s ‘smart differentiation’ approach. Succeeding our iconic Micra, I am sure this new model will provide further excitement to our customers in Europe.”
