Welcome to your next learner car: this is the new, electrified Nissan Micra

Take a good, long look at the new Nissan Micra’s pristinely moulded flanks and immaculate wheels while you can. Everyone’s favourite learner car has returned as an electrified supermini, ready to be silently dinged into oblivion by an entirely new generation of drivers.

We jest, of course. This, the sixth generation of the Japanese carmaker’s venerable B-segment hero, utilises the new ‘AmpR Small’ platform that underpins the award-winning Renault 5. Though here it’s treated to a distinctly Nissan silhouette.
