Nissan Accelerates European Electrification with All-New LEAF and Micra EV Launches in 2025

Nissan is set to further electrify its European lineup with the launch of two exciting new electric vehicles (EVs) in 2025 – the all-new Nissan LEAF and the return of the iconic MICRA as a fully electric model. These models, along with a significant upgrade to Nissan's groundbreaking e-POWER hybrid technology, are part of the company’s ambitious electrification strategy aimed at reshaping the future of electric mobility across Europe.

The All-New MICRA: A Stylish and Efficient Electric City Car

The first major launch in 2025 will be the fully electric Nissan MICRA, designed by Nissan Design Europe in London. This new MICRA will continue to embody the compact, stylish, and practical design that has made the model a popular choice for urban drivers. Built on an advanced small-platform architecture, the new MICRA will offer two battery options – 40kWh and 52kWh – providing a driving range of over 248 miles on a single charge. Production of the MICRA EV will take place at the Ampere ElectriCity plant in Douai, France, with sales expected to begin by the end of the year.

The all-new MICRA EV promises a perfect balance of performance, range, and innovation, making it an ideal choice for drivers seeking a city-friendly, eco-conscious vehicle.

Nissan LEAF EV: The Iconic Electric Vehicle Returns in 2025

Following the launch of the MICRA, the third generation of Nissan’s pioneering LEAF electric vehicle will hit the market in 2025. The original Nissan LEAF was a game-changer when it was first introduced in 2010, pioneering the shift to mass-market electric vehicles (EVs). The third-generation LEAF, developed on Nissan’s advanced CMF-EV platform, shares its architecture with the Nissan ARIYA. It will feature an aerodynamic design, enhancing both style and efficiency.

Manufactured at Nissan’s state-of-the-art Sunderland plant in the UK, the new LEAF is part of Nissan’s ambitious EV36Zero project. This initiative aims to transform the Sunderland plant into a leading EV hub, combining vehicle production, renewable energy, and battery manufacturing in one location.

Nissan e-POWER: Enhanced Efficiency and Driving Experience

Nissan’s innovative e-POWER technology, which redefines the hybrid driving experience, will also receive an important update in 2025. Since its introduction in 2022, e-POWER has been praised for delivering the efficiency and driving enjoyment of an EV without requiring external charging. The upcoming upgrades will make the system even more efficient, refined, and closer to a full EV driving experience, offering improved emissions, performance, and driving comfort. The enhanced e-POWER system will debut in the Nissan Qashqai, which will continue to be a top choice for those seeking an eco-friendly yet powerful driving experience.

JUKE EV: Nissan's Compact Crossover Goes Electric in 2026

Looking ahead, Nissan is also preparing the third-generation JUKE compact crossover, which will be launched as a fully electric vehicle (EV) in FY2026. Inspired by the bold Hyper Punk concept car, which was showcased at the Japan Mobility Show in 2023, the new JUKE EV will combine cutting-edge technology, performance, and design, further enhancing Nissan's EV offerings.

Nissan’s Vision for a Fully Electrified Europe

The launch of the new MICRA and LEAF EVs, alongside upgrades to e-POWER technology, highlights Nissan’s commitment to electrifying its European vehicle lineup. As Leon Dorssers, Regional Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Nissan AMIEO (Africa, Middle-East, India, Europe & Oceania), explained:

“The renewal of Nissan’s European line-up is the realisation of our bold plan to electrify our range in Europe. All the new models will share common Nissan DNA: striking design, technical innovation, and intuitive technology – a combination of qualities which we are confident will attract new buyers to Nissan, as well as continuing to appeal to existing customers who already love how Nissan vehicles enrich their daily lives.”

David Moss, Senior Vice President of Region Research & Development, AMIEO, added:

“With the return of the Micra as an EV and the third-generation LEAF, we’ve made significant advancements in one of our most popular technologies. The upcoming updates to e-POWER will make it even more efficient, refined, and closer overall to a pure EV-driving experience. It remains the powertrain of choice for buyers who love the feel of driving electric but don’t want to worry about charging.”

Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Limited, trading as Smiths of Ilkeston, Smiths Vauxhall and Smiths Motor Group, F.P. Smith Motors Limited, trading as Smiths Nissan, Smiths Vauxhall and Smiths Motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to. For further information you can visit their website at www.nationalconciliationservice.co.uk or call 01788 538317.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
