Nissan’s ongoing electrified product offensive will be powered up with the launch of two all-new electric vehicles in 2025 – and a third coming soon – as well as an update to one of its most innovative and popular technologies.
Workers at Britain’s biggest car plant in Sunderland are preparing to start production of an all-new, third-generation version of Nissan’s pioneering LEAF electric vehicle, with the first cars rolling off the production lines later this year.
As if all that wasn’t enough, Nissan will also launch an all-new fully electric Micra in 2025, designed by the team at Nissan Design Europe, based in Paddington, London.
First to launch in 2025 will be the all-new Micra. It will remain true to the DNA of its predecessors with a compelling mix of audacious style and simplicity in a compact package.
The new Micra was designed at Nissan Design Europe in London, using the AmpR Small platform shared with Renault’s R5. It will be available with two battery options: 40 and 52kWh, providing a maximum range of over 248 miles.
Sales of the new Micra will begin before the end of the year. It will be built at Ampere ElectriCity plant in Douai, France.
The second new vehicle to be launched in Europe in 2025 also represents the return of a historic nameplate: LEAF – a badge forever associated with the pioneering EV which started the mass-market electric vehicle revolution when it was introduced in 2010.
The third generation of LEAF will attract buyers thanks to its eye-catching aerodynamic shape. It has been developed on Nissan’s CMF-EV platform, architecture it shares with its larger sibling, the ARIYA.
The European version of the new LEAF will be manufactured at Nissan’s state-of-the-art production facility in Sunderland, in the north-east of England.
It forms part of Nissan’s EV36Zero project – a blueprint that will transform Sunderland Plant into a flagship EV hub, bringing together electric vehicles, renewable energy and battery production.
David Moss, Senior Vice President, Region Research & Development, AMIEO, said: “As well as welcoming the return of the Micra as an EV and the third generation of our revolutionary LEAF, we’ve made significant steps with one of our most popular technologies.
“Having reinvented the hybrid with introduction of e-POWER by making it quieter and more responsive than a traditional hybrid, the forthcoming updates to e-POWER will make it even more efficient, more refined and closer overall to a pure EV-driving experience.
“It will remain the powertrain of choice for buyers who love the feel of driving electric, but don’t want to recharge.”
