Small Car. Big Personality. The Micra Goes Electric.

The city car Swansea has loved for 40 years is back - and it’s buzzing with energy.

Everyone in South Wales has a Micra story. Maybe it was your first car after passing your test, or the trusty runaround that never let your nan down. At Bassetts Nissan, we are delighted to announce that the legend has returned.

But this isn’t the Micra you remember. The All-New Nissan Micra has been reinvented from the ground up as a pure electric vehicle, and it is arguably the most exciting small car we have ever seen in our showroom.

Designed to Make You Smile

It features iconic circular LED headlights that you can’t help but love. It’s compact enough to squeeze into the tightest parking spots in Mumbles, but spacious enough inside to feel like a much larger car.

Perfect for Swansea Living

Why is this the ultimate car for our city?

• Look closely at the side profile. The designers have sculpted a unique ‘scoop’ line along the doors - perfect for a car that’s destined for trips to Joe’s Ice Cream or Verdis!
• Just like its big brothers, the Qashqai and LEAF, the new Micra comes with Google Maps and Assistant natively installed.
• Unusually for a small car, the entry-level ‘Engage’ trim comes with a Heat Pump as standard. This is a game-changer for Welsh winters, keeping your cabin toasty without draining your battery range.

The Stats: Affordability Meets Range

The best news? Going electric doesn't have to break the bank.

Starting from just £21,495 (including the Government Grant), it is one of the most affordable high-tech EVs on the market.

Range Choices:

40kWh Battery: Up to 198 miles range - perfect for city commuting.

52kWh Battery: Up to 260 miles range - giving you the freedom to head up to Brecon or down to Tenby without a worry.

And its rapid charging means you can top up from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes at a rapid charger.
