Nissan announces all-new EV model for Europe

MANILA: Nissan has announced the development of an all-new compact electric vehicle for Europe.

The new car is set to be manufactured at the Renault ElectriCity center in France. It will replace the iconic Micra as Nissan’s entry-level model.

Europe has been contributing significantly in driving electrification under Nissan’s Ambition 2030 vision, with new vehicles and innovations coming soon, including the new Ariya, an EV crossover, and the notable e-Power technology, which will be available in the new Qashqai and X-trail.

This lineup will be further upgraded with the arrival of the all-new compact electric vehicle. It is designed by Nissan and engineered by Renault on the Alliance CMG B-EV platform. As shown by the new vehicle’s design preview, this platform allows the companies to maintain their unique design for their different products.

The upcoming EV was revealed as part of Alliance 2030, a common strategy shared by Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi Motors that concentrates on EVs and connected mobility activities.
