What else is known
A Nissan representative admitted back in January 2022 that the fundamental new Micra will be developed by a Japanese company, but designed and built by Renault. , and power plants. The serial Renault 5 comes with batteries with a capacity of 40 or 52 kilowatt-hours, and three power plants: all with a front-mounted engine with a capacity of 95, 120 or 150 horsepower. Perhaps Nissan Micra buyers will have no less variety. The declared range is up to 500 kilometers, and the starting price can be around 25 euros.
Nissan's compromises in the development of new models can be explained. Operating profit falls, factories are forced to cut staff and reduce production volumes. To stay afloat, Nissan is selling 10 percent of the shares of its alliance partner, Mitsubishi Motors.
