Sucessor do Nissan Micra anunciado como EV projetado pela Renault
A geração atual do Nissan Micra existe desde 2017, mas provavelmente é seguro dizer que não foi um grande vendedor para a marca japonesa até agora, com menos de 40.000 exemplares entregues na Europa no ano passado. Em novembro de 2020, o modelo foi atualizado e perdeu a opção de motor diesel. Parece que sua substituição perderá completamente os motores de combustão.
A Nissan acaba de lançar a primeira imagem teaser retratando o sucessor do Micra e a julgar pelas informações disponíveis até agora, parece que este novo modelo poderá receber um novo nome. A montadora não está pronta para anunciar o apelido, embora diga que o novo carro compacto estará disponível como uma máquina elétrica pura no mercado europeu.
O sucessor do Micra manterá sua posição como modelo básico da Nissan e será projetado por designers da marca japonesa. No entanto, a Renault será responsável pela engenharia e produção do carro, que será baseado na plataforma CMF B-EV. O novo EV compacto faz parte do roteiro de 2030 da Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance, que inclui nada menos que 35 novos veículos elétricos até 2030 com base em cinco arquiteturas comuns.
“Este é um ótimo exemplo da abordagem de 'diferenciação inteligente' da Aliança. Sucedendo ao nosso icónico Micra, tenho a certeza que este novo modelo irá proporcionar mais entusiasmo aos nossos clientes na Europa”, comenta Ashwani Gupta, COO da Nissan.
A única imagem de teaser disponível até agora revela um carro pequeno de aparência fofa com grandes luzes diurnas de LED redondas na frente. Quase parece um Mini excessivamente agressivo, embora, obviamente, seja muito cedo para dar nossa conclusão final, dada a pouca informação que temos até agora.
O novo hatchback de emissões zero será produzido pela Renault em sua fábrica ElectriCity na França. Ele se juntará a outros produtos da Nissan que estão sendo montados lá, incluindo a pequena van Townstar totalmente elétrica. A Nissan promete divulgar mais detalhes, incluindo nomes, cronograma de lançamento e detalhes técnicos, “no devido tempo”.
NISSAN LANÇA NOVO EV COMPACTO PARA SUBSTITUIR MICRA NOS MERCADOS EUROPEUS
NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD. (SEDE: NISHI-KU, YOKOHAMA CITY, PREFEITURA DE KANAGAWA, PRESIDENTE: MAKOTO UCHIDA, A PARTIR DE AGORA A NISSAN) ANUNCIOU QUE LANÇARÁ UM NOVO EV COMPACTO NO MERCADO EUROPEU. O MODELO SUBSTITUIRÁ O POPULAR CARRO DE ENTRADA DA NISSAN, O MICRA, E SERÁ PRODUZIDO NO ELECTRI CITY CENTER, DA RENAULT, NA FRANÇA.
Sob a visão ambição 2030, a Europa desempenha um papel importante na eletrificação da Nissan. Neste mercado, os EVs crossover Aria e todos os novos crossover estão programados para serem lançados, e o próprio e-POWER da Nissan será instalado nos novos Qashqai e X-TRAIL.
O NOVO EV COMPACTO FORTALECERÁ AINDA MAIS A LINHA DE VEÍCULOS ELÉTRICOS NO FUTURO. CONFORME EXPLICADO NO ROTEIRO DA ALIANÇA PARA 2030 ANUNCIADO HOJE, A RENAULT SERÁ RESPONSÁVEL PELO PROJETO, DESENVOLVIMENTO E PRODUÇÃO DA PLATAFORMA ALIANÇA CMF B-EV. DESTA VEZ, MOSTRAMOS UMA PARTE DO DESIGN, MAS CADA EMPRESA PODE REALIZAR SEU PRÓPRIO ESTILO PARA CADA MODELO AO ADOTAR ESSA PLATAFORMA COMUM.
Ashwani Gupta, diretor de operações da Nissan, disse: "Este novo modelo adotará uma nova plataforma comum, projetada pela Nissan e desenvolvida e produzida pela Renault para aproveitar ao máximo os ativos da aliança, ao mesmo tempo em que entrega produtos cheios de semelhança com a Nissan. Este é um bom exemplo da Diferenciação Inteligente da Aliança. O novo modelo, que substituirá o popular Micra, proporcionará ainda mais emoção aos clientes europeus."
O novo EV compacto foi anunciado hoje como parte da Alliance 2030, um roteiro comum focado em EVs e mobilidade conectada pela Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Motors. Este modelo é um dos modelos da Nissan produzidos pela Renault na França, incluindo o novo Townstar, o sucessor do e-NV200.

Paris, Tokyo, Yokohama – January 27th, 2022 - Renault Group, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, the members of one of the world’s leading automotive alliances, today announced common projects and actions to accelerate and to shape their shared future towards 2030, focusing on the mobility value chain.
A year and a half after announcing its new cooperation business model to support member-company competitiveness and profitability, the Alliance is now based on solid foundations, benefits from an efficient operational governance organization and from intensified as well as flexible cooperation.
Continuing the Leader-Follower scheme defined in May 2020, select technology is developed by one leading team with the support of the followers, thereby allowing each member of the Alliance to access all the key technologies.
The Alliance has defined a common 2030 roadmap on pure-EV and Intelligent & Connected mobility, sharing investments for the benefits of its three-member companies and their customers.
“Among the world's automotive leaders, the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance is a proven, unique model. For 22 years, we have been building on our respective cultures and strengths for our common benefit,” said Jean-Dominique Senard, Chairman of the Alliance. “Today the Alliance is accelerating to lead the mobility revolution and deliver more value to customers, our people, our shareholders and all our stakeholders. The three member-companies have defined a common roadmap towards 2030, sharing investments in future electrification and connectivity projects. These are massive investments that none of the three companies could make alone. Together, we are making the difference for a new and global sustainable future; the Alliance becoming carbon neutral by 2050.”
Moving together for the benefit of each – Leader-Follower scheme |
The Alliance members have developed a “smart differentiation” methodology that defines the desired level of commonality for each vehicle, integrating several parameters of possible pooling, such as platforms, production plants, powertrains or vehicle segment. This is supplemented and enhanced by a stricter approach to design and upper-body differentiation. For example, the common platform for the C and D segment will carry five models from three brands of the Alliance (Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail, Mitsubishi Outlander, Renault Austral and an upcoming seven-seater SUV).
Strengthening this process, the Alliance members will enhance usage of common platforms in the coming years from 60% today to more than 80% of its combined 90 models in 2026. This will allow each company to deepen their focus on their customers’ needs, their best models and core markets, while also extending innovations across the Alliance, at a lower cost.
As part of this, Mitsubishi Motors will reinforce its presence in Europe with two new models, among them the New ASX based on Renault best-sellers.
Five common EV platforms: the largest global offer of the industry |
Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi have pioneered the EV market, with more than 10 B€ already invested in the field of electrification. In the main markets (Europe, Japan, the US, China) 15 Alliance plants already produce parts, motors, batteries for 10 EV models on the streets, with more than 1 million EV cars sold so far and 30 billion e-kilometers driven.
Building on this unique expertise, the Alliance is accelerating with a total 23 B€ more investment in the next five years on electrification, leading to 35 new EV models by 2030.
90% of these models will be based on five common EV platforms, covering most markets, in all major regions:
- CMF-AEV, the most affordable platform in the world, is the base for the new Dacia Spring.
- KEI-EV (mini vehicle) platform family for ultra-compact EVs.
- LCV-EV Family platform family for professional customers, as the base for the Renault Kangoo and Nissan Town Star.
- CMF-EV, the global, flexible, EV platform. It will be on the roads in a few weeks as the base for the Nissan Ariya EV crossover and Renault Megane E-Tech Electric. The CMF-EV platform, with its technological innovations and the potential offered by its modularity, is a benchmark platform for a new generation of electric vehicles for the Alliance partners. The platform has been created to integrate and optimize all the elements specific to a 100% electric powertrain, hosting a new, high-performance motor and an ultra-thin battery. By 2030, more than 15 models will be based on the CMF-EV platform, with up to 1.5 million cars produced on this platform per year.
- CMF-BEV, the most competitive compact electric platform in the world, to be launched in 2024. It provides up to 400 km range; its aerodynamics performances are outstanding, helping reduce cost by 33% and power consumption by more than 10% compared to the current Renault ZOE. It will be the base for 250,000 vehicles a year under the Renault, Alpine and Nissan brands. Among the vehicles are the Renault R5 and the new compact EV that will replace the Nissan Micra. Designed by Nissan and engineered by Renault, the new model is planned to be manufactured at Renault ElectriCity: the electric industrial center in Northern France.
Common battery strategy, breakthrough battery innovations and a planned 220 GWh production capacity to bring a highly competitive and attractive offer to all customers |
Competitiveness is key, and that has led member companies to a common Alliance battery strategy, leading, among others, to the selection of a common battery supplier for Renault and Nissan in core markets.
The Alliance is working with common partners to achieve real scale and affordability, enabling to reduce battery costs by 50% in 2026 and 65% by 2028.
With this approach, by 2030, the Alliance will have a total of 220 GWh battery production capacity for EVs across key production sites in the world.
Beyond that, the Alliance shares a common vision for all-solid-state battery technology (ASSB). Based on its deep expertise and unique experience as a pioneer in battery technology, Nissan will lead innovations in this area that will benefit all Alliance members.
ASSB will have double the energy density versus current liquid lithium-ion batteries. Charging time will also be greatly reduced to one-third, enabling customers to make longer trips with increased, convenience, confidence and enjoyment.
The aim is to mass produce ASSB by mid-2028, and in the future beyond that to realize cost parity with ICE vehicles by bringing costs down further to 65$ per kWh, accelerating the global shift to EVs.
The Alliance battery management system is also at state-of-the art. Unlike others in the industry, the Alliance has chosen to control 100% of its hardware and software, benefiting from very valuable predictive data, allowing for monitoring the state of health of the battery and improving technology.
The Alliance is working with strategic partners to offer the best proposal to customers for public charging on the road. Mobilize Power Solutions provides to B2B customers a complete end-to-end service including project design, installation, maintenance and management of optimized recharging infrastructure and all related services to meet their business needs.
A recent agreement is with Ionity via the Alliance Emobility Service Provider Plug Surfing, which will allow its customers to access at preferential pricing to the Ionity ultra-fast charging network in Europe.
With more than 10 years’ experience in the EV business, Alliance members have deep knowledge that allows them to be ahead of the competition in optimizing battery reuse, notably with second life battery applications, recycling and achieving efficient and sustainable solutions over the full battery life cycle.
25 Million cars connected to the Alliance Cloud by 2026: The best-in-class digital experience for customers |
