Nissan Design Europe reveals celebration concept that hints at Micra replacement
Beneath the racy facade, the 20-23 gives the best look yet at Nissan’s electric replacement for the Micra, due to enter production in 2026 atop the CMF-BEV platform that Alliance partner Renault is using for its own 5 supermini and Alpine A290 hot hatchback.
The interior of the concept is far less obviously related to anything that will reach showrooms, being designed as a “futuristic interpretation of a racing car’s bare functionality”. The driver and passenger must climb over foam-covered brace bars to access their deep bucket seats and, in place of a steering wheel, the driver grips a yoke-style device hosting an array of switches and buttons, with paddles located behind it to adjust the performance of the electric motors and regenerative brakes.
Intriguingly, the sporting focus of the 20-23 concept suggests there is potential for a performance version of Nissan’s supermini, much as the Alpine A290 will serve as the hot sibling of the Renault 5. Nissan has already spoken of its intention to resurrect the dormant Nismo performance brand for the electric age, likely spearheaded by a sporting version of the Ariya crossover.
