All-New Nissan Micra is awarded small car of the year

All-new MICRA has been handed the prestigious Small Car of the Year trophy in Car Dealer Magazine’s 2026 Power Awards.

The annual Car Dealer Power Awards recognise the manufacturers, suppliers and products that motor retailers value the most – surveying thousands of employees in the motor trade.

In nominating all-new MICRA, respondents highlighted its winning combination of fun driving experience, impressive levels of technology – including Google On-Board – and competitive list price of £21,495 (including £1,500 electric car grant).

Car Dealer Magazine is one of the UK’s biggest and most authoritative motor industry publications, while the Power Awards themselves are now in their 16th year.

James Baggott, Editor-in-Chief of Car Dealer Magazine said: “Dealers tell us they’re absolutely thrilled to see the return of the MICRA name to their showrooms. It’s a model that’s always had a big following here in the UK, and there’s plenty to recommend this new version too.

“It’s great fun to drive, has a practical and thoughtfully-designed interior, and gets plenty of fantastic tech – including a truly excellent Google-based infotainment system.

“Dealers also love the value it represents, with an affordable start price that means more customers than ever can get behind the wheel of an EV.”

James Taylor, Managing Director of Nissan Motor GB, said: ‘‘We couldn’t be happier that All-New MICRA has been recognised in this year’s Car Dealer Power Awards – not least because the awards are voted for by dealers themselves.

Customers love MICRA

“We already know that customers love MICRA, and it’s great to hear that those who get to hand over the keys are just as impressed. We’d like to thank the team at Car Dealer Magazine, and all those who took part in the survey, for giving MICRA the honours of Small Car of the Year 2026.”

All-New MICRA is available from Nissan dealers now, with prices starting from £21,495 for the 40kWh battery option, and £23,245 for longer-range 52kWh versions (both prices inclusive of electric car grant).
