All-New Nissan MICRA Named Small Car of the Year at Car Dealer Power Awards 2026

The All-New Nissan MICRA has won the prestigious Small Car of the Year award at Car Dealer Magazine's 2026 Power Awards..

The annual Car Dealer Power Awards recognise the manufacturers, suppliers and vehicles most valued by UK motor retailers, with thousands of automotive industry employees taking part in the survey each year.

In awarding the All-New Nissan MICRA the Small Car of the Year title, respondents highlighted its engaging driving experience, advanced technology and competitive pricing. Judges were particularly impressed by features including Google built-in and the MICRA's accessible entry price of £21,495, including the £1,500 Electric Car Grant.

Car Dealer Magazine is one of the UK's leading motor industry publications, and the Power Awards are now celebrating their 16th year of recognising excellence across the automotive sector.

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 the All-New Nissan MICRA has been recognised in this year's Car Dealer Power Awards, particularly as the awards are voted for by dealers themselves.

Customers Love MICRA

"We already know that customers love MICRA, and it's fantastic to hear that the people handing over the keys are just as impressed. We'd like to thank the team at Car Dealer Magazine, and everyone who took part in the survey, for awarding MICRA the title of Small Car of the Year 2026."

The All-New Nissan MICRA is available from Nissan retailers across the UK now. Prices start from £21,495 for the 40kWh version, while the longer-range 52kWh model is available from £23,245. Both prices include the applicable Electric Car Grant.
