Small Electric Car: Old Familiar Provides Basis for the New Nissan Pixo
Nissan is reviving a second classic model after the Micra, reintroducing the Pixo as an electric city car. However, the tiny car is not entirely new: it is based on the Renault Twingo.
Cologne - Nissan has resurrected the Pixo, a small electric car after a ten-year hiatus, to bolster its lower-end electric vehicle lineup. The vehicle is set to be ordered starting in December and delivered from early 2027, Nissan announced. Pricing details are yet to be disclosed, but the Pixo is expected to be cheaper than the Micra, which currently starts at 27,990 Euros.
Nissan credits the Pixo as a specially designed new development for European urban traffic, but relies on Renault's Alliance partner and adapts the Twingo as its base. The slightly modified Twingo measures 3.80 meters long, has four doors and can seat four people with a storage capacity of 356 to 1,221 liters. Instead of disclosing the vehicle's performance, Nissan highlights its agility in urban driving, boasting a 9.90-meter turning radius.
For city traffic, the battery is optimized, providing a capacity of nearly 28 kWh and a range of 259 standard kilometers. Charging can be done with alternating current at 11 kW and direct current up to 50 kW.
