Nissan Pixo returns as restyled Renault-based EV
Offering a range of 259km, the second generation Pixo is not expected to form part of Nissan South Africa's product portfolio anytime soon.
The Nissan Pixo is making a return as a restyled electric vehicle, based on Renault's reimagined all-electric Twingo. This is Nissan's most affordable electric vehicle in Europe, outperforming even the Micra. Unlike its predecessor, the Pixo features a unique exterior design with curved headlights, a more concave bonnet, and a distinctive 7-shaped LED daytime running lights, among other changes.
Under the hood, the Pixo has been equipped with a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, utilizing the same 27.5-kWh battery as the Twingo. This powertrain drives a single electric motor capable of producing 60kW/175Nm of torque, resulting in a top speed of 130km/h, a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 12.1 seconds, and an all-electric range of 259km.
While not currently available in South Africa, it is set to launch in December, priced around €20,000 (R373,093), which is nearly €5,000 (R93,273) less than the more powerful Volkswagen ID. Polo.
