Nissan Pixo: New electric microcar starts at 19,990 euros
Nissan originally planned to announce the prices of the new Pixo only in December — that was stated on the website then and still is. It seems they have changed their mind and are now revealing the prices and some of the features. The starting price is 19,990 euros, making it exactly as costly as the technically identical Renault Twingo Electric.
There is no price list available yet, nor can the model be configured at the moment, but according to Nissan, orders are already being accepted. The electric city car was introduced in September. It shares the RGEV Small platform with the Renault Twingo Electric and the new Dacia Spring. It will be manufactured alongside the Renault model in the Slovenian city of Novo Mesto. Deliveries are set to begin in early 2027.

Exterior
The appearance of the newcomer is noticeably different, especially at the front, compared to the Twingo. While Renault imitates the rounded look of the original Twingo, Nissan’s lighting design on the driver’s side resembles the number "7".

Another feature are Easter Eggs with the sequence "23" – a reference to the brand name, as "Ni" in Japanese means 2 and "San" means 3. The color palette also differs: Nissan offers shades such as violet and blue, while the Renault comes in yellow, green, red, and black. However, there are clear similarities between the two models on the sides and at the rear:

Powertrain and battery
Like the Twingo and the Spring, the Pixo also features a 60-kW motor. In the case of Renault, it is a permanent magnet synchronous motor from a Chinese supplier. The battery stores 27.5 kWh in the Pixo as well, and its WLTP range of 259 km is also very similar.

Like the electric Twingo, the Pixo also offers one-pedal driving, individually adjustable rear seats, and integrated Google services including Google Gemini. The artificial intelligence learns over time the preferences of the driver to create a more personalized experience in the vehicle.
The standard equipment includes features such as a distance control cruise control that can follow traffic flow to a stop and restart, a lane keeping assist, a parking assist, and more.
Prices and Trims

From 2009 to 2013, a Nissan Pixo was already offered in Germany; it was a 3.57-meter-long internal combustion engine model that was identical to the Suzuki Alto. Now the model is returning as an electric vehicle.

Two years ago, Nissan announced a derivative of the Renault Twingo Electric. Nissan recently announced that the world premiere will take place on September 23rd.

In summary
Applying different designs to a single platform: Many automakers have become experts at this. The partnership between Renault and Nissan yields another example after the Nissan Micra based on the Renault 5: the Nissan Pixo Electric. Its technology is practically identical to that of the Renault Twingo Electric, but in terms of appearance, Nissan diverges significantly from its sibling model at the front, while the rear remains similar. There are hardly any traces of inspiration from the historic Pixo. This isn’t a drawback, as the original Pixo wasn’t very attractive.
