The Pixo is back, but this time it’s an all-electric city cruiser set to become Nissan’s most affordable EV starting under $25,000.

After discontinuing the budget city car in 2013, Nissan is reviving the Pixo name for its new entry-level EV.

The Pixo EV marks Nissan’s return to Europe’s minicar segment, which is seeing a surge of low-cost electric vehicles primarily driven by Chinese automakers like BYD and Leapmotor.

European legacy automakers, such as Volkswagen and Renault, are leading a counter-offensive, with new EVs like the ID. Polo and the Dacia Spring.

Nissan is the latest with plans to enter Europe’s growing electric A-segment market. Developed through its partnership with Renualt, the Pixo EV shares the same underpinnings as the Renault Twingo.

It uses a 27.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, the first LFP battery in a Nissan EV in Europe, providing a WLTP range of up to 259 km (161 miles).

Using a 50 kW DC fast charger, the Pixo EV’s battery can charge from 15% to 80% in about 28 minutes.

Nissan said the new Pixo EV is designed for “drivers looking for an accessible electric city car that combines compact dimensions, practical interior space, modern connectivity and everyday usability.”

Measuring 3,796 mm long, 1,790 mm wide, and 1,512 mm tall, with a 2,492 mm wheelbase, Nissan’s new Pixo EV is nearly identical in size to the Renault Twingo and Hyundai Inster.

Although it’s an entry-level model, the electric city car will be equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and e-Pedal technology.
