Nissan unveils compact Pixo electric car for European cities with 259km range

Nissan has revealed a brand new small electric vehicle called the Pixo, built specifically to target city drivers across Europe. This tiny battery car is a joint project between Nissan Design Europe and its partner Renault, and production will take place at the Renault plant located in Novo Mesto, Slovenia.

Design and Dimensions

The car features square shapes inspired by cubes, along with light setups that look like pixels and a front bumper designed to resemble a robot face. On the 18-inch wheels and tailgate, you will find pixel-style design notes, while hidden markings reading '2-3' spell out the Japanese word for the brand when translated. Buyers can pick from bright paint choices like Wonder Purple and Gear Blue, paired with dark trim parts. Measuring 3,796 millimetres in length and 1,790 millimetres in width, the vehicle is built to navigate tight European streets easily while offering a turning circle of just 9.9 metres.

Interior and Technology

Inside, the cabin fits four adults on dual-tone cloth seats, and the back seats can slide forward or backward to adjust storage room. The boot holds up to 356 litres of luggage space, though the charging cable takes up 50 litres of that total. The dashboard is stacked vertically with orange highlights near the air vents, physical dials for the climate control, a 7-inch digital screen for the driver, and a 10-inch touchscreen in the middle. Tech additions include Google Gemini language support across 16 dialects, built-in Google services, a mobile app, and a Face ID system that recalls individual driver profiles. Safety features cover advanced driver assistance tools like lane-departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, and hands-free parking capability.

Power and Charging

Energy comes from a 27.5kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack connected to a single electric motor that pushes out 82 horsepower. The company reports a driving range of up to 259 kilometres on a single charge under testing rules, though performance and torque data remain unreleased. The car takes fast DC charging up to 50 kilowatts, boosting the battery level from 15 to 80 percent in roughly 28 minutes, and also accepts 11 kilowatt AC charging. Pricing details are still unannounced, but customer handovers across Europe are set to begin early in 2027.
