Nissan unveils PIXO, a compact electric city car for Europe
Nissan has announced a new compact electric city car, the PIXO, designed for urban driving in Europe. The car uses a 27.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, offers up to 161 miles of WLTP range, and includes fast charging as standard. It debuts with a focus on practicality in crowded city streets and will go on sale in early 2027.
What’s new about the PIXO
The PIXO is Nissan’s new A-segment electric car built specifically for European cities. It uses a 27.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and delivers up to 161 miles of WLTP range. All versions come with 50 kW DC fast charging as standard, enabling an 15%–80% charge in about 28 minutes. An optional 11 kW AC charger is also offered. The car measures about 3.8 meters long and is designed for easy parking and tight turns in urban areas, with a turning circle of 9.9 meters.
Key specifications in plain language
Battery: 27.5 kWh, lithium iron phosphate (LFP). Range: up to 161 miles under WLTP testing, which estimates typical daily use in Europe. Charging: standard 50 kW DC fast charging (quick top-ups), plus 11 kW alternating current (AC) option for home or workplace charging. Size: compact footprint intended for city driving; boot space with seats up is 356 litres, expanding to 1,221 litres with the rear seats folded. Powertrain: 60 kW of electric output, all four seats intended for urban travel rather than long highway trips.
Who will be affected or likely to buy
The PIXO targets urban drivers in Europe who need a small, easy-to-park electric car for daily commuting, errands, and short trips. It is likely to appeal to city residents, car-sharing fleets looking for compact EVs, and buyers seeking a first electric vehicle with a focus on practicality and low running costs. The model’s introduction in early 2027 means potential buyers may start planning purchases or leases in late 2026.
Practical next steps for readers
If you’re considering an electric city car, compare the PIXO’s price, warranty, and charging options with similar small EVs. Check whether your typical trips fit within the vehicle’s stated WLTP range and whether the 50 kW charging speed meets your daily charging needs. Consider where you would install the optional 11 kW charger and how the car’s boot space suits your luggage or groceries. Look for updates on official Nissan announcements about pricing and exact trim levels as 2027 approaches.
Limits and questions to watch
The news relies on one supplier article describing the PIXO. Details such as final market price, available trims, and long-term reliability will come from official Nissan disclosures. The WLTP range can vary with driving style, climate control use, and terrain. Battery choice (LFP) can influence longevity and performance at temperature extremes, which buyers may want to investigate as more data becomes available.
