The Nissan Pixo is set to make a return as a small electric city car, sharing much of its technology with the new Renault Twingo. The latest collaboration between the two brands follows the Nissan Micra EV, which serves as Nissan’s counterpart to the popular Renault 5.
Nissan is due to unveil the new Pixo on 23 September. The teaser image released by the brand features dot-matrix-style graphics, hinting at a possible boxy design with an eighties-inspired feel. Nissan describes the new model as being “small in size, yet big in personality”, with a distinctive Nissan design. However, much like the new Dacia Spring, which also shares its underpinnings with the Twingo, some of the car’s key structural elements are expected to remain largely unchanged. These are likely to include the roofline, windows and wheelbase.
Nissan has confirmed that the Pixo will have around 80 per cent commonality with the Twingo, helping the new EV reach the market more quickly. As a result, it is expected to use the same 27.5kWh battery and 80bhp electric motor, potentially delivering a range of around 160 miles and a 0-62mph time of approximately 12 seconds. Charging is also likely to mirror the Twingo and Spring, with a maximum rate of 50kW allowing the battery to charge from 15 to 80 per cent in roughly 30 minutes.
With its official reveal coming towards the end of September, the Nissan Pixo is unlikely to reach UK showrooms until early 2027. Pricing is expected to start below £20,000, while eligibility for the Government’s Electric Car Grant could make the entry-level model even more affordable.
The Pixo will further expand Nissan’s UK electric vehicle line-up to four models, joining the Micra, Ariya and Leaf. An all-electric version of the Qashqai is reportedly no longer going ahead, although Nissan has confirmed that a bold new electric version of the smaller Juke SUV remains in development.

Shelbourne Motors Limited trading as Shelbourne Motors Portadown, Shelbourne Motors Nissan, Shelbourne Motors Newry, and Fleet4u is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Shelbourne Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase. Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
