Nissan Pixo shares its technical base and a significant part of its design with the Renault Twingo E-Tech. As InsideEVs reports, the Pixo received different front-end styling and taillights with a more angular light signature. At the same time, the body glazing and most of the model’s rear end replicate the Renault.

Charging and interior
The Nissan Pixo comes standard with an 11 kW AC charger and support for DC fast charging at up to 50 kW. According to Nissan, charging the battery from 10% to 80% will take 30 minutes. The base Dacia Spring supports 6.6 kW AC charging, while an 11 kW AC charger and 50 kW DC charging are available in an optional package. Renault Twingo equipment depends on the market.
All three models have five doors, four seats and a 2,492 mm wheelbase. The Pixo is 3,796 mm long, the Twingo is 3,789 mm, and the Spring is 3,850 mm. The Pixo also retains the Twingo’s independently sliding rear seats, which make it possible to choose between more passenger space and luggage room.
All three models will be produced in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. Nissan has not yet announced the Pixo’s price. For comparison, in Italy the Dacia Spring costs from €17,900, while the Renault Twingo starts at €19,500, excluding incentives and without the optional charging package.
