Nissan PIXO: The cousin of the electric Twingo aims to lower the bill

The new Nissan PIXO electric will be unveiled on September 23, 2026. Manufactured in Europe and related to the Renault Twingo, this city car promises more affordable access to the manufacturer’s electric range.
The battle of small electric cars welcomes a new contender. Nissan announces the return of the PIXO, a name that was already used for a city car marketed since 2009. This time, it’s fully electric, with an official presentation scheduled for September 23, 2026.
Unveiled by its name on the occasion of World Electric Vehicle Day, the new Nissan PIXO marks the manufacturer’s return to the European A segment. Its mission: to facilitate urban mobility and offer a more accessible entry point into its electric range.
A cousin of the Renault Twingo electric
This little Nissan does not start from scratch. As early as March 2025, Renault Group and Nissan announced a project for an electric city car derived from the Twingo, developed and produced by Ampere for the Japanese brand. This cooperation allows for shared investments, essential for offering a affordably priced car.
Nissan confirms assembly in Europe, a compact size, and intuitive technologies. The first teaser, featuring its pixelated smile on a purple background, suggests a cheerful personality. However, the body design remains to be revealed.
What price and what range for the Nissan PIXO?
These are the two big unknowns. Nissan has not revealed any pricing yet, nor the battery capacity, power, or range. Therefore, it is impossible to automatically assign the characteristics of the electric Twingo to it.
There is similar caution regarding a possible price below 20,000 euros: the promise of accessibility does not amount to confirmation.
The meeting on September 23 will provide more information. To attract drivers, the PIXO will need to combine personality, suitable everyday range, and convincing pricing. In the market for electric city cars, it is indeed the latter factor that could make the difference.
