Nissan Has Just Launched Its New Electric Car, Nissan Sakura, Which Features Cutting-Edge Technologies and an Attractive Price.
Nissan has decided to expand its electric car lineup with the arrival of the Sakura, an urban zero-emission electric car that could gain significant popularity in its launch market, Japan, because its estimated price is R$ 67,000 and it offers a great set of equipment. The Nissan Sakura will be the entry-level electric model from the Japanese automaker, which plans to invest in more affordable electric cars, just like its rival, Honda, which recently formed a partnership with General Motors for the same purpose. This is evident not only in the price but also in what the vehicle offers.
Nissan’s New Electric Car Reaches Speeds of 120 km/h
Regarding performance, the Nissan Sakura has a motor that delivers 63 horsepower and 19.9 kgf/m of torque, which should provide greater agility in urban traffic, with impressive acceleration. The electric car weighs just over 1,000 kilograms and can reach a top speed of 120 km/h.
In terms of range, the Nissan Sakura is competitive with its rivals and can travel up to 180 km on a single charge, powered by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 20 kWh. This battery can even be used in homes as a giant domestic power bank.

The Nissan Sakura will initially be sold in Japan for a price equivalent to R$ 67,000.
