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.

Four people can travel with a good level of comfort, given that the automaker decided to reduce the trunk space, leaving it with only 107 liters.
Nissan Sakura Comes with Cutting-Edge Technologies
Although it has only been confirmed in Japan, the Sakura should be a strong competitor if we focus on the Chinese market, which has been investing in this type of urban electric car for some time, such as the new Chery QQ and the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV.
In addition to being compact and agile, the Nissan Sakura is very well-equipped and will come standard with a semi-autonomous parking system known as ProPilot, which promises to be the most advanced on the market and the first to be installed in an entry-level model.
Nissan has made its model well-connected, featuring a beautiful 9-inch multimedia center that includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mirroring, a recovery system, induction charging, and high resolution, as well as the Nissan Connect vehicle assistance service. The Nissan Sakura will initially be sold in Japan for a price equivalent to R$ 67,000.
Small Electric Cars Gain Popularity in Asian Markets
Like Japan, China is also one of the largest markets for mini electric cars, and recently, Jemmell New Energy announced that it is about to launch its new electric car called Uni Mini EV.
This model has a range of up to 200 km and will be the newest rival to the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, which is currently the sales leader in China.
The Uni Mini EV is a three-door model capable of transporting up to four occupants. The mini electric car offers two trim levels, with prices that can reach approximately R$ 27,900 and R$ 35,800.
