Nissan has just launched its new electric car, Nissan Sakura, which features state-of-the-art technologies and an attractive price.
Nissan decided to expand its line of electric cars with the arrival of the Sakura, a zero-emissions urban electric car that could gain a lot of fame in its launch market, in Japan, because its estimated price is BRL 67 and it has a great set of equipment. The Nissan Sakura will be the Japanese automaker's entry-level electric model, which is expected to invest in more popular electric cars, as well as its rival, Honda, which entered into a partnership with General Motors recently with the same objective. And this is clear not only by the price, but by what the vehicle offers.
Nissan's new electric car can reach 120 km/h
With regard to performance, the Nissan Sakura has an engine that can deliver 63 horsepower and 19,9 kgf/m of torque, which should offer greater agility in urban traffic, with interesting sprints. The electric car weighs just over 1 kilograms and can reach a top speed of 120 km/h.
In terms of autonomy, the Nissan Sakura does not lag behind its competitors and can travel up to 180 km on a single charge, managed by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 20 kWh. This cell can even be used in homes as a form of giant domestic powerbank.
Although small, the electric car is sufficient for a family planning short commutes. The model is 3,39 meters long, 1,65 meters high and 1,47 meters wide, with a wheelbase of 2,79 meters. Four people travel with a good level of comfort, considering that the automaker decided to reduce the trunk, leaving it with only 107 liters.
Nissan Sakura features state-of-the-art technologies
Despite having been confirmed only in Japan, Sakura should be a good competitor if we focus on the Chinese market, which has been betting on this type of urban electric car for some time, like 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 feature, as standard, a semi-autonomous parking system known as ProPilot, which promises to be the most advanced on the market and the first to be installed on an entry-level model.
Nissan left its model well connected, with a beautiful 9-inch multimedia center that features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless mirroring, recovery system, induction charging and high resolution and also Nissan Connect vehicle assistance. The Nissan Sakura will initially be sold in Japan for a value equivalent to R$ 67.
Small electric cars gain fame in Asian markets
Like Japan, China is also one of the markets that sell the most mini electric cars and recently, Jemmell New Energy announced that it is about to launch its new electric car called the Uni Mini EV.
The model has a range of up to 200 km and will be the newest rival of the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, which is currently the sales leader in China.
