Nissan Sakura

The Nissan Sakura is a battery electric kei car that Nissan markets in Japan and that NMKV produces, introduced on 20 May 2022 as Nissan's first battery electric kei car. It is named after the national flower of Japan and was previewed by the IMk concept shown at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. It is developed and built alongside the Mitsubishi eK X EV, with which it shares its body structure and only a few external parts, and it is assembled at the Mitsubishi Mizushima Plant. A single electric motor gives 47 kW and 195 newton metres and a top speed of 130 km/h, and a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery gives an estimated WLTC range of 180 km, in S, X and G grades. It won the 2022 Good Design Award and, with the eK X EV, the 2022-2023 Japan Car of the Year.
