The Nissan Sakura (Japanese: 日産・サクラ) is a battery electric kei car marketed by Nissan and produced by NMKV. Named after the national flower of Japan, it was introduced on 20 May 2022 as the first battery electric kei car from Nissan. It is developed and manufactured alongside the Mitsubishi eK X EV, which shares the same body with the petrol-powered eK X.[2] Its design was previewed by the IMk concept which was showcased in 2019.[3]
The vehicle is powered by a single electric motor with a maximum output of 47 kW (63 hp; 64 PS) and a maximum torque of 195 N⋅m (20 kg⋅m; 144 lb⋅ft) with a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph). The battery storage uses a 20 kWh lithium-ion unit with an estimated WLTC range of 180 km (110 mi). Grade levels available are S, X and G and has been sold in Japan since mid-2022.[4][5][6]
In December 2022, the Sakura alongside the Mitsubishi eK X EV was awarded as the 2022–2023 Japan Car of the Year.[7]
