The electric Nissan Pixo is now on sale in Germany from €19,990, making it the cheapest car in Nissan's European line-up. It has a 27.5kWh battery, a WLTP range of 259 km (161 miles) and 50 kW DC charging as standard, and the first deliveries are due in early 2027.
The Pixo is a four-seat city car, 3.8 metres long, designed at Nissan Design Europe in London and built by Renault at its Novo Mesto factory in Slovenia. It's a close relative of the new Renault Twingo, which also starts at €19,990 in Germany. The name comes back from the small petrol Pixo that Nissan sold in Europe from 2009 to 2013, but the two cars have nothing else in common.
Nissan Pixo prices and trims
There's one battery and one motor, so choosing a Pixo comes down to the trim. Nissan Germany's price list, dated 2 November, has three.
| Trim | German price | Key additions |
|---|---|---|
| Engage | €19,990 | 15-inch steel wheels, 10.1-inch screen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto |
| Advance | €21,290 | Google built-in with Gemini, sliding rear seat, rear camera, keyless entry |
| Evolve | €22,690 | 18-inch alloys, adaptive cruise with stop and go, active blind-spot assist |
(Prices correct at 4 November 2026. German list prices include 19% VAT and exclude delivery, which Nissan Germany charges at €1,190.)
Even the Engage isn't bare. It comes with automatic LED headlights, climate control, a 7-inch digital driver's display, cruise control, rear parking sensors, automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist. The Advance is the one most buyers will want, because it adds the features Nissan built the car's launch around: Google built-in with Google Maps and the Play Store, the Gemini voice assistant, face recognition that loads each driver's settings, and an EV route planner that plans charging stops. It also gets a six-speaker stereo and a rear bench that slides, folds 50:50 and reclines. The Evolve adds automatic parking, auto-folding mirrors, a rain sensor and paddles to control the regenerative braking, including one-pedal driving.
Heated front seats are a €300 option on the Advance and Evolve, and every colour except white costs €600. There's an 11 kW AC charger and a charging cable as standard on all three, plus a vehicle-to-load adapter at €213 if you want to power appliances from the car.
German buyers can also claim the government's new EV purchase subsidy. It pays €3,000 for an electric car, plus €500 per child for up to two children and more for lower incomes, up to €6,000 in total, for private buyers with a taxable household income below €80,000 (higher for families). A Pixo Engage costs €21,180 with delivery, so it comes down to €18,180 with the basic €3,000 payment and to €15,180 for households that get the full €6,000.
Range, charging and space
At 259 km (161 miles) WLTP, the Pixo is a city car first. Nissan quotes consumption of 12.4 to 12.6 kWh/100 km, so a full battery covers the official range on about 27 kWh. Its 60 kW (82 PS) motor gives 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in 11.9 seconds and a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph).
Charging is better than the price suggests. The LFP battery, Nissan's first in Europe, takes 50 kW from a DC charger, enough for 10-80% in 30 minutes or 15-80% in 28 minutes. On an 11 kW home or workplace charger, 10-100% takes 2 hours 35 minutes. Nissan covers the battery for eight years or 160,000 km.
The boot is the Pixo's strongest number. It holds 356 litres with the rear seats up, including a 50-litre space for the charging cables, and 1,221 litres with them folded. That's a lot of space for a car this short, and the 9.9-metre turning circle makes it easy to park. The trade-off is that it's strictly a four-seater.
The Pixo's closest rival is its Renault sister car. The Hyundai Inster costs more, from €24,650 in Germany for the 42kWh Select, but it goes further at 327 km (203 miles) WLTP.
What it means for UK and Irish buyers
Nissan hasn't announced UK or Irish prices yet. It says pricing, specifications and pre-orders for other markets will follow from December, with customer deliveries starting in early 2027. Any UK price you see before then is an estimate.
In the UK, the Electric Car Grant covers cars with a list price up to £37,000, worth £3,750 or £1,500 depending on how the government rates each model's manufacturing emissions. The Pixo should be well under the price limit, but Nissan hasn't said whether it qualifies, or for which amount. In Ireland, an electric car at this price would come in well under the €50,000 limit for the SEAI grant of up to €3,500, and electric cars get VRT relief until the end of 2028. We'll update this story when Nissan confirms prices and specifications for both markets.
