Nissan SAKURA – All colors & features, Unveil

New Nissan SAKURA ALL ELECTRIC MINIVEHICLE Interior Unveil
Powerful, smooth driving performance
The Sakura features the instant, smooth power and quietness that are the hallmarks of EVs. Equipped with advanced control technology and a motor producing 47 kW and 195 Nm of torque, the Sakura’s quick and steady acceleration makes merging on highways effortless. Meanwhile, the technology Nissan has cultivated through its development of the LEAF over more than a decade has enabled the Sakura to have the highest level1 of cabin quietness in the minivehicle class.

Three drive modes — Eco, Standard and Sport — provide optimal performance for different situations. Using e-Pedal Step, the driver can decelerate smoothly and steadily by easing off the accelerator pedal — an action that also charges the battery through regenerative braking. The Sakura’s speed can be modulated using just the accelerator pedal. This makes driving more enjoyable on city streets, where repeated acceleration and deceleration are necessary, and on snow-covered roads that require smooth deceleration.

In addition, the Sakura’s low center of gravity enhances stability and offers superior ride comfort over uneven road surfaces.

State-of-the-art e-powertrain

The Sakura is equipped with a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery that has a track record of performance and reliability in the LEAF. Thanks to the special stacking method of its cells, the battery is compact, allowing the Sakura to have a spacious interior. Yet it offers a range of up to 180 km (based on WLTC Japan cycle), making it perfect for daily use. The battery can also be used as a mobile power source during emergencies and provide a day’s worth of electricity to a home.

Interior
– The centerpiece of the Sakura’s cockpit is a 7-inch Advanced Drive Assist Display meter and a large 9-inch navigation display placed horizontally to allow viewing with minimal eye movement. The NissanConnect navigation system3 offers a range of features to enhance the Sakura’s driving experience, including route setting based on charging needs, an emergency SOS call service4 and Apple CarPlay5 wireless connectivity.
– The seats have a comfortable sofa design and are upholstered in luxurious fabric. Their horizontally positioned copper-colored trim3 gives the interior a modern look and a sense of roominess.
– The cup holders are designed to grip beverages to prevent wobbling. Ample storage space is available for daily needs. For example, the horizontal instrument panel center tray can hold a smartphone, a wallet and other small items.
– The twin-spoke steering wheel3 adds a sense of sportiness and the optional Premium Interior Package version comes leather-wrapped.
– Three interior colors are available: black, beige and blue grey.

Exterior
– The Sakura’s exterior design exudes sophistication and strength. Its front end and glowing badge epitomize Nissan’s next-generation vehicles. The elegant slim headlights with projector-type triple beams — a minivehicle first1 — increase nighttime safety. The G and X grades are also equipped with wide LED rear combination lamps3 whose appearance is inspired by the rear door’s latticework.
– The design of the aluminum wheels3 draws inspiration from the Japanese mizuhiki decorative knots that are commonly found on gift envelopes and packages. Embodying traditional Japanese aesthetics, this accent adds chicness to the Sakura.
– The charging port, located on the right-side back of the Sakura, lights up when the lid is opened to facilitate nighttime use.
– Fifteen body colors are available, including four two-tone options that evoke the seasons.
