Nissan Sakura S Cars
The Nissan Sakura S is a groundbreaking addition to the Australian urban mobility scene, marking Nissan’s entry into the kei car segment with an all-electric twist. Designed as a compact city commuter, the Sakura S perfectly suits Australia’s metropolitan areas, offering a practical and eco-friendly alternative for short daily trips.
With its ultra-compact dimensions—just 3.39 metres in length and 1.48 metres wide—the Nissan Sakura S is ideally sized for navigating tight inner-city streets and fitting into small parking spots, which are common challenges in busy Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne. Its small footprint enhances manoeuvrability in congested traffic while maintaining enough interior space for two adults and limited cargo.
Powered by an efficient 20 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Sakura S delivers a range of approximately 180 kilometres on a single charge under typical driving conditions. This makes it well-suited for Australia’s urban lifestyle where average daily travel distances often fall well below this figure. The car’s top speed is around 100 km/h, ideal for city driving and suburban cruising but not intended for extended highway use or high-speed freeway travel outside metro areas.
One key advantage of the Nissan Sakura S in Australia is its zero tailpipe emissions, supporting local efforts to reduce pollution levels in dense population zones. It also features regenerative braking to maximise energy efficiency during stop-start city driving common on Australian roads.
Despite its small size, the Sakura S offers modern safety features including airbags and electronic stability control—important considerations given varied road conditions across Australia from wet weather to uneven surfaces in some outer suburbs.
Overall, the Nissan Sakura S presents an innovative solution tailored to Australia's urban environment, providing affordable electric mobility with practical dimensions that accommodate local traffic and parking demands.
