History of the Nissan Pixo
The Suzuki-based Pixo
Between 2009 and 2013 Nissan sold the Suzuki Alto with its own badge as the Pixo. It was a small A-segment city car, the kind of model Nissan did not build itself, and it came from the same kind of OEM arrangement that produced the Kubistar and other alliance-based Nissans in Europe.
The electric Pixo
The name returned in 2026 on the Nissan Pixo EV, a version of the Renault Twingo E-Tech. That car is electric, in keeping with the switch of small European Nissans to battery power, and it shares its platform and body with the Renault rather than with a Suzuki.
