Recently, Nissan made the announcement that the all-electric Sakura mini-vehicle has been awarded the title of 2022-2023 Japan Car of the Year. Nissan has now triumphed in this competition a total of six times. The Nissan Sakura was also the winner of the Kei Car of the Year award, which is an honour bestowed solely upon vehicles in the mini-vehicle category. In addition, the X-Trail sport utility vehicle took home the award for Technology Car of the Year.
As an entry-level electric vehicle (EV) in the mini-vehicle market, the Sakura provides features that are advantageous in terms of cost.
Additionally, it received high marks for its daily driving range of up to 150 kilometres with a cruising speed of 120 kilometres. Additionally deserving of the award was its high level of handling stability as well as its cabin’s low level of noise.
Nissan Sakura is the best mini-vehicles
The Nissan Sakura is an electric vehicle (EV), and as such, it possesses the instantaneous power, silky smoothness, and quietness that are characteristic of EVs.
The rapid and consistent acceleration offered by the Sakura, which comes courtesy of its cutting-edge control technology and its motor that generates 47 kW and 195 Nm of torque, makes it a breeze to merge onto highways.
The technology that Nissan has developed over the course of more than a decade in the course of its development of the LEAF has enabled the Sakura to have the highest level of cabin quietness that can be found in the class of mini-vehicles.
