The Sakura is powered by a 47 kW (64 hp) motor producing 195 Nm of torque. With a weight of around 1,070 kg, it offers a WLTC range of 180 km thanks to a 20 kWh battery.
Charging from 0 to 80% on a DC station takes around 40 minutes, while a full charge from a household socket takes up to 8 hours.
The Sakura offers modern technologies such as the ProPILOT system, e-Pedal, a digital cluster and an infotainment screen. The interior is spacious and functional despite the compact dimensions.
The Sakura was the best-selling EV in Japan in 2023, with a 42% market share and 37,140 units sold.
Competition, however, is growing: Hyundai has introduced the cheaper Inster model, and BYD plans to enter with its own kei EV in 2026.
The Sakura is an ideal choice for urban users who need an economical, ecological and agile car. Thanks to its compact size, range and modern technologies, it performs well in densely built urban areas.
