nissan pixo

 A new entry in the rapidly growing A-segment, the Nissan  Pixo is a diminutive five-door hatch that focuses on efficiency, low emissions, and most importantly, space. At just 140-in. long, the city car is more than a foot shorter than an Aveo5  and sports an wheelbase that is half a foot shorter, but comes within 3.7-in. and 1.8-in. of the Chevy's width and height, at 62-in. and 57-in., respectively. With its extra doors, seating for four, relatively generous luggage space, and an available four-speed automatic transmission (a manual is standard), unlike many micro cars Nissan says the Pixo is comfortable for longer trips.
However just because the Pixo is roomier than its competitors doesn't mean it's any less frugal -- burnishing the car's green credentials is an ultra-efficient, 1.0L three-cylinder engine under the hood, which makes just 64-hp but averages an impressive 61mpg on the European combined cycle, while emitting very little CO2. And even though the Pixo emphasizes lightweight construction to aid performance, Nissan isn't skimping on its safety features or creature comforts, either. With two trim levels available, base Visia models still include power steering and anti-lock brakes standard, while the upscale Acenta gains extras like keyless entry, power front windows, split folding rear seats, side airbags, and fog lamps. Air conditioning, stability control, and side-curtain airbags can be added as well.
Built by Suzuki at a factory in Delhi, India, the Pixo is based on the tiny Alto five-door, and will be backed by a comprehensive three-year warranty from Nissan. Though the automaker isn't ready to confirm cost, it says the Pixo will sport an "extremely accessible price" and be one of the best-value eco-cars in its class. Expect to see Nissan's newest A-segment car roaming the streets of European capitals beginning in spring 2009.
