Nissan is developing a new all-electric car based on the Renault Twingo

Nissan recently announced that it intends to develop a new car based on the Renault Twingo. It will be an all-electric car, and the information was shared during a call with investors.

The new car will be from the A-segment and will share 80% with the new Twingo. The collaboration between Nissan and Renault will accelerate the development of the car and meet the plan for its launch in 2026.

Nissan will be free from financial obligations under the Ampera project, which plans to replace nickel-magnesium-cobalt batteries with lithium-iron-phosphate batteries to reduce costs and increase range, despite the fact that NMC is more energy-dense. Charging from 10 to 80 percent of capacity is planned for 15 minutes. However, it is currently unknown whether Nissan’s upcoming entry-level electric model will use this technology.

The Ampera project will also allow for a reduction in the development time of the Twingo, from 21 to 16 months. This should also result in lower costs of goods, which would be 40 percent lower than the Renault 5. Although this does not directly apply to prices, it can be assumed that Nissan will choose a price of around 20,000 euros.

When it comes to the powertrain, there is no data for now, and some information suggests that the Twingo could use a 40 kWh battery and a 120 hp engine, like the Renault R5.
