Nissan has unveiled its first fully-electric Kei car, Sakura. The all-new Nissan Sakura is a mini electric vehicle - also known as the production version of the Ink Concept showcased at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. Following its physical debut at Nissan's Global HQ in Japan, the company unveiled it virtually in the metaverse as well.


Currently, the Sakura is on display and open for viewing at the virtual Nissan Crossing and virtual test drives for the same are available for public.
