Will the Nissan Sakura ever go on sale in the UK?

Unfortunately, Nissan does not currently have any plans to bring the Sakura to the UK in any capacity. While it's technically possible to build it here, higher manufacturing costs and the need to meet more stringent safety regulations would probably mean it couldn't be built and sold profitably here. Never say never, though...

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
