The whole world knows that the Nissan Pixo is just a reworked and re-modelled version of the Suzuki alto which Suzuki sells in Europe. The Pixo is made in India by Suzuki for Nissan, for it to sell it in European markets on a contract basis. But, ever since the Volkswagen-Suzuki alliance, a lot of people have started raising questions about what would happen to the agreement between Nissan and Suzuki for the Pixo.
Volkswagen could force Suzuki to back out of and terminate the agreement with Nissan for the Pixo, since the Pixo directly competes with the Volkswagen Lupo in the markets where both the cars are sold.
If this happens, it will deal a major blow to the Nissan product lineup in Europe. So, Nissan will need some sort of a similar product from some other company to replace the Pixo or be sold under the Pixo nameplate. Nissan could consider partner Renault’s Twingo small car as a suitable replacement for the Pixo, since it has similar dimensions as that of the Pixo.
The below table compares both cars with one another and it can be noted that both the cars are quite similar.
