Nissan MarchDesigner Yoshiro Kobata The Nissan Be-1 is a retro-styled automobile from Nissan Motors. The Be-1 was the first of four such retro spinoffs of the K10 Micra — the S-Cargo, Figaro and Pao being the other three. Like the Figaro, the Be-1 was sold without the Nissan name. It was designed as a fashionable city car requiring just 4.4 m (14.4 ft) to turn around and delivering up to 48 mpg (4.9 L/100 km) in the city and 74 mpg (3.2 L/100 km) at a steady 60 km/h (37 mph).
Name
According to the article on Japanese Wikipedia, the name is a coined phrase meaning "to be one", or "being one".
