The Nissan Be-1 is a retro-styled three-door hatchbackmanufactured by Nissanfor model years 1987-1988, and originally marketed solely in Japan at their Nissan Cherry Stores.

Designed to be a fashionable city car, the Be-1 was originally marketed without Nissan branding, by reservation only and solely in Japan.

Because of its origins at Pike Factory, Nissan's special project group, the Be-1 — along with the Nissan Figaro,Paoand S-Cargo— are known as Nissan's "Pike cars."

In 2011, noted design critic Phil Patton, writing for the New York Times, called the Pike cars "the height of postmodernism"and "unabashedly retro, promiscuously combining elements of the Citroën 2CV,Renault 4, Mini [and]Fiat 500."
