Tokyo 2009: Compact Nissan Roox to debut
Nissan will officially launch the Nissan Roox compact car at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show. The Roox will join other vehicles like the Nissan Land Glider Concept and the Nissan NV200 Vanette Taxi at the show. It measures 3,395mm long, 1,475mm wide, 1,735 m high and has a wheelbase of 2,400mm long which is only about 1cm longer than a Viva’s wheelbase so you have an idea of the size of this car. Interior length is rated at 2,085mm while width is figured at 1,365mm.
Unfortunately the Japanese auto maker did not disclose information pertaining to the drivetrain but did say that the Roox “ranks as the most spacious in its class”. It’s quite clear what the focus is here – a sufficiently big box to move around in. It’s probably going to get a 660cc engine since it looks like a Japanese K-car.
Apart from a drink cooler fitted inside the upper glove box, a storage box under the passenger seat for items like children’s toys and dirty shoes, dual airbags and front SRS side airbags and foldable rear seats, the Roox also has double sliding rear doors that can also be opened remotely with a ‘keyfob’. Nissan will present a “Highway Edition” version at the event. More information to be revealed soon.

I don’t think Malasyian will regard this box car is ‘a good looking car’..might be different perception for Japanese gals and guys..

When you need to fit into the Kei category to escape high tax and insurance and parking regulations, yet maximize passenger room, this is what you get. So can’t complain much as this is to fulfill local market demand.

Rasanya praktikal gak idea nie utk Kcar sebab pintu belakang pakai sliding. So rasa kalau nak masukkan barang pun senang. Nampak cam kotak tapi rasa lagi praktikal dari viva walau luaran tak cantik. Sesuai untuk mommy taxi…. hehehe….

Juara is a Mitsubishi Town-box in Japan…
Those boxy car are actually quite famous in Japan, as boxy car have proven to have more space in it and look more spacious. Try went in a Alphad and go into Estima, i can gurantee u will felt Alphad have more space… The most space i have seen is Elgrand.. Damn it huge…

A mini mini bus?
October 13, 2009 @ 9:34 pm
this car wont sell here in malaysia, we are too exterior conscious.
but for the japanese, they care more for practicality and purpose rather than looks. so they get more variety and nicer cars.

I dont know why Malaysians think these boxy cars are ugly, but i think the most ugliest k-car we can find in malaysia is the Viva.
October 14, 2009 @ 7:43 am
Looks more like Kenari ver 2 reborn…
October 14, 2009 @ 8:24 am
