Nissan ROOX “super space” minicar shown in Tokyo
Nissan has unveiled the ROOX which is a “super space” compact car at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show. The vehicle that will make its debut in Japan in December measures 3,395 mm long, 1,475 mm wide, 1,735 mm high and has a wheelbase that is figured at 2,400 mm. The 4-seater ROOX has an interior width measuring 1365 mm and an interior length that is 2085 mm long.
According to Nissan, “No matter where you sit, the ROOX’s design gives each passenger a sense of the great outdoors”. The seating arrangement in the vehicle can be altered to suit the number of occupants. The rear seat back can be flattened as well to create a large luggage space.
Along with rear sliding doors, it also features a remote-control door opening keyfob, a drink cooler inside the upper glove box, a storage box under the passenger seat, dual airbags and more. Nissan is still being tight-lipped about what is under to hood and has only released a single image. However we now have two live images of ROOX being presented at the motor show.
Look for more images after the jump.

errmm, how come Daihatsu or Kenari can be related with Nissan?
October 23, 2009 @ 7:37 pm
Another fridge on wheels.. Nice design, although impractical for us Malaysians who majority prefer sedan and sporty styling. But since the point of gravity for this car is quite high wonder how’s the handling around tight corners? Even the Viva feels like rolling over when negotiating tight bends…
October 23, 2009 @ 7:40 pm
Wow aerodynamically inefficient this one is. But kinda like it.
October 23, 2009 @ 8:00 pm
i wonder what the comments will be like if this comes from proton hmmm
October 23, 2009 @ 8:28 pm
Strictly for Japanese, even Proton designers will not consider such designs.
October 23, 2009 @ 9:27 pm
yeap, for japanese tastes only. the japanese consumers have learnt the ways of functionality over form which our local market have yet to understand or even comprehend.
October 23, 2009 @ 11:18 pm
malaysian will always not to appreciate and proud with their own products..

hmm…yea i get your point…but not all boxy cars are ugly and not all boxy cars are sleek…juara, i dont think it looks nice,the front is a bit odd and the back is like very weird [round lights at the bumper]…toyota bb is boxy but looks nice and sleek…so as this nissan roox
October 24, 2009 @ 2:58 am
for me,it very looks similiar with daihatsu tanto..
the different only rear passanger door
October 24, 2009 @ 6:14 am
i think boxy car is nice with less curve/cut… juara with lots of curve n cut… not nice
October 24, 2009 @ 6:19 am
i like driving juara (most importantly, i can afford it) and roomier feeling of boxy cars… but why must the design of boxy car ends like juara?… i like this roox design (but i dont know if i can afford it if it sell here in malaysia)
October 24, 2009 @ 7:34 pm
Juara seems to be a collector’s item for years now. Favorite among those who know about rare design…till today still got that charisma…cannot explain one…
October 24, 2009 @ 9:56 pm
I have I Nissan boxy car….very nice and fun driving….but Malaysian is too enthusiastic….prefer sporty car rather than functions. I satisfied with my car…very functional…design not bad….can sit 7 peoples….very economy…..just a lil bit expensive.
October 24, 2009 @ 9:58 pm
But I think roox design is bad…not stable….like kenari…too tall compare to its width…..

If it’s on sale in Malaysia…my name is in the booking list…
