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.

    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…

    Strictly for Japanese, even Proton designers will not consider such designs.

  • 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.

    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

    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)

    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…

    There are dozens of different game types and hundreds of sub-genres.
    I personally find it interesting, but check it out for
    yourself. Nevertheless, this quirky bird game would make for
    absorbing gameplay with its battalion of diversely armed birds.
