It’s called the Dayz Roox, and it’s Nissan’s second model in its new Dayz minicar range. The tall wagon – which will be sold in standard and Highway Star forms – will be on display in Tokyo, and is slated for domestic introduction early next year.
It’s the second Nissan-Mitsubishi minicar offering from NMKV, a joint-venture company formed by both automakers in 2011 to develop minicars for the Japanese market. Earlier in the year, the Nissan Dayz and Mitsubishi eK were introduced in Japan.
The Dayz Roox features one-touch auto sliding rear doors, a battery-assist system as well as an Around View Monitor, and a host of keep cool kit keeps occupants comfy – the list includes a rear ceiling fan, roll-up sunshades and green UV-cut windshield glass.
In related news, a report indicates that Nissan will end its OEM procurement of minicars from Suzuki. The arrangement began in 2002, with Nissan taking the Suzuki MR Wagon and Palette models and rebadging them as the Moco and the Roox. The arrangement is set to end as early as next year, a natural process given the existence of NKMV and the growing relationship between Mitsubishi and Renault-Nissan. The Dayz Roox takes over from the Palette-based Roox in the scheme of things.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
How Ironic. This car really remind me of the ‘failed’ proton juara.
Try to change the badge to Toyota and price at 70k. I can assure you that this can sell like hotcake in Malaysia.
yaka? I don’t see Yaris sell very well in Msia yo…
Look at 2nd Gen Avanza sales. Now all Malaysian blindly support T brand. How about Rush?
it may be much smaller than Proton one. Seems like almost copycat of the Kia Ray.
Looks like proton juara
Somehow I have a fetish for cars like this. And I really like how the Dayz Roox Highway Star is designed. But only in my dreams that cars like this would come to our shores.
Anytime better than creatvity of toyota that still stick to old technology, old design and maintaining old junior no otak sales man in the showroom.
Rear ceiling fan? Am I reading this wrong?
Baby Alphard
look like kenari to me… how come perodua not came out new design for kenari anymore…if they do like this…it will like hotcake..
Just imagine… if this car produced by Proton.. there will be a million comments that condemn about dis car…haha
