Nissan Roox
#4 in Kei Car · Rated 4.2
Fourth-generation kei wagon: space, safety and Google-connected infotainment
The Nissan Roox is Nissan’s refreshed kei-car wagon, now in its fourth generation (2025 release) developed with Mitsubishi and NMKV. Pricing starts around ¥1.6 million, reflecting strong value in the kei segment. The Roox emphasizes generous cabin length (over 2.3m interior length on the latest version) and a bold tech package, including a large 12.3-inch display and NissanConnect with Google integration. It also advances safety with enhanced ADAS and Around-View-style monitoring. International buyers often access Roox via export/import channels, but the model’s primary markets remain Japan. For urban buyers seeking high cabin usability in a tiny car, the Roox stands out against older keis due to its modern digital interface and improved driver aids.
