Nissan's new Roox kei car, launched in August 2025, drew over 22,000 orders by December 1, fueled by low costs and innovative features.
Nissan’s third-generation Roox, a kei car developed with Mitsubishi, has rapidly gained popularity in Japan, surpassing 22,000 orders by December 1, 2025, just weeks after its August debut.
Featuring a 12.3-inch display, 360-degree camera with an “Invisible Hood View,” and sliding rear seats, the Roox leverages Japan’s kei car regulations—capping size and engine at 660cc—to offer lower taxes, insurance, and parking costs.
November sales hit 7,741 units, a 43% rise from October and 41% from last year, though it trails Honda’s N-Box.
Priced from ¥1.67 million to ¥2.46 million (~$16,200–$23,800), the model includes turbocharged trims.
The success is notable amid Nissan’s challenges, especially as BYD prepares to launch its electric kei car, the Racco, in Japan mid-2026, though its pricing, battery, and range remain unconfirmed.
