Trump pushes for import of Japan’s small kei cars to U.S., but safety and rules block widespread use.
President Donald Trump has renewed calls to introduce Japan’s small, fuel-efficient kei cars to the U.S., touting their affordability and practicality amid rising vehicle costs.
These compact vehicles, popular in Japan for decades, offer low fuel consumption, easy parking, and reduced ownership costs.
However, widespread adoption faces major hurdles: they don’t meet current U.S. safety standards, lack key features like airbags, and are restricted by import rules limiting them to vehicles over 25 years old.
While some Americans support the idea for urban use, regulatory and manufacturing challenges make large-scale implementation unlikely in the near term.
Trump presiona por la importación de los autos kei pequeños de Japón a los Estados Unidos, pero la seguridad y las reglas impiden su uso generalizado.
