No worries about driving on winding roads!

Even on winding climbs, the turbocharged engine pulls the vehicle along with a gusto and you don’t feel any stress. This is a point that was also felt in the previous generation model, but it seems to be largely due to the excellent control of the transmission (CVT), which does not go out of its torque band.

Even in cornering, there was no scene where I felt “uneasy …… because of the large roll feeling” when driving at a sensible pace. The test drive experience was memorable in that I often felt that the ride quality was so comfortable that it was hard to believe it was a light car in all situations.

The N-BOX is full of attractions that are not only “because it’s kei-car”, but also “because it’s an N-BOX”

One aspect of N-BOX sales is of course that it is a cheap and easy-to-buy light car. However, the opposite is true: “Light cars have become more expensive. There are people in the world who say that a regular compact car is no longer good enough”.

But when you drive an N-BOX, you will find that it is a car that is also full of “only because it is an N-BOX” attractions, such as a wide variety of seat arrangements, good visibility that makes driving easy, and several detailed storage facilities. The N-BOX is a light car with a unique appeal low running costs, and a quality that makes you think it has exceeded the boundaries of a light car. The comprehensive fusion of these various attractions is the reason for the car’s high popularity.
