Nissan Roox 2012

[Giacometta Fritchman]

Thenew Roox features a host of Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies including the ProPILOT advanced driver assistance system, designed to reduce the stress of long-distance driving and traffic jams on highways. Safety technologies such as the Intelligent Forward Collision Warning system give drivers greater confidence. A quieter cabin and Zero Gravity seats, designed to alleviate fatigue, are among the many improvements that promise drivers and passengers a comfortable ride.

The new Nissan Dayz, introduced in Japan last year, was the first minivehicle to feature ProPILOT advanced driver assistance technology. The system has evolved in the new Roox, which is equipped with a new millimeter-wave radar that gauges the status of preceding vehicles farther ahead, enabling smoother cruise control.

The car seats four adults comfortably. Legroom is plentiful, with a luxurious 795 millimeters of knee room for back-seat passengers. The ceiling height above the rear seat is 1,400 millimeters. With a floor length of 675 millimeters, the trunk fits four 48-liter suitcases.3

Getting in and out is easy, thanks to a rear sliding door aperture of 650 millimeters. The automatic, hands-free door is activated by swinging your foot under the car and is installed on both sides.4 This makes opening and closing the door a cinch when carrying bags or small children.

For the first time in a minivehicle5, a sensor can detect rapid deceleration in two preceding vehicles. The Intelligent Forward Collision Warning system notifies the driver using an indicator and audible alert to reduce the risk of a forward collision.

In addition to an automatic accident reporting system, the SOS Call7 feature comes standard across the Highway Star series. This system allows the driver to make a manual call in emergency situations.

For the exterior, buyers can choose among 12 monotone colors and five two-tone schemes. New color options include Serenity Gold8 for the Standard series, and Amethyst Purple and Atlantic Blue for the Highway STAR series.
