YOKOHAMA, Japan (July 8, 2013) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced that orders for the new Nissan DAYZ, launched on June 6, reached 30,000 units as of July 8, about one month after its launch. This represents the fastest pace of orders placed for a Nissan minicar in the ten-plus years that Nissan has been selling them, and indicates a smooth start to DAYZ sales.
With a dynamic exterior and high-quality feel interior, the new DAYZ adopts the Around View Monitor technology and touch-screen automatic air-conditioning system for the first time in minicars. Additionally, it has adopted super UV-cut heat insulated green glass for the front doors which filters out 99 percent of UV rays. Having these exceptional amenities for passenger comfort and convenience newly featured in a minicar has won the new DAYZ high acclaim from customers.
The new DAYZ achieves fuel economy of 29.2 km/L (in JC08 mode testing), the best among height wagon-type minicars*1, thanks to its newly-developed three-cylinder engine, continuously variable transmission (CVT) with auxiliary gearbox, and lightweight body. It is fully exempted from Japan's automobile acquisition tax and automobile weight tax*2. These attributes have also made it popular with customers.
- *1: 2WD S and X grades, Highway STAR X, Highway STAR G. Height wagon-type class minicars have a height of 1,550 mm or more. (Fuel economy figure is based on a Nissan internal assessment, as of June 2013)
