Kei cars are not only great fun to drive, they are also easy to park and very practical for everyday use with excellent fuel economy.
What is a Kei Car ?
Kei car in Japan means any vehicle with engine size of less than 660 cc and dimensions within 3.4m x 1.48m x 2.0m. At this size you get 2 or 4 seats.
The new SEVS import regulations introduced in 2023 allow ANY kei car to be imported, providing it was not sold new in Australia.
The kei car segment covers super-cute tiny cars of all types – convertible, people mover, hatch and even mini tipper trucks !
Many Japanese kei car models in recent years such as the Mitsubishi EK Cross and Delica Mini incorporate turbo and hybrid systems together for a good balance of performance and low fuel use.
We source kei cars under 15 years old from Japan direct to order so you can select whatever you want from the best cars available. We make kei car import to Australia easy – see how it works.
