Nissan updated its most affordable model, the Dayz, in Japan with a price of around $9,200. The renovation focuses on improving active safety, adding a front camera with greater coverage and a rear seat reminder. A USB-C port and new body colors are also included. The message is clear: small, affordable cars can be safer without skyrocketing their final cost.
Wider camera and rear alert: how the standard rises 🚗
The front camera now has an extended viewing angle, allowing it to detect pedestrians and cyclists at intersections with greater anticipation. The rear seat reminder emits an audible warning when the door is opened if it detects movement in the back, a function designed to prevent children or pets from being left behind. The new USB-C port replaces the old connector, and the fresh colors aim to attract a younger audience without altering the vehicle's mechanics.
USB-C and new colors, what everyone was screaming for 😅
Because of course, what the Nissan Dayz really needed was a USB-C port and a different paint shade. Now you can charge your phone faster while forgetting your child in the back seat, because the reminder will alert you just in time. Sure, the engine and chassis remain the same, but at least you can choose between metallic blue or pearl gray while wondering why this car isn't sold outside Japan.
