Vehicle Outline
High Fuel Efficiency and Affordable Price
All models are equipped with the eco-IDLE*3 system―an idling-stop function that shuts off the engine as the vehicle comes to a stop (approximately 7 km/h or less)―and other fuel-saving features to achieve a fuel efficiency of 30.0 km/L under the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) JC08 test cycle and CO2 emissions of 77 g/km.
All models exceed the MLIT 2015 fuel efficiency standards*4 by 20 percent, and in combination with certification for emissions levels 75 percent lower than the 2005 standards of the MLIT approval system for low-emission vehicles, the Pixis Epoch is eligible for tax reductions under the Japanese government's tax incentive program for environment-friendly vehicles.
Simple, Universally-Appealing Design
Available in eight pleasing colors such as Cotton Ivory, the Pixis Epoch sports a simple form without extraneous elements, giving it an air of sophistication with advanced and vibrant styling. The simple silhouette features low, flowing lines that hint at outstanding aerodynamic performance, while the logical design of the high-quality interior emphasizes innovation.
Everyday Utility
The compact body (length of 3,395 mm, width of 1,475 mm and height of 1,500 mm) enables the Pixis Epoch to park in low-clearance parking areas, while the roomy interior still allows plenty of space for four adults.
The compact interior dimensions (length of 1,920 mm*5, width of 1,350 mm and height of 1,500 mm) feature a generous 930 mm of legroom between the front and rear seats, providing ample space for rear passengers. Many simple-yet-functional, easy-to-reach interior storage spaces and features, such as a hook on the instrument panel (in front of passenger seat) for shopping bags and other items, enhance occupant convenience.
With a minimum turning radius of 4.4 m, the Pixis Epoch comfortably navigates sharp corners on narrow roads, minimizes fuss when parking and provides excellent maneuverability in everyday driving.
