Vehicle Outline

Highly Practical Cabin with Ample Cargo and Deck Space

Both vehicles are designed to offer comfortable daily use, with the convenient layout of the instrument panel and control switches around the driver's seat ensuring easy operation.

Pixis Van

The gear stick has been shifted to the instrument panel to create uncluttered legroom and enhance the comfort of the interior. A large glove compartment, in-door storage trays and other such features create ample storage space for enhanced utility.

In the Deluxe or Special grade with high roof and 2-passenger configuration, the Pixis Van boasts the largest cargo space for its class2 (1,860 × 1,315 × 1,235 mm). The vehicle's square structure makes use of every cubic centimeter, allowing the large-capacity cargo area to be filled from corner to corner.

Two side sliding doors (770 mm × 1,190 mm) and a rear-hatch door (1,335 mm × 1,145 mm) provide expansive openings which, in addition to a cargo area only 635 mm off the ground enhance ease of loading and unloading.

Pixis Truck

The wheel housing for the Pixis Truck has been shifted to under the seats for unimpeded front passenger legroom. In addition to a large central instrument panel pocket and glove compartment, numerous storage areas provide abundant and convenient storage space.

The cargo deck, with a class-leading2 length of 1,945 mm from guard frame to rear, features a thin, flat guard frame that does not protrude over the deck and makes it efficient and simple to neatly load boxed cargo.

Gasoline Engine Excels in Practicality, Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Performance

For both the Pixis Truck and Pixis Van, a 660 cc KF engine with Dynamic Variable Valve Timing (DVVT3) in combination with a 3-speed or 4-speed automatic transmission (AT) or a 5-speed manual transmission (MT) enables both highly responsive city driving and smooth operation at high speeds. The Pixis Van Cruise Turbo features an intercooler-equipped turbo. All models conform to the 2007 exhaust emissions standards.

Pixis Van

Rear-wheel drive, MT models4 realize class-leading fuel efficiency of 17.0 km/L in the 10-15 test cycle outlined by MLIT (equivalent to 137 g/km of CO2 emissions). Rear-wheel-drive-MT and four-wheel-drive model fuel efficiency exceeds Japan's 2010 standards5 by 5% and rear-wheel-drive AT models (except Cruise Turbo rear-wheel-drive AT) exceed the standards by 10%.

Pixis Truck

Rear-wheel drive, MT models offer class-leading fuel efficiency of 17.8 km/L in the 10-15 test cycle (equivalent to 130 g/km of CO2 emissions). Rear-wheel-drive-MT and four-wheel-drive-AT models exceed Japan's 2010 standards by 5% and rear-wheel-drive AT models exceed the standards by 10%.
