Why Honda N-Box
Why buy a Honda N-Box in the UK?
The Honda N-Box is one of Japan's best-selling cars: small enough to nip through city traffic and park almost anywhere, yet tall and clever enough inside to fit four adults with ease. Automatic, with sliding rear doors, it's a small car built around everyday life.

FAQs
Honda N-Box questions from UK buyers
Yes. The N-Box is fully road legal in the UK and can be driven on the motorway. It's happiest around town and on A-roads, and turbo versions feel noticeably more relaxed at higher speeds, which is worth considering if you do a lot of motorway miles.
Kei cars are a Japanese class of small car, built to strict limits on size and engine capacity (660cc). In Japan they benefit from lower taxes and running costs, which is why manufacturers put so much clever design into making them spacious and practical.
The Custom is the sportier-looking version, with a bolder front end, different lights and usually a higher specification. Underneath, both share the same clever, spacious design.
