ROOX Thoughtful Touches of Kindness

When developing the ROOX, Nissan focused not only on driving performance and safety, but also on making everyday life more comfortable.
Research into how customers use their vehicles revealed that kindness can take both emotional and physical forms.
Based on these insights, the ROOX incorporates thoughtful improvements in the small details that customers interact with every day.
Here, we introduce several examples of what the development team calls “Thoughtful Touches of Kindness.”

The back door handle was redesigned with added depth to help prevent fingertips and fingernails from coming into contact with surrounding surfaces.
To make operation feel more natural, the handle was repositioned to the center, replacing the offset design used on the previous model.
In addition, the width of the switch was increased by 35%, making it easier to grip and operate.
Because this is a part customers touch every day, the improvement was designed with comfort at the moment of contact in mind.

In previous models, metal screws were visible inside the door pocket. In the ROOX, dedicated covers were added so that fingertips and fingernails do not come into direct contact with them.
Because this area is naturally touched when opening and closing the door, it was designed to provide a greater sense of comfort.
Careful attention was given to even these small interactions so that everyday use feels more pleasant.

The ROOX incorporates its signature “rounded square” design motif into interior details as well.
Components such as the sliding door rails feature rounded edges to help provide peace of mind should young children accidentally touch them.
The design considers not only a softer appearance, but also safety and comfort when touched.

The thoughtful touches of kindness incorporated into the ROOX may appear to be small improvements at first glance.
However, it is the accumulation of these details that helps create a vehicle that the whole family can use comfortably and with peace of mind.
Nissan engineers pursue quality down to the finest detail, striving to create vehicles that fit naturally into everyday life.
