For friends who pay attention to modified cars, the Tokyo Modified Auto Show must be like thunder, unlike the auto shows in our inherent impression, the modified car show is more about showing the diversity of vehicles. The "Tokyo Modified Auto Show" is famous not only because of its long history, but also because of its product heritage.
The 2022 Tokyo Modified Auto Show is in full swing, and I can't visit the exhibition on the spot, so I can only sit in front of the computer and watch the exhibition online with the majority of netizens. Among the many modified models, Xiaobian was attracted by a k-car modified camper in Japan, which came from the familiar Daihatsu, called atrai Deck Van Camper. (Part of the image from Autohome)
Dafabet I think many people in China are not strangers, the brand in the early days with Tianjin Huali joint development of Tianjin Dafatsu, Dafatsu van has also become the early national car memory. The product unveiled at the Tokyo Tuning Show is based on the Atrai Deck Van transformation, which is a product that focuses on outdoor camping. The product form belongs to k-car.
Different from China's land and treasures, Japan's overall resources, which have been known as the "land of bullets" since ancient times, are very scarce, of which traffic and road resources are even worse, and cars such as k-car are the characteristic products of the Japanese market. Many people who buy a car in China have to struggle with the "lottery", but in Japan, they have to struggle with parking spaces. To buy a car in Japan, you need to show a parking space certificate, but the rental fee for a parking space in Japan is 20,000-30,000 yuan a year. In addition, the Japanese government has also reduced the purchase cost of k-car to a large extent, and the purchase tax and insurance have different degrees of discounts. K-car's product pricing is similar to China's Wuling Hongguang, the purchase policy is equivalent to the earlier new energy vehicles, a variety of reasons piled up, it is difficult to think of fire.
Although the sparrow is small, it is complete. The Functional Reserve of Daihatsu Camper at the Tokyo Modification Exhibition is not inferior to any traditional camping products, the top of the vehicle is designed with a camping tent, the front vehicle light group uses LED light sources, and the rim is also "blackened". The second row inside the vehicle is enclosed to accommodate items such as cooking utensils, and the space performance is quite good. But it is also because of its second row design that this car can only ride 2 members. However, in order to expand the loading capacity of the vehicle, there is also a very mini cargo box at the rear of the vehicle, which resembles the Wuling Hongguang 6*6 unveiled at the earlier domestic auto show. So at present, it is actually a real "pickup truck".
The k-car is a product of research and development based on national conditions, and to say that it is a type of product, I think it is more like a condensation of Japanese geographical culture. In the small view of the large, each country will have its own special products, such as the familiar light truck and Wuling Hongguang and other vans in different car culture may also be equivalent to the "k-car" in the eyes of others. There are many vehicles with complex traffic conditions in domestic first-tier cities, and I don't know whether cars such as k-car can enlighten our automobile market.
