Podcast appearances and mentions of kei cars

Contrairement aux constructeurs du vieux continent qui proposent des véhicules toujours plus gros, plus lourds et plus chers, les industriels du pays du soleil levant ont choisi des voitures petites, légères et abordables.

Episode 77 of the Autocar podcast My Week In Cars finds our resident car hacks Steve Cropley and Matt Prior talking about this week's Geneva motor show, visiting the McLaren Technical Centre to discuss car 'bandwidth', driving licence refreshers, wondering whether Kei cars would be right for the UK and much more besides, including your correspondence.

After the end of WWII, the world was eager to get back to work, and more specifically, back to makin' cars. Japan was particularly ready to rebuild their economy, but were missing some crucial materials: steel, gasoline, and money. And as it turns out, the lack of those resources crafted the perfect storm for the creation of the Kei car. Often misunderstood, underappreciated, and forgotten, these minimobiles are some of the most fascinating examples of problem-solving in automotive history. How did they come about? Why did they stick around for so long? And perhaps most importantly, what are they?? Today on Past Gas, we're talking about that quirkiest of automotive curiosites - the Kei car.

Découvrez comment les constructeurs automobiles chinois exploitent la technologie des batteries au sodium pour réduire les coûts et stimuler le marché des petites voitures électriques, ou Kei cars.

¡El mítico Suzuki Jimny ha vuelto! ¡Y por aclamación popular! Su historia ha estado muy ligada a España, donde lo fabricó Santana entre 1985 y 2009. Las estrictas normas de homologación europeas lo dejaron “fuera de juego”. Pero Suzuki se las ha arreglado para volver a importarlo… Algunos dicen que “con trampa”. Voy a matizar lo que os he dicho al comenzar: El Jimny vuelve, pero lo hace al mercado europeo, en otros nunca se fue. Y lo hace como vehículo comercial, por eso algunos dicen que con trampa. Reconozco que no soy imparcial con el Suzuki Jimny. He probado todas sus versiones desde los años 80 y hasta he tenido uno en mi casa (de tercera generación), que fue el primer coche de mi hijo. Es un TT muy bien hecho, económico, polivalente, tanto en uso fuera de carretera como en ciudad… y con un encanto especial. Sin embargo, la “ecológica” y restrictiva legislación europea lo prohibió en su última generación, privando a miles de aficionados de su “juguete de TT”. ¡Pero Suzuki ha conseguido importarlo de nuevo! Porque la gente de Suzuki España es muy imaginativa y ha encontrado un resquicio en la reglamentación, más permisiva en los vehículos comerciales. Con un par de ajustes, el nuevo Jimny encajaba como un guante en el grupo de los “Furgones N1”. Ahora se importa como vehículo de trabajo y transporte de mercancías. Esto tiene dos inconvenientes: No admite pasajeros atrás y el límite de velocidad es más bajo… pero sigue siendo el mismo de siempre. Cada generación me gusta más que la anterior. Esta cuarta generación del Jimny de 2018 recupera la silueta cuadrangular del primer Samurái y emula a otros famosos todoterrenos, como los Mercedes Klasse G o los Jeep Wrangler, pero en miniatura… algo típico de este modelo. La nueva carrocería de faros redondos y líneas angulosas cuenta con más superficie acristalada y también con grandes aletas de plástico que le dan un aspecto mucho más agresivo. Sigue teniendo chasis independiente de largueros pero ahora más reforzado. También suspensión de doble eje rígido con muelles y tracción total con reductora: todo lo que necesita un verdadero aficionado al “Off Road”. Detrás de los asientos delanteros lleva ahora una rejilla de metal que condena toda la parte trasera como espacio de carga. Antes se criticaba que el Jimny apenas tenía maletero: ¡ahora es enorme! El Jimny nació en Japón en 1971: el LJ10 (Light Jeep 10) “Jimny” era un mini-4x4 que se ajustaba a las pequeñas dimensiones de los “Kei-Cars” japoneses. Apenas tenía 25 CV de potencia en su motor bicilíndrico de dos tiempos y 360 cc, pero sólo pesaba 600 Kg. Como contamos en otro vídeo anterior “Mitos: Suzuki Santana, y el TT se democratizó”, le siguieron otras versiones cada vez más potentes, con 3 cilindros y el doble de cilindrada y, finalmente, con cuatro en el SJ410 de 1981. Suzuki decidió por fin vender su SJ410 “Samurai” por todo el mundo, pero para hacerlo en Europa necesitaba fabricarlo allí. Fue entonces llegó a un acuerdo con la empresa española Santana, de Linares, que había estado produciendo los Land Rover nacionales. Por eso en España se comercializó como “Suzuki Santana”. El motor tenía un litro de cilindrada y apenas 45 CV de potencia, pero iba bien en carretera y como un tiro fuera de ella. Con motores inicialmente de gasolina y más tarde diésel con hasta 64 CV de potencia, el SJ410 se convirtió en un icono de moda para la juventud de su tiempo, además de ser un coche apto para el trabajo rural. El nombre mundial de Jimny, se estrenó en 1998 con la “tercera generación” con una carrocería bien distinta. Yo tuve uno de esos y me encantaba. Respeto al primer Santana era más moderno y más cómodo. Se podía elegir entre el motor de 1.300 cc de 85 CV, o el Renault diésel de 86 CV. Era más confortable, más turismo y hasta tenía aire acondicionado. Pero bajo la redondeada carrocería que modernizaba su aspecto, estaba el chasis de siempre, con leves mejoras. El Jimny resultaba más agradable de conducir por carretera y conservaba intacta su capacidad todoterreno. La empresa Santana lo estuvo fabricando en España hasta 2009, saliendo de sus líneas de montaje nada menos que 215.803 unidades. Y, hasta el momento, ya se han vendido más de tres millones en todo el mundo. La cuarta generación -la actual- apareció en 2018, pero no se podía vender en Europa por su concepción clásica. Ni su nuevo motor de 1,5 litros cumplía las normas anticontaminantes… En España hubo listas de espera, pero la mayoría de los compradores de esas listas de espera acabaron … ¡desesperados! Y sin coche. Conclusión. El Suzuki Jimny es un juguete para andar por el campo. Sus ejes rígidos y la corta distancia entre ellos lo hacen duro para sus ocupantes, a los que sacude como una coctelera.

On today's episode, Jason and Derek uncover the fruitful history of Kei cars, the limitations they possess, and the various misconceptions that most enthusiasts have taken as truth. Jason and Derek discuss the differences in character between Honda Beat, Autozam AZ-1, Suzuki Cappuccino, and the other sub-700cc pocket rockets that have become popular 25 year rule imports into the US in recent years. Today's topic also explores how different world governments create (and destroy) the existence of specific vehicle types, as well as the important cars throughout history that have mobilized developed and developing countries. Just like the Model T and the Beetle mobilized the United States and Germany respectively, the Kei car was responsible for getting the masses in Japan on the road while establishing a standard for efficiency and reliability that would eventually define Japanese auto manufacturing around the world.

Benjamin talks about his experience in the new 2021 Ford Bronco Wildrak, and explores how the Blue Oval has worked to keep up with the legacy and momentum of the Jeep Wrangler. Was the Wrangler as easy of a target as Ford thought it was? Benjamin decides whether the Bronco beats its Jeep bogey in any meaningful way, and whether the hype machine surrounding the Ford is warranted. The Sami jumps into the newly-electrified 2021 Ford Escape PHEV, and wonders if this vehicle was made to satisfy an eco-cred quotient, or if it had an intended target in the market. With 37 miles of consistent electric range to compare to the Tucson PHEVs 33 and RAV4 Prime's 42, is the Escape a happy medium between the two? Finally, the pair dive into a new segment this week, talking about an entire class of vehicle that eluded the North American market—the kei cars of Japan—before wrapping things up with a BMW M book review and a listener question. Tons of stuff to listen to this week, but don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments!

Hello Everyone, in this episode of Shift with Motordrift! we are going to be talking about Kei Cars, which happens to be one of the most popular and driven categories of vehicles in Japan. It's so popular that companies outside of Japan like Smart and Caterham have also started to give Kri cars a Try.

Japan, Japan, Japan! Prof. Lutz Fügener und Guido Bellberg sprechen über japanische Kei-Cars, die vielleicht bald auch ein Teil unserer Mobilität sein könnten, Shinkansen-Züge und japanisches Design im Allgemeinen. Außerdem: Bellberg und sein geliebter Mini Cooper S, warum Autos und Autoschlüssel immer größer werden und die zwei Arten von Petrolheads, zu deutsch Autoliebhabern.

It sounds daunting, but buying a car abroad is not difficult. Long before they even knew each other, both Jason and Derek had each turned a summer European vacation into a car-buying extravaganza. Importing a 25-year-old car into the U.S. isn’t difficult at all, and duty isn’t expensive.[NOTE: This episode was recorded in early March 2020 before the Coronavirus Social Distancing measures went into effect. We're glad to help stave off boredom while you #ShelterInPlace — anything to keep you home and keep you safe. Stay well, all of you. Love and distant kisses from all of us at ISSIMI.]In discussing what cars are on their personal To Buy lists, Derek and Jason realized that most of the cars they want were never sold in the U.S. — things like the Honda Beat, Autozam AZ-1, Suzuki Cappuccino, Daihatsu Copen, and other Japanese-market Kei Cars. On the opposite end of the spectrum are Derek’s Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 and Range Rover 2-door fetishes — and where the boys’ tastes overlap: at the Lotus Carlton. Built as a special-edition Opel / Vauxhall Omega, the Carlton was a 177-mph family sedan that infuriated everyone at the time for being socially unconscionable. But with a turbocharged straight-six, rear-wheel drive, and a manual transmission, it’s right up the Radwood-era enthusiast’s alley.The first-generation Honda Insight isn’t, even though Jason wants one. He also wants an original Honda S600 or S800 — but not an S2000. You’ll have to watch to find out why (hint: steering and gearing.) And you’ll hear the outrageous story of the R107 380SL Jason shipped to his dad, which got destroyed by the DEA at the port, thinking it was filled with drugs. So even though shipping a car across the globe is relatively inexpensive, it’s not without its risks. The Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter.Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 250 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.
