Kei car is the smallest category of expressway-legal motor vehicles in Japan. Kei is short for kei-jidōsha (軽自動車 pronounced [keːdʑidoːɕa]) ‘light vehicle’.
With restricted dimensions and engine specifications, owners enjoy lower tax and insurance rates, leading to a lower overall ownership cost. In most rural areas, they are also exempt from the general Japanese shako shōmeisho (車庫証明書) parking-space ownership requirement to legally buy a motor vehicle at all,[1] as street parking is generally restricted in Japan. Japan’s carmakers also make microvans and kei trucks within this legal category. Kei cars are favored by both the elderly and younger demographics, including youths and young families, due to their affordability and ease of use.[2]
