🇦🇺 Nissan Kicks Has Arrived in Australia Why We Only Source from Japanese Authorised Dealers

🚗 We’ve Started Importing the Nissan Kicks to Australia

At Roundabout Australia,
we are proud to announce that we have officially started importing the Nissan Kicks from Japan to Australia.

The Nissan Kicks is a highly regarded compact SUV in Japan, known for its:

  • Easy-to-drive size

  • Excellent fuel efficiency

  • Practical design for everyday use

Although it has never been officially sold in Australia, we believe the Kicks is perfectly suited to Australian urban life — especially for drivers who want SUV practicality without oversized dimensions.

🇯🇵 Not All Japanese Imports Are the Same

When people hear “Japanese used car import,”
they often assume the vehicle was sourced from a large auction.

While auctions are common in the industry,
Roundabout Australia intentionally avoids auction sourcing whenever possible.

Why?

Because auction vehicles often come with limited transparency regarding:

  • How the vehicle was previously used

  • Whether it has been involved in accidents

  • The quality and extent of past repairs

  • Who maintained the vehicle, and to what standard

Even with auction inspection sheets, the full ownership and maintenance story is often incomplete.

For long-term ownership in Australia, that uncertainty matters.

🏢 Why We Choose Japanese Authorised Dealer Vehicles

Instead of auctions, we focus on sourcing vehicles from Japanese authorised dealers.

Dealer-managed vehicles typically offer:

  • Clear ownership and service history

  • Manufacturer-standard inspections and servicing

  • Recorded accident and repair information

  • Consistent maintenance over the vehicle’s life

In short, these are vehicles we can fully explain, stand behind, and responsibly sell.

Our philosophy is simple:

If we can’t clearly explain a car’s history, we won’t sell it.

🌏 Why the Nissan Kicks Works So Well in Australia

✅ Ideal Size for City Driving

Australian cities are growing denser, and larger SUVs aren’t always practical.

The Nissan Kicks offers:

  • Easy parking

  • Excellent visibility

  • Stress-free manoeuvrability in shopping centres and urban streets

It’s a true city-friendly SUV.

✅ Fuel Efficiency That Makes Sense

With rising fuel costs, efficiency matters.

The Kicks delivers strong real-world fuel economy, making it ideal for:

  • Daily commuting

  • School runs

  • Weekend errands

Lower running costs without sacrificing comfort.

🔧 Importing Is Only the Beginning — Support Comes After

One of the biggest concerns with imported vehicles is after-sales support.

At Roundabout Australia, we believe support doesn’t end at delivery.

We provide:

  • Guidance on Japanese-spec differences

  • Assistance with parts sourcing

  • Ongoing maintenance and ownership support

Our goal is simple:
You should feel confident owning your car long after you’ve purchased it.

👨‍👩‍👧 Who the Nissan Kicks Is Perfect For

The Nissan Kicks is an excellent choice for:

  • Drivers wanting a compact, efficient SUV

  • First-time car buyers in Australia

  • Urban commuters

  • Small families

  • Anyone looking for a reliable alternative to mainstream local models

If you’re considering vehicles like the Yaris Cross or HR-V, the Kicks is a smart and refreshing option.

🚢 Carefully Imported, One Car at a Time

Every vehicle we offer is:

  • Carefully selected from Japanese authorised dealers

  • Fully compliant with Australian import regulations

  • Supplied with clear documentation and transparency

We believe importing a vehicle should be straightforward, honest, and stress-free.

✨ Choosing Confidence Over Cheap Shortcuts

es — auction vehicles can sometimes be cheaper.

But at Roundabout Australia, we prioritise:

  • Transparency

  • Reliability

  • Long-term ownership confidence

That’s why we focus on quality over shortcuts.
