Kei cars in Australia? That’s like trying to fit a kangaroo in a glovebox—rare and a bit quirky. These tiny Japanese microcars, designed for narrow streets and tight parking, aren’t officially sold new here due to different vehicle standards and market demand. However, some cheeky importers and enthusiasts bring in used models, mostly for city dwellers craving fuel efficiency and compact size.

Specs typically include: engines under 660cc, power around 40-64 hp, and weights below 700 kg. Prices for used imports vary wildly, but expect anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 AUD, depending on condition and model. For a look at available imports, check classifieds on Tradingpost or CarShowroom.
