The Honda N-Box is a kei car produced by Honda for the Japanese market. Together with the N-WGN, N-One and N-Van, it is part of the renewed N lineup of kei class city cars from Honda. The “N” prefix was previously used for the late 1960s and 1970s N360. Originally it stood for norimono which loosely translates to vehicle. For the new N lineup, the “N” represented New, Next, Nippon, and Norimono.
The first-generation N-Box was unveiled on 27 October 2011 and launched in Japan on 30 November 2011. The N-Box family received a very light facelift in February 2015. The Custom was also changed, with a revised grille with three rather than four horizontal bars.
