Nissan’s new minicar, slated to go on sale in early 2014, will be called the Dayz Roox.

The tall wagon, which has a higher ceiling and roomier interior than other cars of its type, is the second minivehicle to come through Nissan’s joint venture with Mitsubishi. Nissan has released the name early in a bid to appeal to customers in the highly competitive minivehicle market.
