It refers to K-Car, known as 'Kei Jidosha' in Japanese, which is the smallest and lightest category of automobiles. Here are some relevant details: 1. Powertrain: In addition to naturally aspirated engines, K-Cars can also feature various powertrain options such as turbocharged engines, hybrid systems, and pure electric power. Transmission choices include manual, automatic, and CVT, while drive configurations range from front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive to all-wheel drive. 2. Benefits: K-Cars enjoy significant tax advantages, with a purchase tax rate of 3% compared to 5% for regular vehicles. In most rural areas of Japan, they are exempt from taxes during usage, and companies can also benefit from tax reductions when using them.
