A Japanese import is simply a car that was sold in Japan, then brought to the UK. You’ll often hear it called a JDM car, which stands for Japanese Domestic Market.
Why people buy them
- Models that were never sold new in the UK, like the Alphard, Vellfire, Delica and many kei cars
- Performance icons such as the Skyline GT-R, Supra, RX-7 and Lancer Evolution
- Rich specs and comfort features, especially on MPVs
- Japan drives on the left, so its cars are right-hand drive like ours
What’s different about them?
Japanese imports often show distance in kilometres, so many have been converted for the UK. Trim names, spec levels and engines can also differ from UK cars, and some parts take longer to find.
Is a Japanese import a grey import?
Often, yes. A grey import is a car that was not sold new in the UK through the manufacturer’s official dealer network.
