Overview
City buyers who want a tiny footprint with big usefulness will find the Dayz Bolero an easy fit. It pairs Nissan’s 659 cc three cylinder with a smooth CVT and offers either front drive or a traction-friendly 4WD option. The Bolero treatment adds a tasteful retro look and coordinated cabin trims while keeping the tall roof, sliding rear bench and clever storage that make errands and school runs simple. The latest update refines the fascia and cabin usability yet keeps ownership costs low and maneuverability excellent for Colombo traffic and tight lanes.

For urban life, the Dayz Bolero delivers a balanced blend of footprint and function. The tall roof and upright glass give excellent sight lines, which reduces stress when threading through tuk-tuks and buses. The CVT is tuned for gentle take-off, so crawling traffic on Galle Road is smooth, and the light steering makes quick U-turns simple. The Bolero’s design touches, namely the dark chrome grille and colour-matched cabin, offer a more premium look without drifting into flashy territory, which many family buyers prefer. The non-turbo 659 cc engine is adequate rather than eager; expect calm progress rather than quick bursts, especially with four aboard and the air-conditioner working hard. Fuel use is a strong point, and the small tank keeps fill-ups affordable. Safety support items such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure alerts and an around-view style camera can be present depending on the auction sheet and options, so checking the specific car is important. Ride comfort is fine on fresh tarmac, though sharp potholes will be felt because of the short wheelbase. If long expressway trips are common, the turbo Highway Star grades suit better, but for town errands, school runs and daily commuting, the Bolero spec hits a sweet spot of value, ease and tidy style. For Sri Lankan buyers navigating import constraints, current market asking prices show the Bolero positioned sensibly against rivals, and the availability of 4WD examples adds assurance for hill country or wet season routes.

Exterior Design
Look closely and the Bolero cues stand out. The reworked front carries Nissan’s compact V-motion theme, and the Bolero pack overlays it with a dark chrome grille and tasteful brightwork that reads elegant rather than loud. Proportions remain classic kei tall-hatch, with a near vertical tailgate to maximise cargo access and short overhangs to keep it easy to park. Wheel designs vary by grade, while the Bolero’s coordinated colours and contrasting mirror caps add character in a sea of plain city cars. Details are purposeful, from the squared roofline that protects rear headroom to wide-opening doors that make child seats simpler to fit. Paint choices and two-tone treatments give room to personalise without chasing aftermarket parts. Visibility is a design strength: thin pillars and a high seating point work with the generous glass area to reduce blind spots in tight lanes. The overall effect is a friendly, neat shape that fits narrow streets and looks smart at the office car park, with enough distinction to justify choosing the Bolero grade over a standard X.
