Overview
Vehicle Repair is a planned gameplay feature for inZOI scheduled for the September 2026 update per the 2026 Roadmap Part 1 letter published on December 26, 2025. As of April 25, 2026, the feature has not yet shipped on the live build (v0.7.5) and remains in active development.
The feature is part of a broader vehicle interactions update bundle. Per KRAFTON's published roadmap, September 2026 will introduce vehicle interactions including repairs, car washes, audio systems, in-car conversations, the ability to call taxis, and Taxi Driver Career jobs.
Confirmed Components
Component | Description |
|---|---|
Repairs | Vehicles will gain a damage or wear mechanic that requires periodic repair. The exact damage model has not been disclosed. |
Car Washes | Vehicles can become dirty over time and require washing. Whether car washes will be standalone businesses or interactions at gas stations is not yet specified. |
In-Car Audio Systems | Vehicles will have functional audio systems for music playback during drives. |
Conversations While Driving | Zois can hold conversations with passengers while a vehicle is in motion, complementing the existing automatic driving mode. |
Call Taxis | Players can call taxis for transportation rather than relying on owned vehicles or walking. |
