The Toyota Regius Front Elevating Roof Conversion is the ultimate upgrade for anyone looking to turn their Japanese import MPV into a versatile and comfortable campervan. Known for its dependable performance and spacious interior, the Regius has become a popular base vehicle for vanlife enthusiasts across the UK.
However, to make the most of its camper potential, one key upgrade stands out — a front elevating pop-top roof. This professionally fitted roof not only adds full standing room but also improves airflow, provides extra sleeping space, and keeps a sleek, low-profile design when closed.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing conversion or starting a fresh build, this roof makes your Regius truly camper-ready.
