The Mira e:S is a masterclass in minimalist engineering. Daihatsu designed this car with a "utilitarian chic" philosophy—stripping away excess weight to maximize fuel economy without sacrificing safety.
-
Design: It features a sharp, angular design compared to the softer curves of older Mira models. The distinct hexagonal front grille area and angular headlights give it a modern look.
-
Efficiency First: It uses Daihatsu's "D-Monocoque" lightweight body and resin parts (like the front fenders and tailgate) to keep the weight incredibly low (around 650kg).
-
Usage: It is the quintessential city commuter—easy to park, cheap to run, and surprisingly spacious inside despite its small exterior footprint.
