2019 Daihatsu Mira

The 2019 Daihatsu Mira (specifically the Mira e:S generation) is a highly popular, ultra-efficient Japanese Kei car (light hatchback) designed for maximum fuel economy, compact urban maneuverability, and low maintenance costs. Built on Daihatsu’s lightweight DNGA-derived architecture, the Mira features a clean, aerodynamic two-box hatchback profile, compact proportions, multi-reflector halogen headlights, body-colored bumpers, and 14-inch steel wheels with full covers or light alloy wheels on higher trim grades (such as the G SA III or X SA III). Under the bonnet, the 2019 Mira e:S is powered by Daihatsu's 0.66-liter (658cc) KF-VE inline 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing 52 PS (51 hp / 38 kW) at 6,800 RPM and 60 Nm of torque at 5,200 RPM. Power is transmitted to either the front wheels (2WD) or all four wheels (4WD) via a responsive CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The vehicle incorporates Daihatsu's "e:S" (Eco & Smart) technology suite, featuring an intelligent idling stop-start system, regenerative braking, and lightweight resin body panels to achieve phenomenal fuel efficiency. Inside, the cabin is surprisingly roomy for its exterior footprint, featuring light-colored fabric upholstery, a central digital driver display console, manual or automatic climate control, front door storage pockets, a 2-DIN audio system or infotainment touchscreen capability, and fold-down rear seats for expanded cargo flexibility.
