It carried on the Mira DNA of "smart style and space utility", with the concept of a "town-driving quality mini".

Stories

A long wheelbase and a tight turning circle

With a new platform that achieved a long wheelbase, the seventh-generation Mira gained a long cabin and the widest cabin among kei cars while keeping a height that fits multistory car parks. It still had a tight turning circle that makes it easy to drive, and included touches to make it easy for anyone to drive and get in and out of, such as lower front side steps and door mirrors linked to reverse gear.
