Daihatsu – other models: small commercial and kei vehicles outside the named ranges, from the Hijet and Mira through the Cuore Van and Gran Max to the Feroza and Midget II, 0.65 to 2.8 litres displacement
This page gathers Daihatsu models the register could not assign to their own range – from the Japanese kei vehicles Mira (as the Mira Walkthrough minibus), Cuore Van and the small Hijet van, also sold in Europe as the Piaggio Porter, to the three-wheeled retro Midget II and the off-road Feroza in cabriolet and hardtop form. Daihatsu, founded in 1907 as an engine maker and fully owned by Toyota since 2016, is regarded as a kei-vehicle specialist – the Japanese vehicle class with limits on length, width and engine displacement – and supplies licence-built designs to other manufacturers as well.

The register lists here 36 versions with displacements from 650 to 2,800 cm³ from two- to four-cylinder engines. Unladen weights range from 600 to 1,810 kg, gross vehicle weights from 775 to 2,510 kg and widths from 1,300 to 1,780 mm.
Kei vehicles such as the Mira, Cuore and Hijet shape urban delivery and everyday traffic in Japan, since their compact dimensions bring tax and parking advantages; in Europe, Daihatsu's small vans and off-roaders reached the market mainly through importers and as licence-built vehicles such as the Piaggio Porter.
When buying used, what counts on the small-displacement engines is oil consumption and timing-belt changes, corrosion on the floor and load bed on the commercial variants, the condition of the roof and frame on the Feroza cabriolets, and generally the limited parts supply outside Japan, which can be arranged through specialist kei-car and classic-vehicle traders.
