TOKYO: At Japan Mobility Show 2025, Daihatsu also debuted its all-electric Midget X concept which continues the legacy of the 1950s nameplate.
Toyota Motor Corp president and CEO Koji Sato said, "Making small cars is incredibly difficult. As someone who has been involved in car-making, I can say that from my heart. But Daihatsu continues to take on such challenges."
"Daihatsu's car-making is staying the course. Going around town to listen to what people are saying… thinking about how to help people when it finds someone in trouble… racking its brain over how it can make the most of its technologies for making things small. This led to the Midget X," he added.
The Midget X concept is billed as a mobility solution at the perfect size: easier to handle and offering more peace of mind than a bicycle, yet smaller than a mini vehicle.
Highlights include:
- A 1+2 seat arrangement, with the driver centrally positioned, that sparks conversation.
- A variety of deck configurations to suit the needs of the user
- Front-opening doors for easy entry and exit, despite its small size
