The Daihatsu Mira is a popular kei car and city car produced by Japanese automaker Daihatsu. It comes in various options and chassis variations, with the latest generation offering four models: Mira, Mira AVY, Mira Gino, and Mira VAN. The Mira continues a line of cars that started with the Daihatsu Fellow in 1966 and was originally introduced as the commercial version of the Cuore.
Originally offered with smaller engines, the Mira has been available outside of Japan with larger 850 or 1000-cc engine options. In Australia, the Mira was marketed as the Daihatsu Handivan and later as the Daihatsu Handi, specifically in a two-seater configuration.
The name "Mira" is derived from Latin, meaning "goal" or "purpose," reflecting the car's focus on practical city driving and efficiency. The compact size and nimble nature of the Mira make it popular in crowded urban areas where maneuverability is key.
