Daihatsu brought a myriad of interesting innovations at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, one of which was Midget X, an electric full concept designed to bring one of Daihatsu's classic names to a new era.

Yes, this model has a long history where it was born in 1957 as a three-wheeled vehicle that has broad flexibility. This model is often used by shops and couriers to pass on narrow roads and is proven agile.

This car returned in 1996 as Midget II, combining the nostalgic style with the spirit of never giving up. Production ended in 2001. But Daihatsu hasn't ended his story yet.

The Japanese brand gave birth to a new all-new Midget X that has been reborn as a tiny LCV pulling with an all-electric powertrain. Daihatsu said the bike tub was a little extra, let alone the perfect size.

Quoting from the Carscoops page, Thursday, October 30, the exterior design is inspired by the original Midget, with round LED headlights and helicopter-style windshields. The thrust is also semi-open with integrated lights and battery charging indicators in the profile section.

The concept includes backpack-style storage compartments although this area can be converted into extended back beds or larger boxes for commercial use.

On the interior, this EV adopts a central driving position with a unique steering wheel flanked by two passenger seats for toddlers. Daihatsu adds a special touch like a small compartment next to a seat that can be filled with biscuits, and other toy elements throughout the cabin

Another feature is the design of the lap handle for rear-celled doors, while similar mechanisms are used to open cargo areas.

Daihatsu has yet to release its technical specifications, stating only that "due to its small size, this car can be adapted to various lifestyles," and that "this car aims to make everyone happy."
