New generation Mitsubishi Delica Mini, eK Space debut in Japan
Mitsubishi Japan has unveiled two kei car models set to launch soon: the new-generation 2025 Delica Mini and 2025 eK Space.
Reservations for both models are now open, with prices starting at approximately 1.95 million yen (RM56,000) for the Delica Mini and from 1.75 million yen (RM50,000) for the eK Space.
Delica Mini
In terms of appearance, one might assume that the second generation of the Delica Mini remains unchanged due to its identical front design. Even the dimensions haven’t changed.
However, upon closer inspection, it can be said that nearly all body panels have been redesigned.
The headlights, featuring a U-shaped graphic, are now larger, accompanied by a thicker grille structure and Dynamic Shield elements that match the body color.
The A-pillar has also become more vertical to create a roomier cabin space.
The hood, front fenders, and doors now showcase distinct body lines, while the D-pillar is thicker compared to the previous model.
According to Mitsubishi, the new Delica Mini features Kayaba Prosmooth shock absorbers, which also come with different settings for the all-wheel drive model.
Inside the cabin, the dashboard layout has been updated, featuring a seven-inch cluster screen and a central 12.3-inch screen integrated into a single panel, along with a newly designed two-spoke steering wheel.
In the center, there is a rotary dial for selecting driving modes, including Power, Normal, Eco, Gravel, and Snow.
Lastly, the Delica Mini is equipped with an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and a surround monitoring system that utilizes four camera sensors.
eK Space
The eK Space is a third-generation model introduced alongside the Delica Mini.
Unlike the Delica Mini, the eK Space presents a more elegant front without rugged elements such as body cladding and a skid plate.
The cabin layout is similarly designed to the Delica Mini, but the eK Space offers only three driving modes: Power, Normal, and Eco.
No details have been disclosed regarding the engines to be used in either the Delica Mini or the eK Space.
The previous Delica Mini was available with a choice of a naturally aspirated three-cylinder 658 cc engine producing 51 hp, or a turbo engine generating 63 hp.
