The Mira Cocoa, a derivative model of the Daihatsu Mira, was launched in 2009 as the successor to the Mira Gino. While it shares the same platform and powertrain as the Mira, its exclusively designed body features a simple, calming, and gentle styling.
The showcased vehicle belongs to the so-called “early model” generation, a swift and spirited variant released before stricter emission regulations led to reduced engine output and before the much-criticized idling stop system was introduced.
Furthermore, modifications such as suspension adjustments using parts from other Daihatsu models and the installation of genuine 15-inch wheels designed for the BMW MINI exude a sense of readiness and enthusiasm. The number of enthusiasts recognizing the hidden charm of the Mira Cocoa is steadily growing!
ダイハツ・ミラの派生モデルであるミラココアはミラジーノの後継モデルとして2009年より販売が開始された。プラットフォームおよびパワートレーンはミラと共通だが、専用にデザインされたボディスタイルはシンプルで落ち着く優しいスタイリング。
収録車はいわゆる「前期型」と呼べる世代の個体であり、排ガス規制の影響でエンジン出力が低下したり、悪評高いアイドリングストップが装備されたりする前の、快速モデルと言える。
また、ダイハツ他車種流用による足回りのセットアップ変更やBMW MINI用純正15インチホイール装着などにより、やる気を漂わせている。ミラココアに秘められた魅力に気が付いた者は、着実に増えつつあるのだ…!
