The 2005 Daihatsu Esse Concept is a compact, no-frills, 660-cc, five-door car that draws inspiration from the 1980s-era Renault 5, offering a modern, miniaturized take on the classic design. The Esse is characterized by its simplicity and practicality, with Daihatsu emphasizing terms like eco, simple, smart, and easy to describe the vehicle. Already production-ready, it is expected to go on sale in Japan before the end of the year, targeting customers looking for an efficient and straightforward urban car.
