Tokyo,
October 3, 2013 – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) today announced its new super height wagon*1 minicar will be named eK Space. Images of the eK Space and the eK Space Custom, both planned for launch in Japan in the beginning of 2014, have also been revealed.
The eK Space is the second passenger minicar model planned and developed by the MMC and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. joint venture NMKV Co., Ltd.,
following the eK Wagon and eK Custom models which were launched in Japan in June of this year. The new model has been christened eK Space to reflect a super height wagon minicar with a spacious and comfortable cabin.

The eK Space was developed to an "enjoyable, spacious, satisfying"*2 concept. Inheriting the beyond-its-class premium quality feel that has won the eK Wagon and eK Custom high acclaim, the eK Space brings an increase in cabin volume with an interior height that rivals the leaders in its class. Comfort and convenience features that enhance the ride experience of both driver and occupants include: a rear circulator which cycles the air throughout the cabin to provide a comfortable interior atmosphere for the rear occupants, a touch-operated electric sliding rear door, UV-reducing glass that shuts out 99% of UV light, and touch panel-operated air conditioning.
The eK Space will be exhibited at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show 2013*3 from November 20 through December 1.
