Mitsubishi eK
The Mitsubishi eK (Japanese: 三菱・イーケイ, Hepburn: Mitsubishi Ē Kei) is a kei car series from Mitsubishi Motors and Nissan, based on the long-running Minica, and first introduced on 11 October 2001. The "eK" name is an abbreviation for "excellent keijidōsha" (or "excellent minicar") and is meant to be pronounced "ee kay", a pun which sounds like the Japanese いい軽, meaning "good kei [car]". Since 8 June 2005, Nissan received 36,000 eK Wagons annually from Mitsubishi, to be sold within the domestic market as the Nissan Otti. The Otti was replaced by the Nissan Dayz on 6 June 2013, although the Otti was still sold alongside the Dayz until being discontinued on 28 June 2013. A tall-height minivan version with rear sliding doors called the eK Space appeared in 2014. It, too has a Nissan version, called the Nissan Dayz Roox from 2014 to 2020 and as the Nissan Roox from 2020.
