The Mira e:S is the fuel-economy-focused successor to the Mira, previewed by the e:S concept at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show and released on 20 September 2011. Its "e:S technology" (a higher-compression KF-VE with i-EGR, an efficient CVT, idle-stop as standard and about 60 kg of weight saving) improved fuel efficiency by 40 percent. The 658 cc engine first made 52 PS; from July 2014 a revised Atkinson-cycle version with a 12.2:1 compression ratio made 49 PS. It was facelifted on 19 August 2013 and replaced in May 2017. Toyota sold it as the Pixis Epoch and Subaru as the Pleo Plus.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
