FactThis Toppo's passenger door is deliberately longer than the driver's door — a lopsided body built specifically so rear passengers climb out on the safer curb side.
The third-generation Toppo, the Toppo BJ ("Big Joy"), was sold from October 1998 to 2004 (a model replaced by the eK in 2001 but sold alongside it until 2004), on a 2,340 mm wheelbase with 657 cc 3G83, 659 cc 4A30 (SOHC or DOHC) and 1,094 cc 4A31 engines. A non-kei larger derivative, the Toppo BJ Wide, with enlarged bumpers, a 1.1-litre engine and five seats instead of four, was produced from January 1999 until March 2001.

Photographs
When Mitsubishi revived the Toppo name in 2008, it didn't design a new body. It reused third-generation door panels and sheet metal, bolted onto the underpinnings of the second-generation eK Wagon.
This Toppo's passenger door is deliberately longer than the driver's door — a lopsided body built specifically so rear passengers climb out on the safer curb side.
Partway through this generation, Mitsubishi rolled out a deliberately retro-styled version, the Minica Toppo Town Bee — different enough from the standard car to earn its own name.
Mitsubishi built this Toppo's passenger door longer than the driver's, a small asymmetry meant to make rear-seat entry safer.

Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Fiat 500L has a genuine claim to fame beyond its looks: it was the first production car anywhere to offer a built-in espresso machine as an option.
Fiat built every 500L in Serbia, at Kragujevac, and still sold half a million of them worldwide by early 2018.
