FactThis rebadged Daihatsu gave Subaru a first: an emergency stop signal that flashes the hazards under hard braking above 60 km/h.
The first Subaru Pleo Plus is a rebadged first-generation Daihatsu Mira e:S, released on 21 December 2012. It shares the Mira e:S's fuel-economy engineering and its 658 cc KF-VE three-cylinder with a CVT: 52 PS at first, then 49 PS from the Atkinson-cycle revision of July 2014. It was facelifted with the Mira e:S on 19 August 2013 and replaced in May 2017.
