All 8 Mitsubishi Minica Generations
Each generation deals in its rarity tier’s alloy with its engine disc, lead specs, and first spotter record. Click into any generation for full trims and market figures.
In December 1999 a run of 50 Mitsubishi Pistachios with a 1,094 cc direct-injection engine was sold only to organisations working to protect the environment.
The three-door had a shorter door on the driver's side than on the passenger's, and 677,325 of this generation were built.
Its Walk-Through Van stood 1,990 mm tall, just under the kei limit, but was a hasty cut-and-shut job that sold too poorly to continue.
Mitsubishi pitched it against much larger one-litre cars, and in its first month passenger Minica sales tripled year on year.
The 1983 Minica Ami L Turbo was the first kei car ever sold with a turbocharger.
Its new four-stroke twin, tagged MCA for Mitsubishi Clean Air, ran much cleaner than the old two-strokes, though not as smoothly.
Every other kei car maker had gone front-wheel drive by 1969 — the Minica 70 was the lone holdout, sticking with a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The 1964 Minica facelift's real upgrade wasn't styling — it was "Auto Mix," which finally spared owners from hand-mixing oil into the tank of their two-stroke kei car.
