Chronology
SuccessorDaihatsu Mira e:S

It was available as a 5-door hatchback in two distinct styles - Esse or Esse Custom. The Esse was available in Eco, D, L and X grade levels with front- or four-wheel drive layout. The Esse Custom was added in November 2006. All versions were powered by a 658 cc (40 cu in) KF-VE three-cylinder petrol engine.[2]

The production ended in September 2011 and replaced by the Mira e:S.

According to Daihatsu, the name "Esse" was derived from the Latin root for the English word "essence", although it has also been used as a backronym for "Eco, Smart, Simple & Easy" in marketing.[3]

La Daihatsu Esse est une petite voiture du constructeur Daihatsu, réservée au marché japonais et appartenant, dans ce pays, à la catégorie des Keijidosha. Ce modèle se caractérise par un style assez joufflu et une partie arrière — intégrant la découpe des portes arrière — rappelant un peu les Renault 4 et Renault 5. Présentée au Tokyo Motor Show en octobre 2005, la Esse a été lancée dès le mois de décembre suivant. Malgré sa petite taille, la Esse n'est pas à considérer comme une citadine sur le marché japonais, les keijidosha étant essentiellement vendues à la campagne.
