The Xbee made its world premiere at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show.[2] Although being similar in styling to the Hustler kei car, they do not share the same mechanical parts. It uses the HEARTECT platform that is shared with the second-generation Ignis and third-generation Solio instead.[3]
The Xbee is only available with a mild hybrid powertrain coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The four-wheel drive model is also equipped with hill descent control, which limits the speed to a steady 7 km/h (4 mph) when engaged.[4]
The facelifted model was unveiled on 13 July 2022.[5][6]
