Kei car model from Mitsubishi Motors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mitsubishi Delica Mini (Japanese: 三菱・デリカミニ, Hepburn: Mitsubishi Derika Mini) is a kei car manufactured by NMKV, a joint venture between Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors. Using the Delica nameplate and replacing the eK X Space on which it was also based, it went on sale in May 2023 as the kei variation of the Delica lineup.[1][2]

Announced in late 2022, the Delica Mini went on sale in May 2023 – to coincide with the 55th anniversary of the original Delica.[3] Mitsubishi had considered naming the car the "Delica D:1" as a continuation of the larger Delica D:5, D:3, and D:2 models, but in the end they opted for "Delica Mini" to tie it to the very successful Pajero Mini instead.[3]

The first-generation Delica Mini was offered in G, G Premium, T, and T Premium grade levels. The "T" models have the turbocharged engine.
Like the eK X Space, the Delica Mini features "Grip Control", which applies the brake to any wheel which loses traction on slippery surfaces. It also features Hill Descent Control (HDC), which applies the brakes to maintain a slow, steady speed on steep inclines or slopes, allowing the driver to concentrate on steering. The Delica Mini shares a lot of design elements with the eK X Space, such as the "Dynamic Shield" grille design, but also has prominent "DELICA" lettering at the front and rear. The interior is largely carryover, albeit with updated upholstery.

The second-generation Delica Mini was unveiled on 22 August 2025,[6][7] along with the third-generation eK Space and its sister car, the fourth-generation Nissan Roox. It was released in September and went to sale in October the same year.[6]
The front fascia retains the Dynamic Shield from the first generation, but the semicircular LED position lamps have been enlarged.[8] The three diamonds logo have been slightly enlarged. The Dynamic Shield itself has been integrated into the bumper and is now the same color as the body. The rear tailgate garnish now has a larger "DELICA" logo engraved in the same color as the body, and the combination lamps now have a block motif.
Like first generation, The grades are "T" for turbo engine vehicles and "G" for naturally aspirated engine vehicles, with "T Premium" and "G Premium". In addition, the "Delimaru Package", based on the T/G Premium, has been added.
