Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. has announced the new kei car Wake on November 10. Its price ranges from 1.35 million yen. There is a model known as Tanto in the same line of Daihatsu. We asked Chief Engineer Masayuki Nakajima to describe what kind of model the new Wake is.
"The Wake should be a model that can do things that cannot be done with the Tanto. Moreover, we emphasized its specialization in leisure. We also put into consideration the so-called "On and Off" way of thinking from the initial stage of development."
Nakajima continued, "It can be used for daily commuting and shopping; and since it can accommodate more luggage than the Tanto, you would naturally want to use it for leisure activities. It is also a car which can be tailored for weekend recreation. The development team also created this car while being mindful of the thought 'Anything can happen in unexpected situations'".
The Wake is in essence, a kei car. However, that is the reason why Nakajima emphasizes the fact that there is something that only it is capable of doing.
Nakajima said, "Kei cars can go to places that cannot be reached by big cars. There are also a lot of activities that a kei car can do even in the leisure scene. Summarily, the Wake is small, easy to handle, and economical as it has firmly captured the features of a kei car. It is a car which runs filled with dreams of the extraordinary. We have included such a wish into the Wake.
