The Daihatsu Mira, also known as the Cuore, Domino or Charade outside of Japan, is a kei car class type vehicle which comes with a variety of options and chassis variations. The latest model has 4 'flavours' and they are "Mira", "Mira AVY", "Mira Gino" and "Mira VAN". The Mira is basically an upgraded and renamed version of the Daihatsu Fellow. In Australia the two-seater version was known as a handivan and later just Handi, and was sold alongside the names of Mira and Cuore. The commercial version was dropped when the Mira was released in later years as a Charade.

The Mira Gino, with its distinct retro-style looks, is marketed as the Daihatsu Trevis in Europe.

One of the variants, the L200 1990/92, had a couple different engine sizes, it was equipped with a .65L 3 cylinder engine producing 660cc displacement available in Japan and in Australia a more powerful variant was available with an 847cc motor with a 4 speed manual in the 90-91 and then a 5 speed manual in the later 1992.

The 660cc Japanese variant rear passenger seats are really unique in modern passenger cars as they were designed and manufactured without rear seat-belts.

The Daihatsu Mira is one of the lightest 4 passenger cars in the world weighing in at 580kg gross
