“Wonderful Small” — Our Message

As we face the challenges of resources, emissions, and urban space, the role of compact cars is becoming more important than ever.
In an era where more people will choose smaller vehicles, we at We Do Compact—a brand that has pursued the dream of cars through drivability and environmental care—believe in this more than ever.

We want to deliver more excitement that only small cars can bring.
More surprises in what a compact form can truly achieve.
Through our technology, quality, and creativity, we fill this small frame with boundless wonder.

“Wonderful Small” is our renewed declaration.
It is a flag we raise with pride—
and now, catching the wind of that spirit,
a single car takes off into the future.

The Birth of Copen — A Door to Your Dreams

The scent of fresh greenery.
The chill of morning mist.
The sound of the sea, the energy of the city, the strength of the sunrise, the melancholy of sunset.
We invite you to experience them all — the ever-changing drama of light and wind, felt with every sense, while immersed in the exhilaration of the drive.

And in that moment of pure motion, a door to your dreams appears — right beside you.

This is the car we at Daihatsu have longed to create — a dream born from our love of driving, and our belief in the potential of small cars.
It offers exceptional performance, an electric Active Top, the joy of driving, and the delight of ownership — all packed into a body that brings it closer to everyone.

“The smallest body with the biggest dream.”
That thought crystalized here.

Presenting the world’s smallest electric-powered hardtop open sports car —
The Copen.

Toward a place called Dream.

To steer freely, as you wish.

Cut through the wind. Let your heart accelerate.

Sharing life together, enriching each day.

Everyday and extraordinary — switched with a single touch.
The first electric retractable hardtop in a kei car.

A sports car made to stay close to you.
