Nissan and Mitsubishi have announced the names of a jointly-developed minicar that will go on sale in Japan beginning in June. The Nissan version will be called the Dayz, while the Mitsubishi model will be known as the eK.
Each will have two variants, these being the Nissan Dayz and the Dayz Highway Star, and the Mitsubishi eK Wagon and eK Custom. Naming-wise, Mitsubishi’s choice is derived from the Japanese term “ee kei,” meaning “good minicar,” while the Nissan name has the standard “s” changed to a “z” to indicate a new way of looking at delivering value to owners as they go about their normal days, so it goes.
The product planning and development of the new models was carried out by NMKV, a joint-venture formed by Nissan and Mitsubishi in 2011 to develop minicars for the Japanese market.
Following this first wave of minicar models, both companies are working on the planning and development of a second new minicar, a tall wagon design that’s slated for introduction sometime in early 2014.

Shame Loo, how much Toyota pay u?
If the pay not bad, do recommend ya…
By the way, seem that u did improve yourself, add in vios instead of hilux only.
Now he don’t mention about hilux no more coz his hilux was tapau-ded by my kapcai in kesas highway.
If you don’t like it than pls don’t bother to divert the attention other cars especially vios. The fact that you rec vios is sickening and vios sucks
I sure you mean like toyota’s Passo. There’s no such thing as OUR car
Oops..sorry. Forgot about Preve. But that doesn’t make me less pessimist of Malaysian automotive industry :P
I prefer the look of the Nissan than the Mitsubishi. Proton, what a missed oppurtunity, you could have worked together with them, share the R&D cost and put your Lotus knowhow together or make it as your Asean hub. Fail! Now you could just sit there and see Perodua and Toyota ahead of your standings.
Hail the Japanese technology and god like RESALE VALUE! Maybe they are actually god incarnate!
Nissan styling may be more acceptable by the crowds.
Nissan itself already has higher brand name, why mitsu not willing to put more effort to build it nice to beat nissan?
Or the chasis built by Mitsu? the car built from Mitsu plant? If it is, then it make sense why Mitsu use a slightly lower design language on the new minicar.
Dat EK… I haz a sadding…
What is sadding????
not bad…new market for mitsu and nissan
both have been tried by proton to become partner… at the end they themselve are partner… poor proton…
Look like a mini version of 86/BRZ
dear all sam loo, all jokes get old and u r old, so move on with the RV jokes. it aint funny anymore
The next Perodua car, perhaps?
It looks like the size of a mitsu-I. Is it based on that platform?
The first model of eK Wagon was introduced on year 2001.
The second model was on 2006
DayZ? So do we hunt down zombies in that little compact car. :D
It’s more like “DEYYY.. ZZZZ”
much better compared to cramp mirage
People buy cars because many reason ie brand, design, individual pref n etc…as far as i’m concern RV n especially toyota + sam loo can go to hell…
Mitsubishi design look better, but Nissan also not bad..but both are the right one to go for
Proton actually can come out with a good car.. the problem is they do it in slow motion..
