Chronology
Predecessor Mitsubishi eK X Space

The Mitsubishi Delica Mini is a kei variation of the Delica series. Replacing the eK X Space on which it was also based, it went on sale in May 2023. [1] [2] A second generation arrived in August 2025.

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. Announced in late 2022, the Delica Mini went on sale in May 2023 – to coincide with the 55th anniversary of the original Delica. [3]

Like the related 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 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 new upholstery.
