The eK Space Custom, with its large chrome grille, was facelifted in December 2016 along with the regular eK Space. The new Custom version features an even larger "Dynamic Shield" grille similar to the one introduced on the Outlander in 2015. The standard eK Space had the original, full-width grille replaced with a two-tiered opening surrounded by sheetmetal.

Successor | Mitsubishi Delica Mini (for eK X Space) |
The second generation eK Space and its crossover SUV-styled variant, called the eK X Space (pronounced "eK Cross Space"), were unveiled on February 6, 2020, and went on sale on March 19, 2020. Mitsubishi used various B30 and B40-series model codes, while Nissan's internal code for their Roox rebadge is BA1. After it was determined that the driver's side airbags did not meet the required standards, production was halted from December 2021 until February 2022. All examples of the eK Space and Roox built after December 2020 were recalled to have the driver's airbags replaced and additional knee airbags installed. [1]
In April 2023, facelifted versions of the eK Space and the Nissan Roox were announced, while the eK Cross Space was renamed Delica Mini (while also undergoing some design changes). The eK Space was immediately available, while the updated Roox went on sale two months later. The turbocharged eK Space T was discontinued, leaving only the G and M models. The Roox Autech variant was also removed from the price lists.
