Toyota Pixis Mega
The Toyota Pixis Mega — a kei tall-body microvan based on the Daihatsu Wake, produced from 2015 to 2019, with a 1,630 mm height and 0.66L 52–64 hp, presenting maximum cabin volume in a compact size — a unique kei car.
Overview
The Toyota Pixis Mega was introduced to the market in 2015. This model is a rebadged version of the Daihatsu Wake marketed under the Toyota brand name. The name "Mega" emphasizes how much cabin volume the model offers in the kei category. The body height reaches 1,630 mm — a record value in the kei car category. Inside, passengers can stand upright.
Available in a 0.66L KF-VE (52 hp) naturally aspirated engine or KF-DET (64 hp) turbo version. City driving is comfortable with the CVT transmission. With the high ceiling design advantage, the cabin volume is significantly larger than traditional kei hatchbacks. Sliding rear doors make city parking easier.
In Azerbaijan, the Toyota Pixis Mega is an extremely rare find. It is better known in the market as the Daihatsu Wake. This model combining compact exterior dimensions with maximum cabin volume for city use is particularly interesting for drivers with young children and small tradespeople. Maintenance of imported models can be performed at Daihatsu workshops.

Pixis Mega FAQ — Azerbaijan Buyers
Why was the Pixis Mega discontinued in 2019?
The Toyota Pixis Mega and its base Daihatsu Wake were discontinued in 2019 due to sales volumes not meeting expectations. The high roof design created aerodynamic disadvantages. The Honda N-Box was more dominant in this segment in the Japanese market. However, existing examples can still be found on the market.
Is the Pixis Mega suitable for business purposes?
Yes, the Pixis Mega is suitable for small-volume commercial purposes such as floristry, small deliveries, and transporting medical equipment thanks to its high cabin volume. However, the Pixis Van is more suitable for carrying heavy loads — as sliding doors and a flat floor make commerce more convenient.
Is it possible to stand upright inside this model?
Yes, with a roof height of 1,630 mm, a person of average height (up to 170 cm) can stand comfortably. This is an exceptional feature in the kei car category. It makes entry extremely comfortable for elderly passengers and children.
Toyota Pixis Mega ?
The Toyota Pixis Mega remarkably combines maximum cabin volume in kei dimensions. Sliding doors, high ceiling, reliable KF engine — all positives. Parts availability in Azerbaijan is limited. Production stopped in 2019. For long-term use you must rely on Japanese import resources.
