Daihatsu engineers have been very clever in designing a car with poor features which doesn\u2019t feel like it, thanks to fresh colours as Renault did with the Twingo in 1992. The plastics and seats share the same colour as the exterior painting. Like the Twingo, the instrument panel is central but the dashboard is less nifty and closer to the layout we can find in any Japanese car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Arial\">In order to meet the regulations, the Esse is powered with a small 600 cc 3-cylinder engine with an output of 58 bhp at 7,200 rpm. Coupled with a CVT automatic gearbox, it is set to become the perfect choice for girls who don\u2019t want to spend a lot on a car.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/esse_rearstyling1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\"  src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/esse_rearstyling.jpg\" alt=\"Esse_rearstyling\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;float: left\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/esse_seat1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"158\"  src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/esse_seat.jpg\" alt=\"Esse_seat\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;float: left\" \/><\/a><br \/><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Arial\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, the new Esse from Daihatsu is being sold in Japan from today.
