The Daihatsu Wake (Japanese: ダイハツ・ウェイク, Hepburn: Daihatsu Weiku) is a kei car with sliding doors sold by Daihatsu between November 2014 and August 2022.[4] The vehicle was previewed by Deca Deca concept cars that were shown at 2009 and 2013 Tokyo Motor Shows.
The microvan version of the Wake, intended for commercial use, was called the Hijet Caddie (ダイハツ・ハイゼットキャディー, Daihatsu Haizetto Kyadī) and was available between 2016 and 2021. The Wake was also sold by Toyota as the Toyota Pixis Mega (Japanese: トヨタ・ピクシスメガ, Hepburn: Toyota Pikushisu Mega) between 2015 and 2022.
The Wake had an interior cabin height of 1,455 mm (57.3 in), which was the highest in kei car segment.[5] The Hijet Caddie had a permitted maximum loading capacity of 150 kg (330 lb).
