The Hijet is well known in the Japanese market where it belongs to the category of “keijidosha” (light cars), which means that the car must be shorter than 3.40 m/133.9 in. long, 1.48 m/58.3 in. wide, and its displacement must not exceed 660 cc. The Hijet, sold between September 2005 and June 2010, cheats a little since it adds a small electric motor (8 hp) to the standard engine (50 hp).
