Toyota Sparky

The Daihatsu Hijet is a microvan and pickup truck manufactured by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu. Despite the similarities between the Hijet name and Toyota's naming scheme for its trucks and vans (Hiace and Hilux), the name "Hijet" has been in use for Daihatsu's Kei trucks and vans since 1960, over two decades before Toyota took control.

When the ninth generation Hijet was introduced in 1999, a 1.3-liter seven-seat version (S221G) was also offered, sold as the "Daihatsu Atrai 7". It has bigger bumpers and does not qualify as a kei car. In an OEM deal, this car was also sold as the Toyota Sparky.

The car was an analog of the model Daihatsu Atrai 7, manufactured by Toyota in the framework of authorized production of borrowed models (OEM). If in essence, it was a low-cost minivan, the body of which was equipped with 2 doors + universal swing door/sliding door + rear tailgate.
