Japan Used Subaru Pleo for Sale

The Subaru Pleo was a kei car from Subaru. The Pleo was taller than conventional kei car like Hatchbacks, but shorter than the definitive microvan, the Suzuki Wagon R, and was available with a variety of 658 cc I4 engines: SOHC, DOHC, and supercharged in two different trim levels. It competes with the Honda Life, Daihatsu Cuore, and the Mitsubishi Toppo in the tall Station Wagon segment of kei cars in Japan.

The first-generation Pleo first went on sale in Japan on October 9, 1998, replacing the Vivio, when Japanese regulations dictated a minor change in the kei car tax bracket, and every kei car model from every make was redesigned as a result.

In June 1999, Subaru launched a luxurious edition of the Pleo, called the Nesta. In October a sporty edition was launched called the LS then In December an Le edition was launched. The second-generation Pleo first went on sale in Japan on April 20, 2010. Due to Subaru corporate investment by Toyota, this second generation is manufactured by Daihatsu instead of Subaru, and was a rebadged Daihatsu Mira.
