Launch and Generation Timeline
The second‑generation Materia was first shown in 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show and reached the United States as a 2007 model the following year. This generation continued to be offered until the line was discontinued.
Unusual Mini‑MPV Design
The Materia stood out with concept‑car styling that gave it the look of a ‘jumbo’ kei car, blending the compact dimensions of a kei vehicle with the practicality of a mini MPV. Its distinctive appearance set it apart from typical small cars.
Versatile Body and Engine Options
From 2007 to 2013 the Materia was available in multi‑purpose wagon body shapes and offered a range of engines from 1.3 L to 1.5 L (1298 – 1495 cc). Because the model was never widespread, owners in markets like Bulgaria and Germany often find parts hard to source, highlighting its rarity.
