The original, launched in November 1966 as a rear-wheel-drive 1.1-litre saloon aimed squarely at the family that had just been able to afford its first car.[1] It reached the United States in March 1968, at around $1,700, and was built in seven countries within two years of launch. This was an export ambition well beyond what a Japanese compact of the period usually attempted.
The sourcing here is thinner than later generations: Wikipedia’s own article gives no kerb weight and no torque figure for either engine, only power in period PS. Both are recorded honestly as gaps rather than filled with a plausible-looking guess. The 13 PS gained by the twin-carburettor SL model introduced at the 1968 facelift is the one figure the article states as a clean delta, so it is recorded as its own trim.
