Daihatsu Terios SUV to be presented

Japanese company Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. plans to present its 'completely redesigned' Daihatsu Terios mini-SUV during the next Geneva 2006 Motor Show.







According to the company, the current Daihatsu Terios sells about 12000 to 18000 units a year on the foreign markets. It's not that bad, considering that during its eight years of production the mini-SUV was sold in excess of 300 thousand units. By the way, the Terios has virtually no competitors in its niche except for the ugly Suzuki Jimny. No wonder that Daihatsu decided to extend the Terios' life-span and accomplished its complete redesign, not just a face-lift.

The new Terios will come with a more powerful high-output, high-torque1.5-liter engine, and a full-time four-wheel drive system with a mechanical, center-locking differential. Its compact dimensions give Daihatsu Terios minimum turning circle of only 9.8m.
