Toyota Passo-Daihatsu Boon Get Redesigned

The twin hatchbacks known as the Toyota Passo and Daihatsu Boon in the JDM sphere have been launched in their all-new guises.

The new model replaces the first-gen vehicle, out since mid-2004. In a press release for the model, Toyota says the car is both spacious and compact.

The Toyota version comes in two flavors, Passo and Passo + Hanna, the latter of which gets extra features like projector headlights. It will also be available in two-wheel and all-wheel drive variants, and on top of that comes in a JDM-bonanza of trim levels such as Modellista and TRD Sportivo.

Daihatsu Boon will offer the same possible features, but with a much lower projected sales volume - 500 to the Toyota's 6,500 - the Boon will come in three versions as opposed to the Toyota's six.
Engine choices are a 1,0-liter, 68-horsepower lump or a 1,3-liter, 94-hp motor, both running through a CVT.





The Passo starts a $10,971 U.S. They also say the car, available in 11 colors, is both fuel efficient and easy to drive.

Daihatsu Basket Concept makes its debut

Another of Daihatsu’s cars on display at the Tokyo Motor Show is the Basket, which many say is reminiscent of the Citroen Mehari from the 1970s. The Basket is believed to be based on the Mira, Daihatsu’s main 660cc player in Japan. The Basket is converted to four-wheel drive and seats up to four passengers.Its interior can be considered plain. Apparently, the carmaker didn’t want any frills. The Basket is built on Daihatsu’s FF platform and has separate front and rear roofs. The material used fo

Daihatsu Motor Co. Skip Shanghai Motor Show

Daihatsu Motor Co. has decided not to participate in this year's Shanghai International Motor Show, which will be held next month.

In addition to its slow entry into the Chinese market, the firm's growing emphasis on costs versus benefits contributed to the decision. It participated in the 2007 event, but has sold only 500 units a month of its Xenia subcompact, which was released in China that year.

The Shanghai Motor Show is held every other year. The 2009 edition will run from April 22-28, with the exhibit area expanded 20 per cent from the 2007 show.

Latest car test results from Euro NCAP

Test results for 6 cars were released by Euro NCAP yesterday:

In the Supermini category, the Daihatsu Materia and the Mazda 2.

In the Small Family Car category, the Honda Civic

In the Large Family Car category, the the Mercedes Benz C Class, the Renault Laguna and the Volvo V70

Out of these, four cars received five stars in adult occupant protection. These were the Mazda 2, the Mercedes Benz C Class, the Renault Laguna and the Volvo V70.


Mazda 2

During the trest, delay in the deployment of airbags was detected in the Mazda 2 and the Volvo V70 even though they were not part of Euro NCAP tests.

In the frontal impact test of the Mazda 2, a small disturbance shortly before impact led to a delay in the firing of the airbags and protection of the front seat occupants was compromised. Although these disturbances are not part of Euro NCAP’s tests, they could occur in real life accidents. In the case of the Volvo V70, curtain airbag deployment was delayed in the side pole test.

Both manufacturers have taken steps to rectify the problems.

Perodua Viva just a poor copy of Mira

Learned about the launch of the new Perodua Viva on the 10th of this month, from Xcarz who left a comment on my blog.

This new model is a replacement for the Kelisa and is based on the Daihatsu Mira (also known as the Cuore, Domino or Charade outside Japan). In fact it is almost identical to the Mira externally. Internally however, it is a different matter all together. Malaysians have been handed down the old tired design. Take a look at Paul Tan's blog post here to see what I mean.

Prices range from RM 28,400 (for the Solid color 660cc EX Manual) to RM 44,200 (for the 1000cc Metallic paint Automatic Premium) - these are on the road prices.

FYI, Perodua is short for Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd.

UPDATE: Learned from Azwan that the 660cc and 850cc versions of Viva don't have power steering.
