DAIHATSU is one of those small businesses whose existence is sometimes questioned because of high participation known Toyota Why not just call the Toyota cars.
The Terios tested the answers to the question unequivocally It is like no Toyota in the market He RWD and although this may indicate a certain technical affinity with the Toyota Avanza, the rest of the Terios is not at all like the RAV4 which is its closest rival Toyota.
In the four-wheel drive Terios four wheels are driven continuously, and the center differential manually lockable This makes it a little serious offroader instead of a soft roader part time as the RAV4 We drove a few tracks rugged mountains and can say that it is quite capable Terios has a torquey engine, good ground clearance, and appropriate gear ratios and in off-road conditions rear wheel drive less subject to skate front wheel.
The interior is very refreshing, as it is stylistically different from the center console strangely reminiscent of some American cars pre-war and gives the Terios an upscale ambience controls are not just run-of-the-mill or, be smart and intuitive, it is easy to see that a lot of thought went into their design.
For example, the climate controls are so logical and practical that they could serve as a model for other developers to copy huge turn round switches for temperature and air volume and incorporate push buttons for modes and other adjustments high quality sound system, capable of delivering the full volume, is equipped.
The instruments are large and tidy, but it is disconcerting that a water temperature gauge is considered necessary that omission can not really be held against Daihatsu because it reflects a modern trend steering wheel door the base audio system control functions such as air conditioning, central locking, electric windows, CD player, front-loading, an additional 12V power supply and many drinkholders There are standard dual front airbags and a fuel cut emergency.
The driver's seat has a hippoint as high as 740 mm above the ground, but provides a downward adjustment of 15 mm and an upward adjustment of 31 mm This has obviously been carried over from the 4 Version 4 and shows one of the advantages of buying a 4-2 which is based on a 4 4 most testers found a comfortable driving position pretty quickly despite management having only tilt adjustment but few staff have complained of the lack of height adjustment of the position of the gear lever, which is quite low, also came some criticism.
The interior space is quite generous despite the Terios look small from the outside and there is an amount greater than the average free space The shoe is commendable large and can be expanded by folding the split file 60 40 from the back seat of an external spare wheel cover, mounted on the rear door, looked quite frail door opens to the side, and, as often happens, was hailed by some testers and convicted of other.
The motor moves only 1.5 liters and this imposes a limit on the performance, especially as it is energized by a heavy body The developing unit 77 kilowatts to 6000 r min, and is commendably The smooth fuel consumption is a 9-liter 100 km very reasonable according to the index of the cAR, but the readings taken from the vehicle to the measuring apparatus of the fuel consumption at steady speeds suggest that this value can be easily upgraded maximum torque of 140 Nm is delivered to 4400 r min, but the motor does not pull the bottom 2000 r min.
It takes a day or two to get used to the slightly strident exhaust note, which would be more welcome in a sports car, it is noisy while accelerating, but dies down at a cruising speed after a few days we liked because it was a sound reminder that the engine was until going off road, he gave a good indication of how hard the engine is working.
The brakes are easy to modulate, feeling perfectly consistent with the intended use of the car and the steering performed just the right amount of weight suspension is firm, most likely because the spring rate are shared with the off-road version of but the ride is even better than some family sedans cheap.
TEST SUMMARY This version of the Terios cost just under R205 000 This puts it right in the price range of many breaks based saloon, but very few have ground clearance or the dirt road capacity Number examples on the road seems to suggest that the Terios is a popular versatile We agree.
