The Daihatsu Terios is a mini SUV, first released in 1997 by the Japanese car manufacturer Daihatsu. The engines are a modified Daihatsu Charade 1.3 litre or kei car 660 cc unit, with constant four wheel drive (4WD) or two wheel drive (2WD), respectively. It has a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. The width of the first generation Terios is less than 1500 mm, to fulfil the kei car regulations. Also to meet these regulations, the kei car Terios is shorter, losing the rearmost side window. The second generation of Terios was co-developed by Daihatsu and fellow Japanese manufacturer Toyota.

The first generation was available as a five-door estate, and the smaller kei car model called the Terios Kid, which was only released in Japan (see Japanese-language article Terios Kid). Model codes for the first generation were J100, J102, and J122.
In 2000, Daihatsu gave the Terios a mild facelift both in the exterior and interior of the vehicle. A new chrome grille replaced the black plastic grille. The high-grade model gained electric front windows, central locking, rear seat head restraints, alloy wheels, roof rails and a roof-mounted rear spoiler. Mechanically, the 1.3 litre SOHC four-cylinder engine fitted to the previous model had been replaced by the new 1.3 litre DOHC four-cylinder engine. Power was also increased by 3 kW (4 hp). A sport version of the K3-VET engine was produced in Japan.
In Australia, a limited edition sports series was introduced in 2001 with only 200 units being available. The vehicle had body colour matching bumpers, different from the two-tone bumper colour on the standard model. Rear spoiler and sunroof became standard. The interior was updated with metallic paint finish on the centre console and dashboard.
This was the first Daihatsu to be assembled in Venezuela, where production began in November 2001.[1]

International
The first-generation Daihatsu Terios is also known as the Toyota Cami in Japan. In Malaysia, the car is locally assembled as the Perodua badge as Perodua Kembara.
In India, there is a Terios-derived vehicle known as the Premier Rio from Premier Automobiles Limited, which is a re-badged Zotye Nomad I. It is powered by a Peugeot diesel and petrol engine, and since 2012 has a Fiat diesel option.
In China, it is known by two ways: one of them as under the badge as Zotye 2008 and 5008 propelled with a 1.5-litre engine provided by Mitsubishi (first series body); as an unauthorized copy of the car, which caused some controversy, and the FAW badged it as the Huali Terios. Since 2009, Daihatsu withdrew from the China market due to bad performance, and sold the tooling and rights of this car to First Auto Works (FAW), who has been their partner in China. The new name now is the FAW (or YiQi) M80 SenYa (森雅). Two versions 1.3L (K3) and 1.5L (3SZ) are sold, with either five or seven seats. Both engines are imported Toyota DVVT engines.
In Indonesia, a version of the Terios is known as the Daihatsu Taruna (Japanese: ダイハツ・タルナ Daihatsu Taruna?), with a longer rear-based body capable of seating seven people. The Taruna was launched in 1999 with a different fascia and a 1589 cc HD-C petrol engine. The name Taruna translates roughly as "young knight" or "cadet" in Indonesian. It is available with standard CL and FL trims; deluxe CX and FX trims; and sporty CSX and FGX trims. There are also CSR and FGZ trim level, which are similar to CSX and FGX.
A more "stylish" version, the Daihatsu Taruna OXXY, was launched in March 2005.[2]

The second generation known as Daihatsu D-Concept 4x4 made an appearance in 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show before being named the new Daihatsu Terios, which went into production in 2006. Model codes are J200, J210, and J211.
The second generation of the Terios is also wider, nearly 1700 mm, compared to the first generation which is less than 1500 mm.
On the Japanese domestic market (JDM), the Terios has been succeeded by the Daihatsu Be‣go and Toyota Rush, however, in European, South American and most other Asian markets, the new model is sold under the name Terios. Daihatsu designs and manufacture the Terios and also supplies the vehicle to Toyota under a consigned / OEM manufacturing agreement.[4]
Both use 1.3 litre or 1.5 litre engine; diesel engined versions are awaited. Only the 1.5 litre version is available with both two- or four-wheel drive.
The Terios features a permanent 4WD system via lockable central differential. However, it lacks low ratio gears.
Indonesia
In December 2006, Toyota and Daihatsu in Indonesia launched the second generation of Rush and Terios which have longer wheelbase. However, the car only comes with rear wheel drive.[5] The Daihatsu Terios and Toyota Rush are available only with the long wheelbase in Indonesia. The difference between Rush and Terios: Rush is designed for five people only, and Terios is designed for seven people, so the Rush lacks third row seating (although third-row seat is available as a dealer option). Also both cars have different rim, with seven bespoked wheel from JDM version of Toyota Rush installed on Daihatsu Terios and five-bespoked wheel from European market Daihatsu Terios installed on Toyota Rush.
In Indonesia, Terios came with three trim levels: X, X Extra, R and R Adventure. X and X Extra have almost spotless unsimilarities apart from parking sensor, wheel hub, and automatic transmission. Whilst Daihatsu Terios R have a striking differences even from the previous versions and facelifts, such as body kit design (R Adventure) and wheel arches, brand new bespoked alloy wheels, spoiler as standard (previous one was optional) and satnav with DVD player double din stereo, rear parking camera and HDMI input.
Toyota Rush
A seven-seater version of the Daihatsu Terios was also offered by UMW Toyota in some countries like Malaysia and Indonesia as a Toyota Rush, Grand Terios in Egypt and as Terios Advantage in some countries like Chile starting February 2008. The vehicle is imported from Indonesia, manufactured by Astra Daihatsu Motor. The Toyota Rush in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, India, and Indonesia comes in two trim levels – the 1.5G (in both four-speed automatic and five-speed manual) and the 1.5S (replaced with TRD Sportivo in 2013). The key differences between these trims are:
| 1.5 TRD Sportivo | 1.5 G | |
|---|---|---|
| Headlamps | Projector with LED DRL & LED positioning lamp | Projector with LED positioning lamp |
| Body kit | TRD body kit | No body kit |
| Wing Mirror | Chrome, retractable with LED turn signal | Body-coloured, retractable with LED turn signal |
| 3rd brake lamp | LED with clear glass finish | LED |
| Spoiler | TRD Spoiler with TRD embossed logo & high mount stop lamp | Standard spoiler with high mount stop lamp |
| Safety | ABS, EBD, Dual SRS Airbag & Immobilizer | ABS, EBD, Dual SRS Airbag & Immobilizer |
Perodua Nautica
At around the same time, Perodua, Daihatsu's local partner in Malaysia also launched a short wheel base version of the Daihatsu Terios. Sold as the Perodua Nautica, it was launched in Malaysia in May 2008. This was fully imported from Japan, except for the front grille, front bumper and rear bumper which are manufactured and fitted in Malaysia. It has a 1.5 litre DVVT engine, full-time 4WD, projector headlamps, a 5-seater with dark interior. The price tag of the Perodua Nautica is not much different from the long-wheelbase Toyota Rush. It comes with only two colour choices: (Medallion Grey and Majestic Black) and comes in automatic transmission only. The Nautica was quietly discontinued in 2009, slightly less than a year after its launch. Only a mere total of 489 units were ever sold.[6] The reason for the discontinuation was because as a national car company focused on local manufacturing, Perodua was unable to obtain sufficient necessary Approved Permits for vehicle importation, as the Nautica was imported in CBU form from Japan.[citation needed]
