A concept car appeared at the Tokyo Motor Show 2019 held in the fall of 2019, and the prototype was released for the first time at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2020.
Before the announcement, the price and equipment were announced, despite the fact that it was evaluated as "this will sell!"

The price impact is enormous.Automatic brakes and side & curtain airbags are standard equipment, and the starting price is reasonably 1,353,000 yen.
Surprisingly, the luxurious glass roof is standard equipment in all grades.
In the intermediate grade "G 2WD", you will not be lost because you will have aluminum wheels, roof rails, super UV cut glass, driver's passenger seat heater for 1,485,000 yen.
If you combine it with a large liquid crystal display, you will find the charm of classless.
This time, I got on a vehicle without a turbo that seems to be a hot seller.If there are many opportunities to run on highways, we will recommend a 1.6 million yen turbo engine -equipped car, but recent mini cars will run quite well on the NA (natural intake) engine.
If you select the D -range and step on the accelerator, it will be the effect of Daihatsu's proud Widreshio CVT or unexpectedly powerful.Even if you like cars like me (Mitsuhiro Kunizawa), I don't think you have to have a turbo.
Riding comfort is good.Speaking of mini cars, it tends to be too soft or a rugged comfort that has a lot of push -up from the road surface, but the new tofu reaches the same texture as a white number compact car.
Even the roll when the handle is turned off is less anxious, and a long drive will not get tired.It is a undercarriage that people who are familiar with cars can understand.
Above all, it is the lowest ground height, which is 190mm.Because it is a small car with a small wheelbase and tread, ordinary cars have the same bad road running properties as the ground and more than 200 mm.
Although flood damage has occurred every year, if the ground height is high like a taft, it is excellent in survival ability.If you wear off -road -oriented tires, it seems to show more reliable ability.
One of the features of the new taft is the Sky Feeltop.
Many of the conventional sunroofs have no surprise opening because they are glass from the top of the driver.
However, in the case of a new taft, the front end of the glass surface of the roof is quite ahead of the driver, so the room with a sense of openness spreads.Although it was cloudy on the day of the test drive, it made me feel bright.
The shade that shuts out sunlight is also standard, so you can close the glass roof.No, it's a good car.
Even the new taft cabin space is large enough.Clocks used in the outdoors and decorations like smartphones are also decorated, so the atmosphere is perfect.
The residence of the rear seat greatly surpasses Honda "Fit" and minivan -type compact cars.
Above all, it's fun to design, and I think it's fun to dress up.This will sell.
The only anxiety material is the automatic brake (collision damage reduction brake), which is a weak point common to Daihatsu cars.It is said that pedestrians at night from the new taft are also supported, but the ability to respond to pedestrians from behind the car has not been disclosed.
When I tried using "Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC with full -speed follow -up function)" that understands the sensor performance to some extent, I did not feel the sense of stability or accuracy like Nissan.It is not recommended to take the exam at JNCAP and get results.
If the new taft has a Nissan automatic brake, it is already highly acclaimed and recommended.
