5 adults will fit comfortably in the Daihatsu Terios. There is plenty of boot space which really increases the mini mud practicality of the plugger.



The 1,5 litre petrol powerplant is not particularly economical because it struggles to keep pace with faster traffic and really needs to be worked extremely hard if you are to eke out any performance at all. This means engine noise is a constant bugbear.

The sprint from 0 to 60 mph takes the best part of 13 sec while maximum speed is reached at less than 100 mph.
Daihatsu Terios plans to introduce a diesel engine within 2 years, possibly the 1,4 litre D-4D of the Toyota which should at least provide more pulling power and improved economy. Despite its elevated stance, the Daihatsu Terios drives well and its road biased suspension provides agile handling andstable cornering.
