Toyota, which owns Daihatsu, will have its own version of the compact SUV that is expected to act as a replacement to the popular Toyota Rush. Bear in mind Toyota Rush is a sister product of Daihatsu Terios.

The production-spec compact SUV will carry over the concept’s dimensions and rugged styling including the LED headlamps & LED fog lamps, black roof, along with black cladding on both bumpers and the sides. The SUV will be based on Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA), which is a version of Toyota’s modular TNGA platform and will be positioned as “new global model” to be sold in more markets than the current Rush/ Terios.
