Daihatsu cars for sale in South Africa

Daihatsu Terios

If you’re in the market for an affordable SUV that has real off-road ability, the Daihatsu Terios 4X4 variant is ideal. The Daihatsu Terios 4X4 off-road weighs 1160kg and is 4055mm long and boasts permanent all-wheel drive (60% front bias), with a centre differential lock that can divide power evenly between the front and rear wheels. It also boasts ground clearance of 225mm. The Daihatsu Terios has always been a bit of an outsider. As an SUV, it’s smaller than average, has less than impressive engine capacity on paper, and is generally seen as a budget-friendly option. In the off-roading world, the 4×4 enthusiasts usually have a good snigger when someone shows up in a Terios. It doesn’t have low range, and only has a centre diff lock, and this makes it the lightweight of the off-roading fraternity. Yet somehow the Terios has found great resonance with South Africans looking for a comfortable, capable and affordable SUV – it’s a great all-rounder. Fitted with a 1.5 litre engine, the Off-road edition includes a touchscreen DVD player and GPS navigation system. It also has other luxuries such as Bluetooth, USB and MP3 capability. Other models in the range are: Terios 1.5, 1.5 Special Edition, and 1.5 Diva
