Toyota Cami

The Daihatsu Terios (Japanese: ダイハツ・テリオス, Hepburn: Daihatsu Teriosu) is a mini SUV produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Daihatsu since 1997 as the successor to the F300 series Rocky. It was initially offered in both short- and long-wheelbase configurations before the former stopped production in 2016 to be replaced by the A200 series Rocky crossover in 2019. The long-wheelbase variant is available mainly for the Indonesian market with three-row seating options. A smaller kei car model called it the Terios Kid/Lucia was also available for the first-generation model. Rear-wheel drive is standard across all generations, while four-wheel drive option was available for the first- and second-generation models. Since August 2016, the Terios has been sold exclusively in Indonesia. Throughout three generations, it has also been marketed by Toyota and Perodua under various nameplates as well. The name "Terios" is originated from the Old Greek word, which is roughly translated to "making dreams come true".

First generation (J100/F500; 1997)

Initially previewed as the MS-X97, the first-generation Terios was available as a five-door wagon, and a smaller kei car model called the Terios Kid, which was only released in Japan. Model codes for the first generation were J100, J102 and J122. The Terios Kid arrived in October 1998 and continued to be built six years after the original Terios had been replaced. By the end of 2002, Daihatsu sold 33,000 units of Terios and 97,000 units of Terios Kid. 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 Mechanically, the 1.3-litre SOHC four-cylinder engine fitted to the previous model had been replaced by the new 1.3-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine.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; 4 PS). 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 is the first Daihatsu automobile to be assembled in Venezuela, where production began in November 2001.

Second generation (J200/F700; 2006)

The concept model called D-Compact 4x4 made an appearance in September 2005 at the 61st Frankfurt Motor Show and in November 2005 at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show before being named to Terios, which went into production in January 2006. The model codes are J200, J210 and J211 for the short-wheelbase configuration which has a 5-seater configuration; F700 and F710 for the long-wheelbase configuration that was built to accommodate the 7-seater configuration. It is built on a "built-in ladder frame" monocoque body, which is claimed to "achieve balance between lighter weight, higher body rigidity, and comfort". In European, Central & South American and most other Asian markets, the model is sold under the name Terios. Daihatsu designed and manufacture the Terios and also supplies the vehicle to Toyota as the Toyota Rush (Japanese: トヨタ・ラッシュ, Hepburn: Toyota Rasshu) under a consigned/OEM manufacturing agreement. According to the company, the name "Rush" is inspired from a "sense of energetic vitality and cheerfulness". Markets. ==== Japan ==== For the Japanese market, the first-generation Terios was succeeded by the Daihatsu Be‣go (Japanese: ダイハツ・ビーゴ, Hepburn: Daihatsu Bīgo) and the first-generation Toyota Rush. Both vehicles were announced on 17 January 2006. According to Daihatsu, the name "Be‣go" was derived from the combination of "being" and "going" words. The Rush was an exclusive model to the Toyopet Store dealership network. Both use either 1.3-litre or 1.5-litre engine. Only the 1.5-litre variant is available with both two- or four-wheel drive. The vehicle has a permanent 4WD system via lockable central differential. However, it lacks low ratio gears. A minor refresh of the Be‣go and Rush was unveiled on 13 November 2008 in Japan. The minor facelift brought redesigned fro

Third generation (F800/F850; 2017)

The third-generation Terios was unveiled in Indonesia on 23 November 2017, along with the second-generation Rush. The development of the car was led by chief engineer Eiji Fujibayashi in 2015, with its design influenced from the FT Concept. Unlike previous models, these generation of cars are sold in long-wheelbase configuration only and neither the short-wheelbase configuration nor four-wheel drive option are offered. It uses the same platform as the long-wheelbase version of the second-generation model, retaining the built-in ladder-frame monocoque body, albeit with some tweaks. Compared to its predecessors, the design of the car has been made more streamlined, akin to crossovers. This model has a rear liftgate rather than a side-opening rear door and no longer has the spare tyre mounted on the rear door. Both models are powered by a 1.5 L 2NR-VE engine which is also used in facelifted Toyota Avanza/Daihatsu Xenia. The model codes are F800 for the Terios/international market Rush and F850 for the Malaysian market Rush/Perodua Aruz. Markets. ==== Indonesia ==== The Indonesian market Terios/Rush went on sale on 3 January 2018. Both models are offered only in three-row configuration. With the third row backrest folded down, there are 217 L (7.7 cu ft) of storage space, which is expanded to 514 L (18.2 cu ft) when tumbled up. The Terios was initially available in 4 grade levels: X, X Deluxe, R and R Deluxe. The R Custom grade was later added in August 2018. The Rush came with G and TRD Sportivo grades. Due to high demand, the production of Terios and Rush was also conducted in Astra Daihatsu Motor's Karawang plant alongside the Sunter plant since August 2019. In August 2021, the TRD Sportivo grade of Rush was renamed to GR Sport, along with other TRD Sportivo models. Rede
