Daihatsu Ayla

The Daihatsu Ayla is a city car designed by Daihatsu and manufactured by Astra Daihatsu Motor in Indonesia since 2013, primarily developed for emerging markets. The Ayla has also been sold by Toyota (Daihatsu's parent company since 2016) as the Toyota Agya in Indonesia, South Africa, Tunisia and Americas (except North America), and the Toyota Wigo in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Brunei and Vietnam through an OEM agreement. The car is also slightly reengineered and manufactured in Malaysia by Perodua as the Perodua Axia. The first-generation Ayla and Agya were first unveiled at the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show in September 2012 and went on sale a year later, in September 2013. The second-generation models were unveiled in February 2023 and went on sale a month afterwards. The name Ayla was taken from the Sanskrit word meaning 'light', while Agya means 'fast'. The name was chosen to comply with the Indonesian government-endorsed Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) tax exemption program which requires an Indonesian-inspired name. The program also requires for an Indonesian-inspired badge to be used, with the Ayla using an A-shaped front logo while the Agya for the Indonesian market opting for a Garuda-inspired front badge (except for the second-generation Agya GR Sport which is not eligible for the LCGC program).

First generation (B100; 2013)

The first-generation Ayla and Agya was first announced and displayed at the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show in September 2012 as Daihatsu and Toyota's joint response to the Indonesian government's plan for the Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) program which eliminates luxury goods tax for eligible vehicles. The ratification of the LCGC program by the government was delayed by a year, which also delayed the mass production and market launch in September 2013.

The second-generation Agya was unveiled in Indonesia on 13 February 2023, followed by the Ayla on 15 February. Sales were commenced at the 2nd Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week on 10 March 2023. The cars shared the same DNGA-A platform with the A200 series Rocky crossover SUV, resulting in a longer body and wheelbase. The development of the second-generation Ayla and Agya was paralleled with the second-generation Perodua Axia, and was led by chief engineer Toshihiro Nakaho from Daihatsu.
