Still, the model was considered too rustic, still not possessing rear doors in the long wheel base model, and Daihatsu declined to replace it, concentrating on smaller automobiles.

The petrol engine was enlarged to 2.2 L, with a small power hike to 91 PS (67 kW), while the 2.8 Turbo Diesel was fitted with an intercooler, resulting in a power increase to 102 PS (75 kW). Among the evolutions was the replacement of the early leaf spring axles by independent suspension on four wheels. The second generation Daihatsu Fourtrak was introduced in 1993 and available for export the following year.

The second generation Daihatsu Sportrak was introduced in 1993 but differed little from the original model, retaining the same chassis and Toyota 1.6 L engine, although the carburettor model was dropped from the Japanese lineup, only the 95/105 PS engine remaining in the lineup.

After this was replaced in late 2006, the production line was shifted to Malaysia

Three Cylinder, Twin Cam With Dynamic Variable Valve Timing Daihatsu has long experience in the art of producing efficient small capacity To put this into context, the manual's figures precisely match the 1.4 litre 75 PS Peugeot 206. As for acceleration, the new Charade is also in a class of its own with 0-62 mph times of 12.2 seconds for the manual and 15 seconds for the automatic. Naturally, the new car complies with Euro4 emission standards.

Its CO2 exhaust emissions are an ultra low 140 g/km. Not to be outdone, the Daihatsu Charade automatic is also a class leader with Urban/Extra Urban and Combined fuel economy figures of 38.7/55.4 and 47.9 mpg. In fact, the Daihatsu Charade manual's emissions of 114 g/km qualifies the owner for the lowest possible Road Fund Licence charge of £70 for 12 months (AA band up to 120 g/km). All its city car rivals are substantially slower, failing to remotely match the Daihatsu Charade manual's 99.4 mph top speed or automatic's 93.1 mph maximum and with much higher CO2 exhaust emissions.

The 58.9 mpg figure is a staggering 14.1 mpg better than the Hyundai Amica 1.0, 11.8 mpg superior to a Fiat Seicento and leads the SEAT Arosa 1.0 litre by 11.2 mpg. For example, the Daihatsu Charade is the UK's No 1 four seater for petrol engine economy with Urban/Extra Urban and Combined figures of 47.1/68.9 and 58.9 mpg in manual form. Ignoring hybrids, the Daihatsu Charade has arguably the world's most efficient 1.0 litre petrol engine with an unrivalled fuel economy, exhaust emission and performance combination.

Complementing this are especially large 16 ins wheels for all models with either 215/65R tyres for the entry level Terios 1.5 S manual and higher spec SE automatic or beefy Meanwhile, the wheelbase at 2,580 mm grows by 180 mm. Greatly boosting the new Terios's tough, stable stance are front and rear tracks measuring 1,450 and 1,480 mm respectively a massive 145 and 170 mm greater than before. The entry level S model which lacks roof rails is actually 5 mm lower than before.

It is 45 mm higher but purely because of its standard roof rails. Compared to the previous model, the Daihatsu Terios 1.5 SX is 230 mm longer at 4,075 mm and a significant 190 mm wider at 1,745 mm. Its turning circle is a tight 9.8 metres (kerb to kerb) for the S and SE and a still hatchback like 10 metres for the bigger tyred SX, while the SX body length is between that of the new Renault Clio and larger Megane. Designed to appeal to young families and older people seeking the traditional 4x4 qualities of visibility, bad weather traction and versatility, the Daihatsu Terios also offers small car running costs and manoeuvrability.

Its roomy, four door, five seat body succeeds in being compact yet practical, avoiding the bulk, high fuel consumption and negative image of some 4x4s. Arguably the most stylish small 4x4 on the market, the totally new Daihatsu Terios has a dynamic, fun to drive appearance with strong off road styling cues yet short front and rear overhangs, a long wheelbase and especially wide tracks and body width.
