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 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".

Engine and Transmission

1500cc CVVT 4 inline cylinders, EFI, 4 gears Automatic or 5 gears manual transmission.

Performance

Accelaration is poor due to the little horse power offered by the 1500cc's, hardly enough to power an all time 4X4 SUV, with only 4 gears [for automatic transmission] and no tiptronic control it hardly competes with anything else on the road, that and that fact that top speed is 150 KM/H [automatic] or 160 KM/H [Manual] the Terios is definately no runner. Handling is ok for an SUV and so is braking, still not the best braking power perhaps because of the light weight [1170 KG]. The car offroads great, being a light-weight 4x4 it is not easy to get stuck in the sands no matter how soft they can be. Also a very important missing feature is cruise control.

Unique Attributes

Interior

Interior design is not the best, compared to compact SUVs in the same category such as the Suzuki Vitara, the Terios is much less attractive and offers overall less quality. However it is fair to say controls are accessible and well distributed. One major design flaw is the inability to shut the ventilation ducts in the centre, though vents on the left and right can be open or shut as well as redirected. Trip computer is handy but not very accurate when it comes to feul consumption calculation or the showing altitude. One advantage is interior light distribution, very efficient and accessible for both front and rear seats, there is a small light bulb for the storage area which turns on when the back door is open, alas it has no switch and can not be turned on or off on demand. The back seat can be folded to give more space to the storage area which is great, and fairly easy to do.

Third generation (F800/F850; 2017-present)

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 second generation model, 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.

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 are offered only in the seven-seat variant, configured in 2-3-2 layout, with the second row following a 60:40 split, while the third row is 50:50. 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 is available in 2 grade levels: X and R, with each grade level has a "Deluxe" variant. In August 2018, the "Custom" variant went available for the R grade. The X grade is only available with manual transmission, while the R grade, as well as the X Deluxe, R Deluxe and R Custom variants are available with either manual or automatic transmission.

The Rush was initially available in 2 grade levels: 1.5 G and 1.5 TRD Sportivo, with either manual or automatic transmission.

On 9 August 2021, the TRD Sportivo grade of the Rush was renamed to GR Sport and received redesigned front and rear bumper spoilers, redesigned side body moulding with GR logo and "GR Sport" emblem on the tailgate. The Rush was also updated with automatic idling stop system for both G and GR Sport grades.

In May 2022, the GR Sport grade was launched which replaced the previous top-spec G grade. The Rush was also updated with an updated 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as standard for both the E and GR Sport grades.[

Jamaica

The Rush was released in Jamaica on 8 July 2018. Only a seven-seater version is available.

Second generation (J200/F700; 2006-2018)

The concept model called D-Compact 4x4 made an appearance in September 2005 at the 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, 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 front bumper, tail lamps, alloy wheel design for the G grade and a 5% improvement for fuel economy for the 2WD automatic model.[25] The Be‣go and Rush were discontinued in March 2016 and succeeded by the A200 series Rocky/Toyota Raize crossover in November 2019.

Indonesia

On 14 December 2006, Daihatsu and Toyota launched the second generation Terios and first generation Rush in Indonesia. Both cars were sold in long wheelbase configuration and rear-wheel drive layout only.[1] The difference between the Terios and Rush: the Terios is designed for seven people and the Rush is designed for five people only, therefore the Rush lacks third-row seating (although third-row seat is available as a dealer option). Both cars also have different rim design, with six-spoke wheel from JDM version of the Rush installed on the pre-facelift Terios and five-spoke wheel from European market Terios installed on the pre-facelift Rush. On 1 October 2008, the Indonesian-market Terios received improvements such as body-coloured side body mouldings as standard on all variants and grade levels, as well as side visors, single airbags on the driver's side, and parking sensors, followed by the Rush in August 2009. The Terios and Rush received its first facelift on 5 and 6 October 2010, respectively, equipped with dual airbags as standard.

At launch in Indonesia until 2015, the Terios initially came with the TS, TS Deluxe, TS Extra, TX Deluxe, TX Elegant (until 2008) and TX Adventure grade levels. In 2015, the variants were renamed to X, X Extra, R and R Adventure. TS/X and TS/X Extra have some similarities apart from parking sensor, wheel hub and automatic transmission. While Terios TX/R have some more noticeable differences, such as bodykit design (TX/R Adventure) and wheel arches, alloy wheels, spoiler as standard (previous TX grade was optional) and satellite navigation with DVD player double DIN stereo, rear parking camera and HDMI input. The Rush initially came with two grade levels: G and S. The S grade of the Rush was later replaced by the TRD Sportivo grade on 29 August 2013, while the Terios received minor facelifts.

On 20 March 2015, the Terios and Rush received its second facelift. The second facelift models brought new projector head lamps with LED positioning lamps, a wider grille with a chrome lower bar, a full-width air intake for the lower bumper and a blacked-out centre piece. For the interior, both Terios and Rush shared the same steering wheel as the F650 series Xenia/Avanza, a redesigned instrument cluster, updated seat upholstery, reshaped second-row headrests and double DIN touchscreen DVD head units on higher grade levels. The grade piece is finished in gloss black for the Terios and silver for the Rush.

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 model 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.
