New and used Daihatsu Information:

Daihatsu, has a tradition of making compact cars. Throughout their history they have sought ways to package dreams and practical requirements in a compact format. Given today's worsening traffic conditions, the growing population of older drivers, energy and environment-related issues and the progressive motorization of developing countries, they believe "compact" is going to be a key concept in an increasingly motorized world.

Into the 21st century, the Daihatsu goal is to produce cars that avoid imposing a burden on society or the environment while retaining their individuality and consumer appeal. At the same time, Daihatsu intend to make full use of the "compact" concept as they develop into an even more dynamic company. That's why their corporate slogan at Daihatsu is "We make it COMPACT", which signals the spirit, courage and singlemindedness with which they roll back the boundaries of the possible in a new small car.

To condense the desired features of an automobile into a compact-car format, Daihatsu utilize a full range of test equipment, test drive environments, and computer simulations during their R&D into new technology. In particular, Daihatsu are uncompromising where safety, movement, cornering, stopping and environmental impact are concerned.

Daihatsu is also involved in research into several next-generation technologies for a safer, more rewarding driving experience. These ITS (intelligent transport system), a traffic safety system of the future that will feature intelligent vehicles and utilize electronics technology, ASV (advanced safety vehicle), featuring a Rear Crash Avoidance System where functions are used for measuring and signaling the distance between cars, plus automatic breaking, and DVS (Daihatsu vehicle stability control system) for side-slip control.
