Daihatsu Terios

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 name "Terios" is originated from the Old Greek word, which is roughly translated to "making dreams come true".

[9] In 2000, Daihatsu gave the Terios a mild facelift both in the exterior and interior of the vehicle.

The interior was updated with metallic paint finish on the centre console and dashboard.

In July 2004, the Kembara CT Elegance was unveiled and came with ABS, front dual airbags, leather seats, different designed alloy rim, flat type side step and cubic printing cluster.

[10] In Indonesia, a version of the Terios is known as the Daihatsu Taruna (chassis code: F500/F520), with a different front/rear styling and longer rear-based body capable of seating seven people.

There were also CSR and FGZ special grades, which were similar to CSX and FGX, with a 1589 cc HD-E petrol engine with electronic fuel injection.

[23] In European, South American and most other Asian markets, the model is sold under the name Terios.

[24] According to the company, the name "Rush" is inspired from a "sense of energetic vitality and cheerfulness".

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.

[26][27][28][29] The second-generation Terios and first-generation Rush were both launched in Indonesia on 14 December 2006, with the former succeeded the Taruna.

The Terios and Rush received their first facelift on 5 and 6 October 2010 respectively, equipped with dual SRS airbags as standard.

On 20 March 2015, both the Terios and Rush received their second facelift, consisted of projector headlamps 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.

[32] In Singapore, the Terios is offered by the local distributor in both short- and long-wheelbase configurations with an 1.5-litre engine and as a 4WD as standard.

Elsewhere, there is a new integrated chrome lining highlight running across the headlamp and radiator grille, restyled tail lamps with combination LEDs and smoked lenses.

The 1.5S has additional equipment including fog lamps, chrome covers for the wing mirrors, and leather steering wheel and gear knob.

[36] Perodua launched the rebadged version of the short-wheelbase Terios, called Nautica in May 2008.

It has a 1.5-litre DVVT engine, full-time 4WD, projector headlamps, and five seats with dark interior.

[38] The reason for the discontinuation was because as a national car company focused on local manufacturing, Perodua was unable to obtain sufficient necessary Approved Permits for vehicle importation, as the Nautica was imported in CBU form from Japan.

[50][51][52][53] The development of the car was led by chief engineer Eiji Fujibayashi in 2015, with its design influenced from the FT Concept.

[93] On 15 July 2019, Toyota had announced that around 60,000 units of the Indonesian market Rush manufactured from December 2017 to February 2019 would be recalled due to a problem regarding the airbags.

An impact on the rear wheel when passing a pothole or dent may be misinterpreted as a collision, which may cause deployment of the side curtain airbags.
