The 1997-1999 Daihatsu Terios J100, marketed as the "Rocky" in some markets, was a compact SUV introduced by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu. It was the first generation of the Terios line, and featured a distinctive boxy design with a relatively short wheelbase, making it highly maneuverable in tight spaces. The J100 model was available in both three-door and five-door configurations, offering seating for four or five passengers, respectively. Power came from a 1.3L petrol engine, coupled with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic gearbox. The Terios was known for its off-road capabilities, boasting a decent ground clearance and a four-wheel drive system that could be switched on the fly. However, it was primarily marketed as an urban vehicle, offering a comfortable ride and decent fuel economy for its size. The 1997-1999 Daihatsu Terios J100 was a popular choice for its practicality and affordability, offering a balance of space, functionality, and driving comfort. It was particularly appealing to owners who needed a vehicle that could handle city driving as well as occasional light off-road excursions. Despite its compact size, the Terios offered a surprising amount of interior space, with a spacious rear passenger area that could comfortably accommodate adults. The vehicle also featured a relatively high ride height, providing good visibility and ease of ingress and egress. Whilst its off-road capabilities were more suited for light trails and uneven terrain, the Terios' rugged design and 4WD system made it a capable vehicle for tackling challenging conditions. Overall, the 1997-1999 Daihatsu Terios J100 was a versatile and well-designed SUV that offered a unique blend of features and capabilities, making it a popular choice for a wide range of drivers.
