The Daihatsu Sportrak, also known as the Daihatsu Terios in some markets, is a compact SUV first introduced in 1997. The Sportrak, particularly the 1997 model, embodies the spirit of early compact SUVs, offering a balance of practicality and off-road capability for a relatively affordable price. Sporting a boxy, utilitarian design, the Sportrak boasts a rugged aesthetic with high ground clearance, a short wheelbase, and a sturdy frame, making it suitable for tackling light off-road trails. Under the hood, the 1997 Sportrak is powered by a 1.3-liter, four-cylinder petrol engine, offering decent performance for its size. This engine is known for its reliability and fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for everyday driving. Despite not being a luxury vehicle, the Sportrak provided a spacious cabin with seating for five, offering ample cargo space for luggage or camping gear.

The 1997 Daihatsu Sportrak was targeted towards families and individuals seeking a smaller, more affordable alternative to larger SUVs. Its compact size and maneuverability proved to be an advantage in urban environments, while its rugged build and capable four-wheel drive system offered an escape from the daily grind on weekends. Although not as sophisticated as modern SUVs, the Sportrak stood out for its simple design, reliable performance, and affordable price. The 1997 Sportrak, however, never achieved the same popularity or recognition as some of its Japanese SUV counterparts, such as the Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V. Nevertheless, it carved a niche for itself as a dependable, small SUV that offered practicality and affordability.
