Under the hood, the J100 Terios housed a 1.3-liter, four-cylinder engine, delivering a modest power output while prioritizing fuel efficiency.

It featured a spacious cabin that could accommodate four passengers, and its practicality was further enhanced by a surprisingly large cargo space. The Terios was a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a reliable and economical vehicle that could handle varied driving scenarios. The J100 model's success paved the way for the development of subsequent generations, building upon its strengths and enhancing its capabilities. As a result, the Daihatsu Terios solidified its position as a reputable and versatile compact SUV that offered a compelling blend of practicality, affordability, and off-road capability.
