The Daihatsu Terios, produced from 2000 to 2006, is a compact SUV that embodies the Japanese manufacturer's philosophy of practicality and affordability. It was introduced in the wake of the growing popularity of smaller, more fuel-efficient SUVs, and the Terios successfully carved out a niche for itself in the crowded market. Designed to be a versatile and maneuverable vehicle, the Terios boasts a relatively compact footprint, making it suitable for urban environments while offering enough ground clearance and driving capabilities to tackle light off-roading. Under the hood, the Terios is powered by a 1.3-liter or 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine, offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, giving drivers the choice of a more engaging or relaxed driving experience. The vehicle's suspension system, consisting of MacPherson struts in the front and a semi-independent rear suspension, provides a comfortable ride while maintaining good handling.

The Terios' interior is designed with simplicity and practicality in mind. It offers sufficient space for five occupants and includes basic amenities like air conditioning, power steering, and a CD player. The high seating position offers excellent visibility, contributing to the vehicle's overall driving comfort. However, the interior materials are not particularly luxurious, reflecting the Terios' focus on affordability. Despite its modest features, the Terios was praised for its reliability and low running costs. Its compact size and fuel efficiency made it an attractive option for budget-conscious drivers looking for a rugged and versatile vehicle. The Terios was a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a compact SUV that could handle everyday driving and occasional off-road adventures. However, it was eventually replaced by the newer generation Terios in 2006, which boasted improved styling, upgraded features, and a more potent engine. Despite being discontinued, the first-generation Terios remains a reliable and practical vehicle, particularly in regions where its compact dimensions and fuel efficiency are highly desirable.
