Daihatsu "Taft" partially improved from 1,435,500 yen, including special edition for weekend leisure

If you want to enjoy outdoor activities on holidays, a vehicle that can handle rough roads without going all out on an SUV and can also be used for daily driving would be ideal. The partially improved Daihatsu light crossover "Taft" perfectly matches such needs. The special edition also piques interest.

Choose your style! Two uniquely customized special editions

Typically used for city driving, but on weekends, you want to venture into nature. To support such an active lifestyle, the light crossover "Taft" has been partially modified, and two special editions, "Rugged Venture" and "Active Mode," have been released.

The "Rugged Venture" is equipped with black-based front and rear under-garnishes and specially designed black aluminum wheels, creating a sturdy appearance that is typical of off-roaders. Meanwhile, the "Active Mode" combines smoke chrome garnishes with gunmetal wheels, presenting a strong yet urban look.

A trunk space that is easy to use provides peace of mind even in muddy outdoor activities and leisure. The new special edition model comes standard with a "removable luggage underbox" that allows you to toss in dirty gear or wet luggage without worry.

Even if you place wet rainwear or muddy trekking shoes directly inside, you can detach the box and rinse it off. There’s no need to worry about dirtying your precious car. Furthermore, you can effectively utilize the underfloor space in the cargo area, making it easy to organize items accumulated from everyday shopping.

Turning left or right at intersections is also worry-free! Safe driving with Smart Assist

What’s reliable during your journey to unfamiliar areas or busy outdoor spots is the latest preventive safety features. The "Smart Assist" equipped in the Taft has evolved to detect oncoming cars when turning right at intersections, as well as crossing pedestrians and even cyclists when making left or right turns.

Additionally, the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) designed to reduce fatigue during long-distance driving on highways has also been upgraded. The accuracy of preceding vehicle detection has improved, providing smoother and more natural behavior. You can safely deliver your important family members and friends to your destination.
