RVs, which became popular thanks to their roominess and
comfort, are now the focus even in the compact-class vehicle
market. While purchasers are offered a broad range of
choices, customers continue to be dissatisfied with the road
performance of these vehicles, and this also applies to
compact types. This made Daihatsu realize once more the
strength of the bond between cars and road performance unit,
and led it to develop the YRV as the answer to such needs.
It is a new space utility that rivals an existing RV and has
an outstanding power performance unit, all in a compact
package. The YRV is a proposal for a new category of vehicle
that offers a multipurpose utility, the handling ease of a
small car, and economy, the most important, an exhilarating
power performance.
 Has
a sporty, aerodynamic form taken from the angular styling of
existing cars. The features of the appearance are the
panoramic roof from the front window to the roof and
double-wedge style which the front of the belt line is
different from the rear.
With an overall length of 3,765 mm, width of 1,615 mm and
height of 1,550 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,370 mm, the compact
dimensions have been exploited to the full to impart a
light, unfettered feeling to the interior. Window openings
are large, and a stadium seating layout has been used, with
the rear seats set higher than the front seats. With the
front-to-back seat slide stroke of 150 mm, this emphasizes
the feeling of spaciousness and the wide sweep of the view.
The rear seat cushion can be removed to allow the seat back
to be folded down, creating a large luggage space. Close
attention has been paid to enhancing the wagon functionality
of the YRV. A bench type seat is used at the front, but
unlike a conventional bench seat, this one is sculpted to
provide the body-hugging comfort and sportiness of a bucket
seat
The YRV has a 1,300 cc twin-cam DVVT four-cylinder 16-valve
turbocharged engine. The engine is a powerful unit,
delivering a maximum output 103kW (140ps) and a maximum
torque 177N•m (18.0 kg•m). With the high-stiffness
body, the result is a sports-car like performance. An
instrument-panel shift lever is used, which feels more like
a floor-mounted shift and is easier to use than the former
column shift. The shift switch is easy to change the gear
with holding a steering wheel,when the driver change from D
range to M range.Comes fully equipped with passive and
active safety devices and features, including a crash-safety
body<TAF>, which clears 64km/hODB, soft upper
interior, a body designed to minimize injuries to
pedestrians, and DVS (ABS, traction control system,
side-slip control).
