Featuring the Sporza Limited Package (Black Stripe)

Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Daihatsu”) has added a new “D-tune Edition” manufacturer’s option to the Boon CILQ, the luxury grade of the Boon compact passenger car. The new option will go on sale nationwide on July 2.

Fully redesigned in April 2016, the Boon is a compact passenger car that incorporates the knowhow Daihatsu has cultivated in its development of mini passenger vehicles; the Boon CILQ is the luxury grade of the model. In October 2017, Daihatsu released the “Sporza Limited Package (Black Stripe/Red Stripe),” an accessory package that provided the car with a sporty appearance.

While the Sporza Limited Package enhanced the exterior appearance of the Boon CILQ, Daihatsu has now launched the D-tune Edition^*1, which promises nimble urban driving, for customers who desire more sporty driving performance. By lowering the final CVT gear by approximately 20 percent, acceleration has been improved at the low speeds typical of urban driving. This has led to an approximately 8-percent reduction in the time taken to reach 40 km/h from a standing start, with an approximately 10-percent reduction in the time taken to accelerate from 40 to 80 km/h^*2.

Going forwards, Daihatsu intends to continue to cater to the needs of its customers by providing a rich variety of products and options in its line-up.
