Daihatsu Partially Redesigns the Boon Compact Passenger Car and Adds the New Boon STYLE Model to its Line-Up

Oct. 10, 2018
Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd.

Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Daihatsu”) has partially redesigned the Boon compact passenger car, and will launch the new models nationwide on October 10.

Utilizing technologies and knowhow cultivated through its development of mini vehicles, Daihatsu developed the Boon to improve the standard of all mini vehicles and compact cars in its line-up. The first-generation Boon was launched in 2004, with the current, third-generation model being released in April 2016.

This round of partial redesign sees the establishment of a new Boon STYLE model that is unique to Daihatsu. Its soft, rounded lines give rise to a cute silhouette, white parts provide its exterior with distinctive accents, while the magenta accents added to the instrument panel and the specially designed three-tone seats create an attractive, charming interior. The Boon STYLE has been added to the existing Boon and Boon CILQ models in the Boon line-up for increased customer choice.

The Boon and Boon CILQ have also received redesign to their interiors and exteriors. While retaining its existing, familiar design, the Boon now boasts an improved sense of quality. The design of the luxury Boon CILQ has been modified to create an even more sophisticated and elegant appearance.

All three Boon models are now available with the Smart Assist III^*1 collision avoidance system—which recognizes both pedestrians and vehicles—as well as front and rear Corner Sensors^*1. They also feature Panorama Monitor^*2 for improved safety performance: four cameras relay images of all four sides of the vehicle, and a bird’s eye view is projected onto the navigation screen.

Based on its “Light you up” approach, going forwards Daihatsu will continue to provide optimal mobility to
every one of its customers, and cater to their needs via its extended range of mini and compact vehicles.
