The second generation of the Daihatsu Terios first appeared at the 2005 Tokio Auto Show in the form of the D-Concept 4x4, while production for the road version started a year later.
It is almost 20 centimeters wider than the first kei car based generation, its new dimensions making it a compact SUV. On its Japanese home market the Terios is now sold as either the Daihatsu Be-go or as the Toyota Rush, while on the rest of the markets it kept its original name. Its engine choices are a 1.3 liter and a 1.5 liter, both of them being offered as either FWD or AWD, with a five speed manual or a four speed automatic.
