Q & A

What are the three model cars that were about to be released but are now in doubt due to the Daihatsu scandal?

The three cars are the new Moo, the new Tall, and the new Copen.

Why was the Moo model so highly anticipated?

The new Moo was going to have sliding doors instead of hinge doors, which was a surprise but seen as an appealing upgrade over the current model.

How does the new Moo compare to the Canvas in terms of interior space?

Despite having a higher roofline, the actual interior height of the Canvas is lower than the current Moo model, likely due to space taken up by the sliding door rails and components.

What makes the Roo and Taal models so popular?

The Roo and Taal have a spacious interior despite their compact size, sliding and reclining rear seats good for families, and the safety of a standard car.

What type of hybrid system is speculated for the new Roo?

It is rumored the new Roo will use Daihatsu's series hybrid system, similar to Nissan's e-Power system, which is all electric drive with the engine solely for battery charging.

How does Daihatsu's series hybrid compare to the parallel hybrid in the Suzuki Solio?

The Solio's parallel hybrid has higher fuel economy and flexibility but is heavier, more complex, and more expensive. The Roo's series hybrid focuses on electric drive and simplicity.

Why did the new concept Copen switch from FF to FR?

By becoming FR and a standard size car instead of a kei car, the Copen increases its sports car styling and appeal. It also allows for joint development with Toyota's FR S-FR concept.

Why did the Copen concept switch from manual to automatic transmission?

Daihatsu does not have its own manual transmission systems, so switching to auto makes production feasible. If co-developed with Toyota and the S-FR, manuals could be offered.

Why did the new Copen get bigger in size?

The increased size moves it out of the restrictive kei car class, allowing for higher pricing and lower volumes. It also enables export sales potential.

What hybrid power is expected for the standard Moo model?

Later on, an e-Smart mild hybrid model is rumored, with electric motor assisting the engine for very high fuel economy, potentially 30km/L.
