The Daihatsu Terios (Japanese: ダイハツ・テリオス, Daihatsu Teriosu) is a mini/compact SUV, first released in 1997 by the Japanese car manufacturer Daihatsu as the successor to the Rocky.

The "Terios" name is originated from the Old Greek word, which is roughly translated to "making dreams come true".

The first generation Terios was available as a five-door wagon, and a smaller kei car model called the Terios Kid, which was only released in Japan. Model codes for the first generation were J100, J102, and J122. The Terios Kid arrived in October 1998 and continued to be built six years after the original Terios had been replaced.


In 2000, Daihatsu gave the Terios a mild facelift both in the exterior and interior of the vehicle. A new chrome grille replaced the black plastic grille. The high-grade model gained electric front windows, central locking, rear seat head restraints, alloy wheels, roof rails and a roof-mounted rear spoiler. Mechanically, the 1.3-litre SOHC four-cylinder engine fitted to the previous model had been replaced by the new 1.3-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine. Power was also increased by 3 kW (4 hp; 4 PS). A sport version of the K3-VET engine was produced in Japan.

In Australia, a limited edition sports series was introduced in 2001 with only 200 units being available. The vehicle had body colour matching bumpers, different from the two-tone bumper colour on the standard model. Rear spoiler and sunroof became standard. The interior was updated with metallic paint finish on the centre console and dashboard.

This is the first Daihatsu automobile to be assembled in Venezuela, where production began in November 2001.

The first generation Terios is also known as the Toyota Cami (Japanese: トヨタ・キャミ, Toyota Kyami) in Japan.

In Malaysia, the car is locally assembled as the Perodua Kembara by Perodua. It was unveiled in August 1998. In June 2003, the Kembara was updated with DVVT engines. In July 2004, the Kembara CT Elegance was unveiled and came with ABS, front dual airbags, leather seats, different designed alloy rim, flat type side step and cubic printing cluster. It was priced at RM59,988 and only available in one colour: Klasik Gold.

In India, there is a Terios-derived vehicle known as the Premier RiO from Premier Automobiles Limited, which is a rebadged Zotye Nomad I. It is powered by a Peugeot diesel and petrol engine and since 2012 has a Fiat diesel option.

In China, it is known by two ways: one of them as under the badge as Zotye 2008 and 5008 propelled with a 1.5-litre engine provided by Mitsubishi (first series body); as an unauthorized copy of the car, which caused some controversy, and the FAW badged it as the Huali Terios or Dario. Since 2009, Daihatsu withdrew from the China market due to bad performance, and sold the tooling and rights of this car to First Auto Works (FAW), who has been their partner in China. Production for the Zotye 2008 ran from 2005 to 2010 while the 5008 was produced from 2008 to 2013.

In Indonesia, a version of the Terios is known as the Daihatsu Taruna (Japanese: ダイハツ・タルーナ, Daihatsu Tarūna) (chassis code: F500), with a different front/rear styling and longer rear-based body capable of seating seven people. The name Taruna translates roughly as "young knight" or "cadet" in Indonesian. The Taruna was launched in July 1999 with a 1589 cc HD-C petrol engine with carburetor. It was initially available in short wheelbase configuration only, the C-series. The engine was later replaced with a 1498 cc HE-E petrol engine with electronic fuel injection in 2001 and the long wheelbase configuration, the F-series, was introduced with the same HD-C engine as the 1999-2001 C-series, and later replaced with the same HE-E engine as the 2001 C-series in the same year. It is available with standard CL and FL trims; deluxe CX and FX trims; and sporty CSX and luxury FGX trims. There are also CSR and FGZ trim levels, which are similar to CSX and FGX, with a 1589 cc HD-E petrol engine with electronic fuel injection.

A refreshed version, called Taruna OXXY, was launched in March 2005.

In European, South America and most other Asian markets, the new model is sold under the name Terios. Daihatsu designed and manufacture the Terios and also supplies the vehicle to Toyota under a consigned/OEM manufacturing agreement.

The concept model called the D-Compact 4x4 made an appearance in September 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show and in November 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show before being named to Terios, which went into production in January 2006. The model codes are J200, J210 and J211 for the short wheelbase configuration; F700 and F710 for the long wheelbase configuration.

For the Japanese market, the first generation Terios was succeeded by the Daihatsu Be‣go (Japanese: ダイハツ・ビーゴ, Daihatsu Bīgo) and the first generation Toyota Rush (Japanese: トヨタ・ラッシュ, Toyota Rasshu).

Both use 1.3-litre or 1.5-litre engine. Only the 1.5-litre variant is available with both two- or four-wheel drive.

The Terios has a permanent 4WD system via lockable central differential. However, it lacks low ratio gears.

A minor refresh of the Be‣go and Rush was unveiled on 13 November 2008 in Japan. The minor facelift brought new front bumper, new taillamps, new alloy wheel design for the G trim and a 5% improvement for fuel economy for the 2WD automatic model. The Be‣go and Rush were discontinued in March 2016.

In Chile, the second generation Terios in short wheelbase was launched in 2006. It was re-branded as the Toyota Rush in August 2016, as Daihatsu left that market. It is currently the only country that still sells the first generation Rush.
