The revolution ends. Quality on this thing is very downgrade. The fuel lever and the power window switches seem from the time of the Ford Model T.
Think this mini SUV is worth the money. The size of the RiO is also very interesting.

It looks, uhm… Cute?
I Think This is Going to be a revolution as Diahatsu technology is very good in diesel as they have charade also that i am waiting for good news for economy lovers
to the blogger,
Please let your readers know that Daihatsu may have nothing to do with this car. They either sold the tooling to ZOyte or in keeping with Chinese new age trad (Indian for that matter)…they copied body panels and stuck them on a birdcage frame which will use the occupants as crumple zones. If Daihatsu sold this then they would have been an expectation of a modicum of safety…not with the players here…they would have engineered out the safety.
some of it is my opinion but then presenting the facts is your job.
great job done. good write up. when will they put it on dealerships? i would like to test drive one.
if nano is safe then why not this brother?this is a bold move which will open new segment,toyota is already planning for avanza.i read somwhere rio is selling 1 lac unit per year.
