Daihatsu HVS Concept sketchThe HVS is a lightweight sports car that reconciles environmentally friendly performance with the driving pleasure.

It combines a 1.5-litre engine and an advanced electrically operated 4WD hybrid system to draw out the potential of hybrid technology.

The result is a powerful and exhilarating drive reminiscent of a 2-litre car but with fuel economy exceeding that of a conventional 1-litre car.

The rear electric motor transmits power via a drive-control mechanism that drives the left and right wheels separately for increased stability during high-speed cornering.

The D-Compact 4X4 is Daihatsu's proposal for a new compact SUV with a dynamic and sophisticated styling.

It is designed for SUV performance and ease of use in the city.

According to Daihatsu, the newly developed 1.5-litre engine should provide good acceleration in all speed ranges.
