Following a leaked product video of the new Avanza, now it’s the turn of the 2016 Daihatsu Xenia to go on the Internet before it’s supposed to. Called the “Great New Xenia,” the rebadged Avanza has popped up on Indonesian site AutonetMagz. Design-wise, the seven-seater is identical to the upcoming Toyota Avanza facelift shown earlier.
A great many variants of the Xenia will be offered: the top-of-the-line Type R Sporty, Type R (not that kind of Type R), Type X Deluxe and M Deluxe as well as Type X, M and D. So there is no shortage of choices for when the Xenia gets introduced in Indonesia.
The report also adds that the Great New Xenia will have a touchscreen head unit for the Type R Sporty variant, while the Type M, 1.0 litre version will come with double-blower air-con for rear passengers. Like the new Avanza, the Great New Xenia is said to have a new reinforced chassis and better cabin sound insulation.
Daihatsu’s very own (sort of) MPV is slated to have an Indonesian market introduction on August 12, the same date in which Toyota will officially launch the Avanza in Indonesia as well. Being a Daihatsu, it will be priced more affordably than the Toyota Avanza, as it always has been in Indonesia. A Daihatsu Great New Xenia, anyone?

Are you macai?
When the car model is good, everyone rebadge/copy it, Avanza/Myvi/Alza is one the example.
The so called Malaysian Pride Iriz with ‘awesome’ quality… can’t even cross the border to Thailand or Singapore.
Improved absorber resulting in less bouncy?
Are you talking about car boot seats?
it will always as bouncy as the car boot of your sedan car.. Putting things upright @ car boot, reached destination, it become flat layed down.
So similar inside and outside for Daihatsu Xenia & Toyota Avanza in Indonesia? The price different is only due to branding?
1. Daihatsu Xenia and Toyota avanza, has different features.
2. Daihatsu Xenia, has been selling with 1.0L and 1.3L engine. only 1.3L getting new Dual VVt-i.
3. Avanza, got 2 version.
Avanza and Avanza Veloz.
now, updating with 1.3 dual vvt-i and 1.5 dual vvt-i.
the rear light design reminds me of a bmw, awesome!
Nothing but ugly lamps
boring
Current one looks better.This facelift makes me feel like wanna vomit
Why not?It is identical inside out except for badging.Should brought this in instead of the Alza.Badged as Perodua.After all they are under the same roof.If Perodua bring this I will get this rather than the Alza simply because this one has double blower and better people carrier.Moreover the manual version has much better gearshift quality compare to Alza.
Both suck
The name reminds me of Xenia Onatopp.This car will “squeeze” you.
A touch screen is good for telephones and PCs but to take the eyesight of the driver away from the road is very hazrdous. Better some switches or push-buttons that a driver can operate by feel, forget touch screens, downright dangerous.
