As the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show draws closer, Daihatsu has unveiled one of several show cars that will be put on display at the event. This is the DN TREC concept, a small crossover that could preview a future production model.
The company says the five-seater features a 1.2 litre petrol hybrid powertrain, although it can also be fitted with a smaller 1.0 litre turbocharged engine as well. The model is aimed at those with an active lifestyle, offering a high-quality interior and styling.
The latter includes plastic-cladding along the sides, suicide (rear-hinged) rear doors, a high ground clearance and large headlamps. Though it is being referred to as a concept, the DN TREC certainly looks to be quite production ready from the outside.
Moving inside, the concept sports a futuristic cabin, with plenty of coloured displays within angular housings. The angled centre console houses the gear selector along with controls for the infotainment system, which can also be accessed via buttons on the three-spoke steering wheel.
Looks quite promising, doesn’t it? For now, Daihatsu insists this is still a concept and we’ll have to wait for more information when the DN TREC is revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The front is SsangYong concept car SIV-2 knock-off?
Will be a nice looking car with Kimchi input
Wonder why sushi copy Kimchi now?
As I know previously Sushi used to copy Conti and then modify to look more pleasing for Asians.
This car come out and Perodua rebadge it, habis lah Boyue.
People rather take Toyota/Daihatsu quality vs China quality Boyue.
Poor Proton, banking their whole existence on one product- Boyue to save them.
According to basher logic, this car will fail kawkaw upon arrival cuz it only 5 seater. Sure kena tapau by 7seater Boyue.
Poor P2, banking their whole existence on scraps from jepunis to save them. But the car no save their owners.
7seater Honda BRV ohsemm.
This is the same guy who says Malaysia got cheapest petrol in the world and cheapest car prices in the world and gomen subsidizes our car insurance to keep premiums low
Lets give Geely…12 months.If after a year,Boyue or other rebadge models fail to prop up Protong….then let Protong go bust,BANKRUPT…..we only have perodua which may bring in bigger cc cars from Toyota/daihatsu.UMW maybe only sell 2 litre cars/mpvs/4 wheel.
For too long…Protong has been bleeding taxdollars.Li Chun Rong or even jack ma cant do much in a company that has so much interference from …( you know who).
Well, if u vote wisely, the you-know-who wun be coming back to interfere like b4.
Perodua should rebadge this!
For Malaysian market: new Perodua Kembara
For Japan, ASEAN, others: new Daihatsu Feroza
Conclusion:
Proton Boyue SUV will fail, as usual.
According to basher logic, this will fail as usual cuz it not 7seater. Boyue SUV winrar.
next-gen Perodua Kembara coming soon.
Perodua needs a B-segment crossover. The above DN TREC looks like a smaller A-segment crossover. Not a good fit at all.
As for nameplate, I would welcome it if P2 reintroduced the Kembara name instead of Nautica.
Daihatsu FX is P2 B-segment crossover. Perodua Terios
Looks like P.Kembara replacement…
Next gen Kembara was Naughtycar.
Quite similar design with Haval M4.
I wonder if Perodua will ever launch a hybrid vehicle.
Perodua should look for electric car. They should provide affordable, better technology and clean environment to Malaysian by cheaper operation cost.
rebadge pls
