Daihatsu Rocky Limited Edition at GIIAS – production Crossfield, two-tone Ativa twin, only 10 units, RM64k

Fans of the Daihatsu Rocky Crossfield shown at last year’s Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) now have the chance to buy essentially that at the ongoing 2025 show with the launch of the new Rocky Limited Edition. Based on the mid-spec 1.2X CVT variant, the more rugged-looking variant receives the show car’s distinctive two-tone look and a few other accoutrements.

Offered exclusively in Energetic Orange, the LE comes with matte black bumpers that are giving base model Proton Wira. That’s not exactly a desirable association, so it’s a good job Daihatsu also added a grey grille bar (with the “Daihatsu” script, which is pretty cool) and matte black “Rocky Limited Edition” graphics. A gloss black finish for the roof, door mirrors and 16-inch turbine-style alloys completes the look.

Inside, the LE gets some gloss black trim on the steering wheel, air vents, door grab handles and gear lever surround. Otherwise, the car is identical to the 1.2X CVT variant, powered by a 1.2 litre WA-VE naturally-aspirated three-cylinder engine pushing out 88 PS and 115 Nm of torque. You get LED headlights, fabric seats, a digital instrument display and a seven-inch touchscreen head unit, but just two airbags and no Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) features – not even autonomous emergency braking.

By the way, when Daihatsu says the car is limited, they mean it – just ten units are being made available exclusive at GIIAS. It’s priced at 248.8 million rupiah (RM64,400), making it 4.3 million rupiah (RM1,100) more expensive than the regular 1.2X CVT. We should point out that the Perodua Ativa starts from RM62,500, and while it doesn’t get the LE’s cool looks, even the base model comes with a turbo engine, six airbags and ASA.
