The Daihatsu Xenia has long been a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a reliable and affordable vehicle. The latest iteration of this beloved model, the Xenia Dual VVT-i, continues to uphold its reputation for value while introducing several enhancements that make it an even more compelling option in the competitive automotive market.
A Fresh Look with Enhanced Features
The new Xenia sports a refreshed exterior that exudes a more modern and sporty vibe. It retains its familiar profile but adds a touch of aggression with a dual-port diamond-pattern front grille and blacked-out foglight bezels. Higher-grade variants boast a subtle body kit that accentuates the vehicle’s sportier leanings.
Inside, the Xenia’s cabin mirrors the exterior’s sporty aesthetic with red accents adorning the dashboard, aircon vents, engine start/stop button, and fabric seats. It’s equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system, digital manual air-conditioning, power-folding side mirrors, rear aircon vents with adjustable fan speed, and a 360-degree camera for a comprehensive driving experience.
Power and Efficiency
Under the hood lies the heart of the Xenia Dual VVT-i: a choice of two engines that balance power and efficiency. The 1.3-liter variant delivers 98 PS and 121 Nm of torque, while the 1.5-liter option ups the ante with 106 PS and 137 Nm of torque. Both engines are mated to either a five-speed manual or a CVT with sequential shifting, providing smooth and responsive power delivery.
Safety as a Priority
Safety is paramount in the new Xenia, which comes equipped with Daihatsu’s Advanced Safety Assist (ASA). This suite of intelligent safety features includes a pre-collision system, front departure alert, leading vehicle departure warning, lane-departure assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear-cross traffic alert—ensuring peace of mind for both driver and passengers.
Conclusion
The Xenia Dual VVT-i is more than just an affordable option; it’s a testament to Daihatsu’s commitment to delivering quality vehicles that meet the needs of modern drivers. With its blend of style, performance, and safety, the Xenia is set to continue its legacy as a family-friendly vehicle that doesn’t compromise on value or driving pleasure.
