Full-scale sales of the new vehicle will be conducted in partnership with China FAW Group under the Daihatsu brand name. In addition to the D-01 new compact multi-purpose passenger car prototype, the HVS hybrid sports car, the Be-go SUV, and the Copen roadster will also be on display at the motor show. Daihatsu will emphasize the appeal and fun of compact cars as well as their environmental performance and advanced technologies. 4 comments: Daihatsu D-01 No doubt, this is the daihatsu xenia originally developed by Daihatsu Astra Indonesia since 2003-2004. It is also marketed as Toyota avanza in several Asian countries as well as sub-saharan Africa.
 I guess toyota is owning the 50% of Daihatsu, both are sharing technologies and design, IMO the D01 is based on toyota avanza.
 nothing new. it is basically an Avanza with the 4WD things on it. this certainly what i dont like companies holding major shares in some smaller car company..
