The Daihatsu Taft is a mini crossover that has been in production since 1974, combining the ruggedness, practicality, and versatility that has made it a popular SUV in Japan. Designed to be a "Tough & Almighty Fun Tool", the Taft looks inspired by the Suzuki Jimny and Suzuki Hustler, with the same boxy shape and rugged avatar. Its exterior design exudes the toughness and power essential to SUVs through its square body, high minimum ground clearance, and large tyres. The Taft competes with the Toyota Raize, Mazda CX-3, Suzuki Ignis, Subaru Rex, Suzuki Jimny, and Mitsubishi eK X.
