DAIHATSU MOTOR CO., LTD. (Daihatsu) today announced the minor redesign of the compact SUV Terios. Exports of the new Terios will commence in November, initially focusing on Europe.

The Terios (Japanese name: Be-go) was launched in February 2006 as a "tough yet casual SUV" and exports of the vehicle were begun. It won wide support among customers as a new vehicle genre that combines the drivability of an SUV and convenience of a compact vehicle with the functionality of a station wagon.

The modern, urban exterior styling and more upscale interior significantly enhance the product appeal of the new Terios. Plans call for sales of 3,500 units/month worldwide (excluding Japan).
