IIMS 2014: Daihatsu CUV-2 Concept, B-segment SUV:
http://paultan.org/2014/09/19/iims-2014-daihatsu-cuv-2-concept-b-segment-crossover/
Plenty of sequels at PT Astra Daihatsu’s vast IIMS 2014 stand – you saw part three of UFC earlier today, now here’s the second episode of the CUV story. The Daihatsu CUV-2 Concept is a development of the CUV Concept from last year’s IIMS. CUV stands for Crossover Utility Vehicle.
Nothing much was revealed, although the original CUV was touted as a “new Terios”. The Daihatsu Terios was of course the donor car for our popular Perodua Kembara and short-lived Perodua Nautica, with a stretched version of the latter branded as Toyota Rush.
A step closer to reality means that the autentic CUV’s rear-hinged suicide doors make way for conventional rear doors, while round edges have been sharpened. More jewellery on the face too, while the prominent arch on the tailgate is no more. The C pillars have been blacked out.
It’s likely that the CUV-2 is a design study on the path of the B-segment crossover. Started by the Nissan Juke, this class includes cars like the Ford EcoSport, Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur, all raised hatchbacks based on B-segment superminis (Fiesta, 208 and Clio respectively).
Hyundai is also jumping on the bandwagon with the ix25, while Suzuki has revived the Vitara name for its contender. One that’s coming soon to Malaysia is the Honda HR-V, a crossover that sits on the City/Jazz platform.
It’s a hot segment, and there’s no reason why Daihatsu, which is very strong in Indonesia and Malaysia (via Perodua) shouldn’t venture into it. A modern Kembara anyone?

IIMS 2014: Daihatsu UFC-3 Concept – a junior Avanza?
Greetings from Jakarta, where the press day of the 2014 Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) kicked off earlier today. The annual show in this sprawling capital is as vibrant as the Indonesian car market itself, which is set to overtake Thailand as the largest in ASEAN. It’s still held at the JI Expo in Kemayoran, but the show is fast outgrowing the venue.
Daihatsu, a big player in Indonesia, has one of the biggest stands in JI Expo, and the small car expert is showing a couple of concept cars here, some of which are pretty large in size. We start off with the Daihatsu UFC-3 Concept, mid-size three-row MPV around the size of a Perodua Alza.
If the name sounds familiar, the UFC-3 is a development of the UFC-2 Concept that was on show at last year’s IIMS. The original UFC made its debut here in 2012. Compared to the UFC-2, the third concept looks immediately more feasible and less experimental. There’s still plenty of showcar bling, but it’s now possible to envisage a production version of the UFC. By the way, UFC stands for Ultra Function Compact.
The showcar was locked but we managed to snap some pics of the cabin, which like the exterior, has showcar gloss over a production-looking basic design. The gear knob is located on the centre console, Perodua-style, while the head unit has the “floating” effect that’s in vogue now.
The local word is that the UFC-3 previews an upcoming “adik Xenia”. The Xenia is a Daihatsu badged Toyota Avanza, the leader in the Low MPV segment that also counts the Suzuki Ertiga, Chevrolet Spin and latest Honda Mobilio as members.
If Daihatsu is indeed planning a cheaper MPV below the Xenia, the UFC could be a Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) budget-MPV rival to the Datsun GO+ Panca, launched earlier this year with prices starting from 85 million Rupiah (RM23,885). Could it also form the basis of the next Perodua Alza? Like what you see?
