Daihatsu Feroza strengthened the Japanese company on the export market in 1989, and five years later, it refreshed the model.

The small off-roader from Daihatsu had a brief presence in the U.S. and the Feroza was one of the models it tried to sell. In Europe, it had a better chance due to the exterior small dimensions, fit for crowded old cities. But its abilities in city parkings and defeating curves and potholes was just one of its ability. But the biggest advantages for the Feroza were its light weight, fuel-efficiency and reliability in off-road use.
