Yep, again, guys from Daihatsu Indonesia have proved themselves capable of hosting a great show. We, as admirers of Daihatsu, are envying Indonesian people to have a chance to experience such a great show with all the activity going on and the chance to see the exciting concept cars. I wish I had been there. Oh well, maybe next time I am sure next one will be even better. Be sure to add Daihatsu Indonesia’s Facebook Account as a friend which is full of exciting information and even more photos from the event!

Now we know why this car is so cute, so spacious, so fast and so reliable at the same time, because it is not from this world TV commercials from Japan, at Sirion’s launch:

Daihatsu Unveiled the Third Generation Sirion

Umut Gultekin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:32:24 +0000

Daihatsu launched today the third generation of its popular hatchback Sirion (AKA Boon). Although I still like the first generation better, this one seems to have a little more character than its predecessor.

Following specifications apply to Boon only (JDM). We should probably expect changes on the engine and transmission for different markets (especially for Europe).

Daihatsu and Toyota teamed up for the recreation of the Sirion/Boon/Passo, with all models now boasting higher fuel efficiency and lower emissions through the adoption of CVT and many other changes.

The new car will be available with either a 1.0-liter or a 1.3-liter engine. The 4-speed automatic transmission seems to be retired. All models (including 4WD versions) are now coming with a CVT transmission. The 1.0 liter uses the 1KR-FE that produces 69 PS (51kW) at 6,000rpm and 92Nm of torque at 3,600rpm.

K3-VE engine has been replaced with 1.3-liter 1NR-FE. The new engine has dual variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust valves. Its power output is 95 PS (70kW) at 6,000rpm and 121Nm of torque at 4,000rpm.

1KR-FE (1,000cc)’s fuel consumption is only 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers.

The new car’s wheelbase is 2,440mm. It suggests that the most of the platform has carried over since the old car’s wheelbase was exactly the same.

New Agressive Look for the New Sirion

Daihatsu is dressing up its Sirion with an aggressive looking body-kit along with a makeup Irony huh? If they would throw in a K3-VET into the deal, I might be game. Until then, it is still a girls car, no matter how aggressive it may look. Here are the photos:
