EXTRA VALUE FROM LIMITED-EDITION TERIOS KIRI
EXTRA VALUE FROM LIMITED-EDITION TERIOS KIRI

DAIHATSU is offering customers extra value from its limited-edition Terios ‘Kiri’ which is being restricted to only 250 cars.

Based on the Terios 1.5 S, the Kiri adds unique metallic green paint, roof rails, special five-spoke 16 x 6-inch alloy wheels with 215/65 R16 tyres, a hard spare wheel cover, leather-covered steering wheel, front fog lamps and special Kiri graphics.

Despite the extra equipment, the Kiri costs just £13,895 on the road compared to the £12,995 OTR for the Terios 1.5 S.

Powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine, the Terios Kiri returns 40.4mpg on the Extra Urban Cycle and boasts low emissions of 185g/km meaning the Road Fund Licence is only £170 per annum.

The award-winning Terios range has a high standard specification which includes air-conditioning, power-steering, ABS with EBD and full-time four-wheel drive with electronic centre diff-lock.

Also standard on the Terios are driver, passenger and side airbags, radio/CD player, four electric windows and even reverse parking sensors.

The Terios was voted a 4x4 Of The Year winner for the second year running by 4x4 Magazine. It now holds the title of Budget Class Winner – 2008.

All Daihatsus now come with five years’ unlimited mileage warranty plus five years’ roadside assistance. The offer runs until the end of 2008 when it will be reviewed.
