DAIHATSU DIVA
DAIHATSU DIVA
According to the marketing manager of Daihatsu SA, Braam Faul, the challenge with cars is the fact that they are generally designed by men and for men. "It's rare to find a vehicle that has been specifically created to address the needs of women," he comments.
Hence the introduction of the Diva - a delectable offering aimed squarely at damsels and yes... you guessed it... the occasional diva too. In crafting the Diva, Daihatsu started with a vehicle that already held enormous appeal to the female market. "The Terios has long been a firm favourite of female buyers - for a number of important reasons," explains Faul.
Like most women - who use technology to enhance their lives - the Terios Diva is equipped with an impressive array of high-tech features. These include Bluetooth, iPod Support, steering wheel controls, an in-dash GPS, reverse camera, DVD/CD/MP3 Playback and USB support. Its built-in hard drive allows the driver to store up to 60 songs.
Safety is massively important to members of the fairer sex. Therefore, the Diva scores 10 out of 10 in this department, boasting a veritable arsenal of safety features. These include unrivalled all-round visibility, a reversing camera, driver and passenger airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, smash and grab ISOFIX baby seat mounting points, a crash sensing fuel cut off system, front seatbelts (three-point ELR with pre-tensioners and force limiters), rear seatbelts (three-point ELR) and high-level brake light. These features have earned the Diva a 4-Star Euro NCAP safety rating.
The Terios Diva is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine, which delivers 77 kW of power and 140 Nm of torque. It offers more than enough power for daily commuting and, significantly, it is economical too - meaning trips to the petrol station are few and far between. This engine is coupled to a five-speed manual transmission.
