Design

Externally, the car was like “Daihatsu Istory”. We can say that two  exactly the same car as their only differences were in the logo on the hood and the trunk lid. In General, the product design was very original. Ahead of the rounded shape of the bumper and almond-shaped headlights the main light in harmony with a miniature radiator grille and wide chrome molding that is, moving away from “Chuck”, becoming narrower and narrower.

Because Of this excessive originality in the design of the level of sales of new products was not balanced, so in 2001 the ‘Toyota Duet” was subjected to the first restyling.

In this «clothes» car made to this day. Major changes were made, optics (now on the hosted machine teardrop headlamps) and the grille. The bumper became more solid, there were holes for air intake, and rear view mirrors began to paint under the body color. Chrome molding was still housed on the machine. Despite the global changes, the dimensions of the vehicle remained the same. A compact car had all the same body dimensions: length-366, width of 160 and a height of 145 centimeters.

Since 1998, the year, the city five-door hatchback staffed by one three-cylinder petrol engine with capacity of 1000 «cubes». Later cars "Toyota Duet” began to be produced with the new power unit, already on four cylinders. With its working volume of 1.3 liters, it gave 81 horsepower power.
