Vintage Models and Latest Concepts Share the Stage


Under the theme "Light you up – Be yourself, together, lightly –", Daihatsu exhibited four concept models making their world debut and one making its Japan debut.


A highlight is the "DN Compagno," a modern interpretation of the "Compagno" that debuted in 1963 with its compact and stylish design. Featuring an exterior with a sleek, beautiful shooting line on a bright red body, and a spacious interior package exuding quality, it was developed to enrich the active senior's fulfilling second life. The powertrain is envisioned as a 1-liter turbo (a 1.2-liter hybrid is also possible). Its appearance alongside the original Compagno sedan will strongly appeal to vintage car enthusiasts.
