The Daihatsu Ayla is a city car designed by Daihatsu and manufactured by Astra Daihatsu Motor in Indonesia since 2013, primarily developed for emerging markets. The Ayla has also been sold by Toyota (Daihatsu's parent company since 2016) as the Toyota Agya in Indonesia, South Africa, [1] Tunisia [2] and Americas (except Canada, United States and Mexico), and the Toyota Wigo in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Brunei and Vietnam through an OEM agreement. [3] [4] [5] The car is also slightly reengineered and manufactured in Malaysia by Perodua as the Perodua Axia. [6]
The first-generation Ayla and Agya were first unveiled at the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show in September 2012 and went on sale a year later, in September 2013. The second-generation models were unveiled in February 2023 and went on sale a month afterwards. [7] [8]
The name Ayla was taken from the Sanskrit word meaning 'light', while Agya means 'fast'. [9] The name was chosen to comply with the Indonesian government-endorsed Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) tax exemption program which requires an Indonesian-inspired name. [10] The program also requires for an Indonesian-inspired badge to be used, with the Ayla using an A-shaped front logo while the Agya for the Indonesian market opting for a Garuda-inspired front badge (except for the second-generation Agya GR Sport which is not eligible for the LCGC program).

The first-generation Ayla and Agya was first announced and displayed at the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show in September 2012 as Daihatsu and Toyota's joint response to the Indonesian government's plan for the Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) program which eliminates luxury goods tax for eligible vehicles. [23] The ratification of the LCGC program by the government was delayed by a year, [24] which also delayed the mass production and market launch in September 2013. [17] [25] [26] Early models were solely powered by a 998 cc 1KR-DE three-cylinder engine.
In 2014, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) introduced the car as the Toyota Wigo. [3] [27] [28]
The first-generation Ayla and the Indonesian market Agya received their first facelift on 7 April 2017, with its development led by chief engineer Nobuhiko Ono. [29] This facelift includes redesigned front and rear fascias (also with extended bonnet for 1.2-litre Ayla and all Agya variants), improved interior quality, among other improvements. The 1.0-litre Ayla variants retained the same headlights design from the previous version. The facelift also includes additional engine options: the 998 cc 1KR-VE three-cylinder engine with VVT-i (Agya only) and the 1.2-litre 3NR-VE four-cylinder engine with Dual VVT-i. The 1.0-litre Ayla variants kept the previous 1KR-DE engine. [30] [31]
The first facelift Wigo was launched on 10 May 2017. [32]
The first-generation Ayla (1.2-litre variants) and the Indonesian market Agya received their second facelift on 19 March 2020. [33] [34] [35] [36] This facelift includes an updated front bumper design, [37] redesigned side mirrors, digital air conditioner controls, among other improvements. The 1.0-litre Ayla variants retained the same design from the previous version. [38] [39] On 9 August 2021, the TRD S trim of the Indonesian market Agya was renamed to GR Sport. [40] The 1.0-litre Agya variants were also removed as well in November 2021.
The second facelift Wigo was launched on 15 June 2020 in the Philippines. [41]
The Ayla is only available in Indonesia in eleven trim levels: [42]
In Indonesia, the Agya was initially available in three trim levels: E, G and TRD S. Below are the complete breakdown of all trim levels: [43]
In the Philippines, the Wigo comes in three trim levels:
During Wigo's introduction, Toyota Motor Philippines launched an extensive marketing campaign for the car, featuring actors John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo. [44] [45]
In the Philippines, the Wigo has been awarded Best Micro Car of the Year by the Car Awards Group for 2014–2015. [46]

The Perodua Axia is a slightly reengineered version of the Ayla that was launched in Malaysia in 2014. It is only offered with a 1.0-litre engine.
The Ayla Turbo is a one-off concept car that was shown at the 26th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in August 2018, based on the 1.2-litre model. The two-tone red and black exterior colour is partially inspired from the 1984 Charade De Tomaso Turbo. The front and rear bumper design has also been redesigned. The 3NR-VE engine has been extensively modified by fitting a turbocharger that is equipped with intercooler, wastegate and blow-off valve with 0.5 bar (7.3 psi) of boost that uprates the power output to 147 kW (197 hp; 200 PS) and torque to 242 N⋅m (178 lbf⋅ft). Further engine changes include the use of low-compression piston, dual fuel injector, open air filter and stronger connecting rod. The 3-module piggyback has been used to manipulate the engine data for performance orientation, while the exhaust system uses a stainless steel free-flow type with a diameter of 63.5 mm (2.5 in). The interior has been stripped down in order to gain lower weight and the roll cage has been added, along with FIA-certified Sparco racing bucket seats. The AC and other non-essential features have also been removed. The car made a claimed 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration in 10.3 seconds, 2.3 seconds faster than the standard car. The car was still in developmental phase at the time and costs around Rp 500,000,000 (US$ 35,100 as of March 2019) to build. [48] [49] [50] [51] [52]
The Ayla BEV is an EV conversion prototype that was first presented at the 29th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show on 11 August 2022. The storage battery uses a 32 kWh unit, while the electric motor is rated at 60 kW (80 hp; 82 PS). The suspension was made stronger due to the car being heavier than the regular ICE-powered model.

[74] [75] For the GR Sport trim , the Garuda-inspired front badge on the front grille was replaced by the regular Toyota emblem, and the "Astra Toyota" badging on the tailgate was removed. As a result, the trim is not eligible for LCGC regulations, resulting in an upmarket positioning. Aside from aero kits, the GR Sport trim also received specially tuned power steering programming, steering gear, shock absorbers and coil springs. [76] [77]

On 28 April 2023, Daihatsu confirmed that the company had committed "wrongdoings" in approval application for side collision tests under UN-R95 requirements [91] for four vehicles, including the A350 series Toyota Agya. According to Daihatsu, the inside lining of the front seat door was improperly modified with a "notch" to prevent the part from breaking into pieces with sharp edges that could injure occupants during a side airbag deployment. These modifications are not present in production vehicles. In response, Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda and Toyota president Koji Sato publicly apologized. [92] For the Agya, only vehicles bound to be sold in Ecuador would be affected. Toyota had re-tested the model before delivering it to markets with UN-R95 side crash test regulations. [93]
