The first-generation Daihatsu Zebra was launched on 1 August 1986 as an enlarged seventh-generation Daihatsu Hijet. It was equipped with a 53 PS (39 kW) 1.0-liter 3-cylinder CB engine from previous generation. [1] In October 1989, this received a 1.3-liter 16-valve HC-C engine rather than the earlier one-liter unit, [2] [3] [4] and sales doubled year-on-year. [5] The 1298 cc unit produces 72 PS (53 kW) and was coupled to a four-speed manual transmission. [5] The pickup truck version started using the "D130 Jumbo" badge, available until January 1996.
There was a unique front-mid engine SUV-style based from Daihatsu Zebra 1.3 sold only in Indonesia between 1990–1994, known as "Shelby Patriot". This car shared almost everything from Zebra, except the body now has a 3-door SUV style similar to the Feroza and made from fiberglass. [6]

The second-generation Daihatsu Zebra van, known as the Zebra Espass was based on the eighth-generation Hijet and introduced in April 1995. [8] The pickup truck version retained the D130 Jumbo badge, available from January 1996. It was also produced and sold in Malaysia as the Perodua Rusa from 1996. It has a completely rounded, aerodynamic styling. When it was first introduced, it was powered by the same engine as the seventh generation Hijet-based Zebra, the 1.3-liter 16-valve HC-C engine with carburetor. In December 1996, the Espass Supervan was launched with the 1.6-liter 16-valve HD-C engine (later used on the Terios-based Taruna), standard air conditioners, audio system with tape and racing wheels.
In 2000, the Zebra Espass badge for the van version and the D130 Jumbo badge for the pickup truck version were replaced by the new Zebra badge and the van version was offered in five trim levels: Blind Van, ZT (with swing-out center side doors, swing-out rear door and face-to-face rear seats instead of sliding doors, lift-up tailgate and front-facing rear seat), ZL, ZX and ZSX. It is referred to as the Neo Zebra. The Blind Van, ZT and ZL retained the previous 1.3-liter engine with carburetor from the previous model. While the ZX and ZSX which replaced the Espass Supervan retained the 1.6-liter engine with carburetor, from 2001, the 1.6-liter 16-valve HD-E engine with electronic fuel injection (EFI) was also available as an option. Both the 1.6-liter engines with carburetor and EFI were later replaced in January 2002 by the 1.5-liter 16-valve HE-E engine with EFI (also used on the Taruna) due to changes in excise tax structure. [9] Since then, the ZT van was discontinued. In 2003, the van received the same red and white taillights with ornaments and rear license plate holder as used on the Perodua Rusa, and added two new van variants: ZL9 and ZL Xtra. The ZL9 van variant featured swing-out rear door and face-to-face rear seats instead of lift-up tailgate and front-facing rear seat while retained the sliding doors.
The Zebra was refreshed in late 2004 and is referred to as the Zebra Master, and features an ornament on top of the grille with the larger and bolder chrome Daihatsu symbol emblem used on the recent Daihatsu vehicles, and added two new face-to-face van variants: ZL Xtra9 and ZX9 (replaced the regular ZX EFI trim). The ZSX van received a chrome ornament and the chrome Daihatsu symbol emblem on the steering wheel. The ZX and ZSX vans with the 1.5-liter engine with EFI was replaced by the ZX9 and ZSX vans with the 1.5-liter 16-valve HE-C engine with carburetor. The pickup trucks with the same 1.5-liter engine with carburetor as the ZX9 and ZSX vans were made available. In 2007, the pickup trucks, Blind Van, ZL, ZL9, ZL Xtra and ZL Xtra9 van variants with the 1.3-liter 16-valve HC-E engine with EFI were made available as an option, and the ZSX van with the 1.5-liter engine with EFI was made available again as an option. The pickup trucks with the same 1.5-liter engine with EFI as the ZSX van were made available as an option as well. Production of the Zebra ended in October 2007 when it was replaced by the Gran Max.

The Mazda Familia, also marketed prominently as the Mazda 323, Mazda Protegé and Mazda Allegro, is a small family car that was manufactured by Mazda between 1963 and 2003. The Familia line was replaced by the Mazda3/Axela for 2004.
Ford Courier is a model nameplate used by Ford since the early 1950s. The Courier moniker has been used on a variety of vehicles all around the world since it was first used in North America for a sedan delivery. The Courier nameplate was also used by Ford for a series of compact pickup trucks and would also see use by Ford of Europe denoting a Fiesta-based panel van. Ford Brazil used the nameplate for a Fiesta-based coupe utility pickup marketed across Latin America.
The Daihatsu Charade is a supermini car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Daihatsu from 1977 to 2000. It is considered by Daihatsu as a "large compact" or "supermini" car, to differentiate it from the smaller kei car compacts in its line-up, such as the Daihatsu Mira. In Japan, it offers buyers more interior space and a larger engine that allows for the car to also be used outside of urban areas. It replaced the Daihatsu Consorte, although the Charmant took over from the bigger-engined Consortes, and didn't share a platform with a Toyota product.
The Daihatsu Mira is a kei car and city car built by Japanese car maker Daihatsu. It has a variety of options and chassis variations, with the latest variant having four models: Mira, Mira AVY, Mira Gino, and Mira VAN. The Mira is the latest successor to the line of cars begun with the Daihatsu Fellow of 1966, and was originally introduced as the commercial version of the Cuore. Outside of Japan, the Mira has also been offered with larger 850 or 1000-cc engines. In Australia, the two-seater version was marketed as the Daihatsu Handivan and later as the Daihatsu Handi. The term mira is Latin meaning "goal" or "purpose".
The Daihatsu Terios is a mini SUV produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Daihatsu since 1997 as the successor to the F300 series Rocky. It was initially offered in both short- and long-wheelbase configurations before the former stopped production in 2016 to be replaced by the A200 series Rocky crossover in 2019. The long-wheelbase variant is available mainly for the Indonesian market with three-row seating options. A smaller kei car model called the Terios Kid/Lucia was also available for the first-generation model.
The Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia are a series of multi-purpose vehicles (MPV) developed by Daihatsu and marketed by both Toyota and Daihatsu, mainly sold with three-row seating. The Avanza and Xenia were developed as an entry-level MPV marketed mainly for the Indonesian and other emerging markets, and mainly produced in Indonesia by Astra Daihatsu Motor. Avanza's spiritual predecessor was the Kijang, whose model program has since been split into two different models to expand Toyota's reach in the MPV sector.
The Daihatsu Hijet is a cab over microvan and kei truck produced and sold by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu since 1960. Despite the similarities between the Hijet name and Toyota's naming scheme for its trucks and vans, the name "Hijet" has been in use for Daihatsu's kei trucks and microvans since 1960, over two decades before Toyota took control. "Hijet", when transliterated into Japanese, is very similar to "Midget", one of Daihatsu's other mini-trucks. According to Daihatsu, the name "Hijet" was created to imply that the vehicle offers higher performance than the Midget. The Hijet competes in Japan with the Honda Acty, Mitsubishi Minicab, Nissan Clipper, Subaru Sambar and Suzuki Carry.
The Daihatsu Applause is a compact car manufactured by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu for British and Australian markets. The Daihatsu Applause was manufactured from 1989 to 2000. It is most notable for its unusual body style, which, despite appearing to be a 4-door notchback sedan, is in fact a 5-door liftback with a notchback-shaped 412-litre trunk and a tailgate.
The Subaru Sambar is a cabover truck and microvan manufactured and marketed by Subaru as Japan's first truck compliant with the country's strict Keitora (軽トラ) or Kei vehicle tax class. Introduced in 1961 in microvan and Kei pickup configurations, the Sambar remains in production, now in its eighth generation — beginning with the sixth generation as a rebadged Daihatsu Hijet.
The Daihatsu Rugger is an off-road vehicle built by Daihatsu between 1984 and 2002. The Rugger was also called the Rocky in most export markets, and Fourtrak in the United Kingdom. It has also received a series of different names elsewhere, which is why it is often referred to by its model designation to distinguish it from its various siblings. In Japan and the US, the Rocky name refers to the smaller F300 series of Daihatsu vehicles.
The Mitsubishi Minicab is a kei truck and microvan, built and sold in Japan by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors since 1966. In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Galant Shop. It was also sold by China Motor Corporation (CMC) in Taiwan as the CMC Veryca, starting in 1985. A battery electric model of the Minicab, called the Minicab MiEV, is sold in the Japanese market since December 2011.
The Toyota Publica is a small car manufactured by the Japanese company Toyota from 1961 until 1978. Conceived as a family car to fulfill the requirements of the Japanese Government's "national car concept", it was the smallest Toyota car during that period and was superseded in that role by the Toyota Starlet, which itself started out as a version of the Publica. It was available as a 2-door vehicle only, but in a selection of body styles, ranging from the base sedan through a station wagon, convertible, coupé and even a coupe utility (pickup), which outlived the other models by a decade, and spawned other models, such as the Toyota Sports 800 and the Toyota MiniAce.
The Suzuki Carry is a kei truck produced by the Japanese automaker Suzuki. The microvan version was originally called the Carry van until 1982 when the passenger van versions were renamed as the Suzuki Every. In Japan, the Carry and Every are kei cars but the Suzuki Every Plus, the bigger version of Every, had a longer bonnet for safety purposes and a larger 1.3-liter 86-hp (63 kW) four-cylinder engine. They have been sold under myriad different names in several countries, including those with Chevrolet and Ford badges.
The Isuzu Faster is a pickup truck that was manufactured and marketed by Isuzu between 1972 and 2002 over three generations. The Faster was succeeded worldwide by Isuzu D-Max, except in Japan and North America.
The Toyota LiteAce and TownAce are a line of light commercial and derivative passenger vans produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Toyota. These vehicles originally utilized the cab-over-engine configuration, although since 1996 a semi-cab-over arrangement has featured instead. The LiteAce launched in 1970 as light-duty truck, with commercial and van/wagon body variants added in 1971. In 1976, Toyota released the larger TownAce van/wagon that derived from the LiteAce; a TownAce truck arrived later in 1978. Between 1982 and 1992, the series accommodated the MasterAce Surf—an upscale TownAce passenger wagon.
