The luxury feeling is also built by its new combination meter design. This model is also equipped with new function, such as double folding seat in all 2nd row seats.

Engine with VVT-i and catalytic converter, more powerful, responsive, and environmental friendly

Daihatsu Xenia VVT-i, not only with its new exterior and interior looks, but also is equipped with the VVT-i system. The VVT-i system will improve Xenia's engine performance to more powerful through higher maximum power, more responsive through higher maximum torque, and also make it more efficient fuel consumption. There are 2 kinds of engines, EJ-VE 1.0 VVT-i and K3-VE 1.3 VVT-i engines. The EJ-VE 1.0 VVT-i engine is the only engine in Indonesia, with displacement 1,000cc and has VVT-i system. For the 1.0 L engine model (Mi and Li variants), the benefits from the VVT-i system have been used to improve the fuel efficiency by approximately 7% for those customers who value economical benefits of Xenia. On the other hand, for the 1.3 L engine model (Xi variant), the VVT-i system contributes to improve the performance, increasing the maximum power and torque.

The new engine also fulfills Euro 2 standard, by its catalytic converter, which makes Xenia VVT-i more environmental friendly.
