facelift 2020 Overview:
Daihatsu Ayla (facelift 2020). With 86 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 820 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.

Performance Verdict
Adequate for city driving, but the automatic transmission combined with low power makes highway acceleration sluggish. Best for unhurried urban commutes.

Excellent fuel economy in city conditions, a key selling point for this segment. Expect higher consumption on highways due to the engine working harder.
