Daihatsu Feroza – the collective page of the compact SUV with Resintop and Softtop roofs, DX trim and fuel injection: 1.6-litre four-cylinder with 70 kW, unladen weight 1,125 to 1,399 kg
This page gathers the Daihatsu Feroza, the compact SUV Daihatsu introduced in 1988 as the successor to the Rocky for European markets. Resin-Top and Resintop denote the removable plastic hardtop, Softtop the fabric top, DX the upper trim line, EL an extended equipment level; Injection, Inject. and Inj. mark the change from carburettor to fuel injection during the model's production run. Power came from Daihatsu's own 1.6-litre four-cylinder.

The register lists here 14 versions with 70 kW from four-cylinders of 1,589 to 1,600 cm³, unladen weights from 1,125 to 1,399 kg, gross weights from 1,580 to 1,650 kg, a length of 3,680 mm and widths from 1,580 to 1,750 mm.
The Feroza competed with the Suzuki Vitara and Daihatsu's own Rocky successor for the segment of small, light SUVs and was valued both off-road and as a nimble city vehicle thanks to its low weight and compact dimensions. In the Netherlands and Britain it also found buyers who valued low running costs and simple, mechanical engineering without electronic driver aids.
On used examples, rust on sills and wheel arches, the tightness of the soft top and hardtop seals, the condition of the transfer case and freewheeling hubs, the carburettor or injection system, and the clutch all count; parts are sourced through Daihatsu importers and the free trade in Japanese SUV parts.
