Toyota Passo

Passo was born as a joint development of Toyota Motor Corporation and Daihatsu Motor Corporation, for the first time in the domestic market. It is sold under the name of “Boone” from Daihatsu. It brings together Daihatsu's small car development technology and Toyota's production knowledge of vehicle planning ability. Under the theme of “My partner and compact”, Passo was intended for proposing a car life as a lively partner of everyday life. Its exterior design has a unique character with both the strength and the cuteness. Although the overall length is shorter than Vitz, there is enough room inside because the wheelbase is longer. The interior design was aimed to make people feel open and clean. From the point of view of universal design, it has achieved a high functionality with an emphasis on ease of use and fit in the hand. Rear seats can be folded in a 60/40 split, making it possible to enjoy a variety of seating arrangements. In addition, Passo has a good maneuverability by making the minimum turning radius 4.3m, the same level as a mini vehicle. It has two engine types of 1 liter and 1.3 liter with the combination of 4-speed AT. All patterns of Passo have achieved the “2005 exhaust gas standard 75% reduction level” in the low-emission vehicle certification system of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Japan, proving Passo is environmentally friendly. Moreover, it is equipped with necessary and sufficient safety equipment, such as electronically controlled ABS. It has nine body colors to choose from, according to drivers' personality and driving style.
