Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd ("Daihatsu") will launch a partially improved model of its mini passenger vehicle Wake nationwide on May 17.

The Wake was initially launched in November 2014. In addition to packaging that achieved great visibility and best-in-class interior space*1, the Wake offers a high level of convenience for leisure activities. It is extremely popular among leisure-oriented users, thanks to the participation of "leisure professionals" in fields such as camping and surfing.

With its latest improvements, Daihatsu redesigned the interior and exterior of the model to make it more attractive. Daihatsu also introduced Smart Assist II, an improved crash-avoidance assistance system, in an effort to provide greater reassurance and safety, while integrating the grade system for relatively lower pricing.

Daihatsu has also introduced the new grade for its Leisure Edition, perfectly suited for the leisure activity-use for which the Wake is designed, helping to strengthen the vehicle's unique worldview.
