The 2020 facelift marks the final, most refined iteration of this first-generation platform, introducing a bolder front grille, refreshed alloy wheels, digital climate controls and keyless start on higher grades. Ensuring long-term durability centres on proactive Daihatsu Ayla maintenance, keeping both the lightweight mechanicals and the updated onboard electrical accessories in prime working order.
Under the bonnet, buyers choose between the economical 1.0-litre 1KR-VE and the eager 1.2-litre 3NR-VE, both backed by either a five-speed manual or a four-speed torque-converter automatic. In modern urban stop-start traffic, the electronic throttle body can suffer from carbon deposits, resulting in erratic idling or sudden drops in engine revs when coming to a halt. Periodic cleaning of the intake tract and checking the health of the 12V auxiliary battery are essential routines.
