📖Daihatsu Xenia II (facelift 2015): the arrival of Dual VVT-i

Daihatsu Xenia II (F650, facelift 2015) (2015-2019)

The 2015 facelift brought a significant mechanical leap for the Xenia F650, most notably replacing older powertrains with the refined 1.3-litre 1NR-VE engine featuring Dual VVT-i. While enhanced sound insulation and refreshed styling made the MPV more comfortable, disciplined Daihatsu Xenia maintenance remains paramount to ensure that the sophisticated hydraulic cam phasing and automatic transmissions stay in optimal health.

The new 1NR-VE engine delivers 96 hp and noticeably better fuel economy, but it demands clean engine oil to protect the Dual VVT-i actuator from varnish buildup and cold-start rattle. On automatic models, degraded transmission fluid frequently manifests as slip or rev flare during the second-to-third gear upshift under moderate throttle, making regular checks of the automatic transmission fluid vital to preserve internal friction plates.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Introduction of the modern 1.3-litre 1NR-VE Dual VVT-i engine offering superior refinement and fuel efficiency.
  • Extremely durable commercial-grade rear-wheel-drive chassis built to handle demanding everyday chores.
  • Low purchase and running costs combined with widespread replacement parts availability.
  • Generous 7-seat passenger accommodation within a manageable, compact external footprint.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Dual VVT-i camshaft gear rattle on 1NR-VE: momentary rattle on cold start indicates varnish buildup from overdue oil services.
  • Automatic transmission 2-3 shift slip: neglected ATF fluid causes rev flare between second and third gear under gentle throttle.
  • Front strut top mounts and drop links: bumpy roads wear out upper strut bearings, producing clunking noises over speed humps.
  • Air conditioning auxiliary condenser fan: failure leads to warm cabin air and engine coolant temperature spikes in traffic.
  • Front brake discs and pads: vehicles loaded with passengers experience accelerated pad wear and disc warpage.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change every 10,000 km or 6 months using synthetic 0W-20 or 5W-30 oil to protect VVT actuators.
  • Automatic gearbox and differential fluid replacement every 40,000 km or 24 months.
  • Front suspension linkage and steering joint check every 20,000 km.
  • Spark plug renewal every 30,000 km to guarantee smooth ignition and complete combustion.
