The final update to the second-generation Xenia in 2019 introduced split-level LED headlamps, updated climate controls and the headline addition of the 1.5-litre 2NR-VE engine alongside the 1.3-litre unit. As the ultimate iteration of the rear-wheel-drive platform, proactive Daihatsu Xenia maintenance ensures that high-mileage examples continue to provide dependable family transportation without surprise breakdowns.
The 1.5-litre engine provides 103 hp, transforming the car's long-distance cruising ability when fully occupied. However, owners must verify that the manufacturer recall regarding the in-tank fuel pump module has been carried out, as swelling impellers can cause sudden engine cutouts. Furthermore, check the 1.5-litre engine for early signs of coolant weeping from the water pump around the auxiliary drive belt pulley.
