Original name: ダイハツ Costa
COSTA: Spanish for "coast." A car that gets you away from the everyday - in beach sandal fashion.
Frolic with the wind, in this freedom-loving semi-open minivehicle based on a full-time 4x4 power train.
Exterior & interior design
Built on the concept of sandals, COSTA has an open structure and no doors. The design creates a look of playful, casual freedom. At the same time, the broad rocker panels, pillars, and outer armrests add a feeling of security. The interior features mesh-covered hammock-like seats and wood-deck floor for all-weather utility.
4x4 System
COSTA employs a full-time 4x4 system that lets it handle various surfaces with ease. Ground clearance is a generously high 190mm.
