The restyled first-generation Daihatsu Applause is a compact liftback that hides a practical hatchback tailgate behind sedan-like styling, pairing modest running costs with everyday usability for drivers who want quiet, straightforward transport.
The Daihatsu Applause engine line centres on a 1.6-litre petrol unit, enough for relaxed town driving and steady motorway cruising. Examples such as the 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT show the choice on offer: a manual gearbox for keener control and better economy, or an automatic for easier traffic work, both driving the front wheels.
