Daihatsu Rugger Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1993–2002) — Second Generation
The second-generation Daihatsu Rugger is a compact, body-on-frame three-door SUV built for rough roads rather than comfort. Its appeal lies in simple mechanicals, short overhangs and genuine off-road hardware packed into a small footprint.
A typical Daihatsu Rugger engine is a diesel four-cylinder, as in the 2.8 MT version, which favours low-end pull over outright speed. That powertrain pairs a manual transmission with an all-wheel-drive drivetrain, so you select gears and traction yourself when terrain turns loose or steep.
