Engine Type Common:
Typically featured 3-cylinder petrol engines (e.g., EF-VE, EF-SE) for this generation, known for fuel efficiency.
Typical Displacement Cc:
659cc (common for Japanese Kei cars of this era)
Typical Horsepower Range:
Approximately 50-65 hp, depending on specific engine variant and aspiration (e.g., naturally aspirated vs. turbocharged).
Fuel Injection Type:
Likely multi-point fuel injection (MPI) or electronic fuel injection (EFI) for emissions compliance and performance.
Engine Codes Examples:
EF-VE, EF-SE (these are common engine codes for Daihatsu 660cc engines of this era, specific to L701 would need manual confirmation).
Transmission Type Common:
Often equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission as standard.
Transmission Type Optional:
An automatic transmission (likely 3-speed or 4-speed) was often an optional extra.
Drivetrain Layout:
Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard; All-wheel drive (AWD) may have been available on certain variants.
Safety Rating General:
As a Kei car from the late 90s/early 2000s, safety standards would align with Japanese regulations of the time. Advanced safety features typical of modern vehicles would likely be absent.
Common Active Safety:
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) may be present on higher trims or as an option.
Common Passive Safety:
Seat belts, potentially front airbags on higher specifications.
Infotainment System:
Basic radio/cassette player or CD player depending on trim level. Limited connectivity options.
Driver Assistance Features:
Minimal to none for this generation and class; focus on basic motoring.
Connectivity Options:
Likely limited to basic audio input, no integrated Bluetooth or smartphone mirroring.
Oil Change Interval Km:
Typically every 5,000 - 7,500 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, depending on driving conditions.
Air Filter Replacement Interval Km:
Every 15,000 - 25,000 km.
Spark Plug Replacement Interval:
Varies by spark plug type; typically 30,000 - 60,000 km for standard plugs, longer for platinum/iridium.
Engine Oil Type API Viscosity:
API SG or higher, SAE 0W-20, 5W-30, or 10W-40 depending on climate and specific engine recommendations (manual would confirm exact spec).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze (typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water). Green or pink coolant specific to Japanese manufacturers often used.
Transmission Fluid Type Manual:
API GL-4 gear oil, SAE 75W-90 or 75W-85.
Transmission Fluid Type Automatic:
Dexron II or Dexron III compatible ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid).
Common Wear Items:
Worn clutch components, suspension bushings, aging electrical connectors, potential for oil leaks from seals over time due to age.
Engine Specific Concerns:
Small displacement engines can be sensitive to maintenance; timing belts require regular replacement (if applicable) to prevent catastrophic engine damage.
Daihatsu Focus:
Daihatsu has a long history of producing small, fuel-efficient vehicles, particularly Kei cars, for the Japanese domestic market and select export markets.
Cuore Mira Lineage:
The Cuore and Mira are distinct but related model lines within Daihatsu, often sharing platforms and powertrains. The L701 generation represents a specific iteration focused on compact size and practicality.
