Daihatsu Extol Compact Van
The Daihatsu Extol is a Japanese-built compact van that was designed to have a major impact on its segment. It offers 'best-in-class' features, such as an 82 PS 1.3 litre petrol engine mated to a five-speed floor-mounted gearchange, and a competitive price of only £6,995 (excluding VAT, RFL and First Registration Fee). It is set to eventually replace the well-regarded Hijet micro-van, which has been a What Van? award-winner for 11 successive years.
The Daihatsu Extol is available through over 90-plus dealerships throughout the UK, with volume sales beginning from January 2004. Key customers include multi-drop delivery operators and city-centre businesses, who will appreciate the Extol's compact external dimensions and an impressive 8.8 metre kerb-to-kerb turning circle. Furthermore, the Extol has a top speed of 93 mph making it suitable even for longer trips.
Safety is also prioritized on the Extol with airbags for both the driver and passenger as standard, plus an in-line engine and gearbox mounted well behind the front wheels to give the Extol a lower centre-of-gravity and polar-moment-of-inertia. Additionally, the driver and passenger are placed behind the front wheels in a spacious cabin. It also includes a front bonnet which provides added crumple space in the event of an accident.
The Daihatsu Extol comes with a three year 60,000 mile warranty, making it a great option for people looking for a reliable and cost-effective compact van.
