The Daihatsu Cast (Japanese: ダイハツ・キャスト, Hepburn: Daihatsu Kyasuto) is a kei car built by the Japanese manufacturer Daihatsu since 2015. It comes in three variations designated "Style", "Activa" and "Sport". Each can be equipped with either front- or four-wheel drive configuration.[4]
The Cast is also sold by Toyota as the Toyota Pixis Joy (Japanese: トヨタ・ピクシスジョイ, Hepburn: Toyota Pikushisu Joi), which was launched on 31 August 2016.[5]
Overview[]
The Cast Style/Pixis Joy F is targeted at customers who desired an upmarket small passenger vehicle, the Cast Activa/Pixis Joy C is marketed primarily as a light off-road capable crossover with a minimum ground clearance of 175 mm (6.9 in), while the Cast Sport/Pixis Joy S is given such features as handling-oriented suspension tuning to increase its appeal to performance customers.[4] A continuously variable transmission is fitted on all models and the Sport variant is sold with a 7-speed paddle-shifted mode.[6]
The Activa and Sport variants (as well as the Pixis Joy C and S) were discontinued in March 2020, leaving only the Style variant. Both variants were replaced by the more rugged SUV-styled LA900 series Taft.
