2026 Daihatsu Taft 4×4 – The Compact Off-Roader You Didn’t Expect!
In 2026, Daihatsu reignited a myth. The Daihatsu Taft 4×4 is a startling reentrant to the compact off-road market, and it brings with it rugged good looks, unlimited potential, and practical city mobility. Fans of simple, long-lasting off-road vehicles have flocked to the Taft, an acronym for “Tough and Almighty Four-wheel Touring vehicle,” since its inception in the 1970s. The 2026 Taft continues that legacy with a modern take that embraces both the past and the future.
A Heritage Revitalized
A reputation for near-indestructibility preceded the original Daihatsu Taft. Its small size, light weight, and actual four-wheel drive systems made it ideal for off-road adventures, remote towns, and rugged terrain. The 2026 model pays homage to its predecessors by keeping the upright style, broad fenders, and boxy shape that were hallmarks of their functional design language.
Fresh, Spacious, and Functional Interior
The 2026 Daihatsu Taft is all about being young and practical. A horizontal layout characterizes the dashboard, which features simple, easy-to-clean materials with rough textures. Attractive features of the car include a multi-function steering wheel, large rubberized knobs, and circular air vents. In the middle of the dashboard you’ll find an infotainment system with an 8-or 9-inch touchscreen that works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Proficient yet Efficient Powertrain
The 2026 Daihatsu Taft 4×4’s engine is little but strong. The base model complies with Japanese kei vehicle standards with its 64 horsepower produced by its 660cc turbocharged three-cylinder engine. Nevertheless, for foreign markets and export versions, Daihatsu offers a more powerful 1.0-or 1.2-liter turbocharged inline-three engine that can provide 90-110 horsepower and 140 Nm of torque.
