PT Astra Daihatsu Motor has updated the
Sirion in Indonesia with a new bodykit. The car is essentially a rebadged
version of Perodua Myvi, and in fact they’re both built at the same plant
in Rawang.
Offered in just a single variant, the
Sirion is almost identical in specification to the Myvi 1.3 X, albeit with the
option of a five-speed manual gearbox and 15-inch two-tone alloy wheels (the
1.3 X gets silver 14-inch rollers) from the 1.5 litre models. Now, cars with
the four-speed automatic get the latter’s bodykit as well.
This includes a gloss black front lip
spoiler, two-tone side skirts and a blacked-out rear number plate recess.
Interestingly, the Daihatsu also gets new Granite Grey and Electric Blue colour
choices – the latter is a once-popular Perodua hue that has now gone missing
with its latest models.
Otherwise, it’s the same car as before, so
the Sirion continues to come with LED headlights with follow-me-home lighting,
front fog lights, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry, push-button
start, digital air-con controls, front and rear USB outlets and a new
seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with MirrorLink and a reverse
camera.
Safety kit is also the same, comprising of
four airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist and stability control; the car also
doesn’t get the 1.5 AV’s Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) that includes autonomous
emergency braking, among others. As per usual, the engine is a 1NR-VE 1.3 litre
naturally-aspirated Dual VVT-i four-cylinder producing 95 PS and 120 Nm of
torque.
Prices have gone up slightly, the Sirion
now crossing the 200 million rupiah mark at IDR 200.1 million for
the manual model and IDR 214.85 million for the auto.
