Daihatsu Luxio, More Cabin Space More Comfortable
For those who are used to driving in traffic jams, we would like to buy a automatic variant. Unfortunately, the price of this Daihatsu Luxio automatic is priced at more than 200 Million Rupiah. This is what makes Luxio difficult to compete with Mitsubishi Xpander whose price is not much different from the price of Luxio cars. The Xpander design is cooler, but the Luxio offers more cabin space that can be made more comfortable as a family car. Well, for those of you who are more interested in buying Luxio than Xpander or other MPV cars, look at the previous information first.

Let's discuss one by one the specifications of Daihatsu Luxio 2019. In terms of interior, this car has three rows of seats with very spacious foot space. The second row seats are also equipped with armchairs and cup holders to increase passenger comfort. In addition, there is a headrest or seat cushion for maximum comfort while driving. We can fold the second seat with just one touch, giving easy access to the rear seats at the rear.
Daihatsu Luxio has black-wrapped chairs that look exclusive and luxurious. Then on the dashboard comes a combination of 2 colors that combine Dark & Light Gray accents. Unfortunately there is no backrest in the front row seat, although the gear position depends on the dashboard. 2-Din audio system with replacement screen that can be used to play DVD / CD / MT / AM-FM Radio and equipped with AUX-IN which makes traveling more enjoyable.
Unfortunately touch screen Audio system is only available for type X. While other types still use standard audio system without touch screen. Then for the exterior has a more stylish and luxurious exterior with the presence of a new grille equipped with large 5-line chrome ornaments. Unfortunately the Daihatsu Luxio front and rear lights are not LED, as they still use standard lights. Then on the side there is a sliding door cover that makes the side look more neat and luxurious.
Well, Daihatsu Luxio uses a sliding door or sliding door. Unfortunately, the door does not use the electrical system, so it must be opened manually. For type D it is also not equipped with an electric mirror and still uses the AC Single Blower. So it is better to buy Type X which has more features and is equipped with a rear spoiler integrated in the LED High Mount Stop Light. Not only that, Luxio Type X also uses Wheel Alloy alloy which looks cooler than canned wheels on type D.

In terms of dimensions, Daihatsu Luxio 2019 has a length of 4,215 mm, a width of 1,710 mm and a height of 1,915 mm. In addition, this car has a wheelbase distance of 2,650 mm and the lowest distance to the ground reaches 180 mm. Ground clearance of this car is lower than the MPV car priced at the price equivalent to the price of Daihatsu Luxio. This shortage is not a significant problem, as long as Luxio remains comfortable to drive and can accommodate more passengers up to 8 people. So what about engine performance?
The 2019 Daihatsu Luxio specifications carry a DOHC 3SZ-VE engine and are equipped with VVT-i technology and a liquid cooling system. The engine has a capacity of 1,495cc and uses a 4 Cylinder engine that can produce a maximum power of 97 PS at 6,000 rpm and peak torque of 13.7 kg.m at 4,400 rpm. In our opinion, the power and torque of this car is quite standard, but more than enough to pass the ramp. The engine is also efficient and maximized by a 5-speed manual transmission system or a 4-speed automatic transmission.
BRAKE AND WHEELS
- Rack & Pinion Steering System with Power Steering
- Mac Pherson Struts Front Suspension with per snail and stabilizer
- 5-link, rigid-axio rear suspension with per snail
- Disk Front Brake
- Drum Rear Brake
- Tire Size 195/65 R15
Do not expect the Tilt & Telescopic Streering feature, as this car does not yet have it. As a result, we have to be satisfied with a standard steering system that uses Rack & Pinion with Power Steering. Then for the legs use the Mac Pherson Struts front suspension with snail and stabilizer. Then for the back using 5-link, rigid axio with per snail. Unfortunately, only the front suspension is equipped with a stabilizer. Though this feature is very important to maintain the stability of each wheel.
One of the parts that must be replaced when buying this car is the steering wheel. Because Daihatsu Luxio still uses 15 ring wheels with 195/65 R15 tires. It is better to replace the Daihatsu Luxio wheels with a larger size to look more sporty. We recommend buying 16 ring wheels which are typically priced at 4 million. Now the most disappointing part of this car is that it is not equipped with airbag security system and ABS braking system.
