Daihatsu is a Japanese automaker founded in 1907 and headquartered in Osaka, Japan. It became a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota in 2016 and is best known for compact and kei cars — small, fuel-efficient vehicles engineered for crowded cities and tight budgets. While Daihatsu never established official dealerships in Pakistan, it is hugely famous here through the used-import market: the Daihatsu Mira and Daihatsu Cuore are among the most common Japanese Domestic Market hatchbacks on Pakistani roads, beloved for their outstanding fuel economy, cheap running costs, and easy maintenance. Models like the Move, Tanto, and Terios also circulate through import channels. Spare parts for Mira, Cuore, and Move come mainly through used and new-import supply chains, with engine, suspension, gearbox, and electrical parts widely available in the parts markets of Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Peshawar. For owners of these imports, mechanics experienced with Daihatsu kei-car platforms are found in most major cities.
