DAIHATSU HAS launched an all-new competitively priced compact van aimed squarely at the Suzuki Carry. Called the Extol, it will eventually replace the company's long-serving Hij et microvan.
Targeted at multi-drop operators and city-centre businesses.the Extol comes with a 615kg payload, 2.2m load area and a useful 8.8m turning circle.
Daihatsu says the chassis has been significantly improved over the Hijet with toe-control links on the trailing arms to reduce axle tramp. which can be a trait of some CVs when unladen.
Standard equipment includes twin sliding load doors, driver and passenger airbags, power steering, and central locking. Power comes from a Toyota-derived 1.3-litre four-pot petrol engine producing 85hp and 120Nm of torque. It comes with a three-year/60.000-mile warranty:prices start at £6,995.
