TheDaihatsu Ayla is acity car designed byDaihatsu and manufactured byAstra Daihatsu Motor in Indonesia since 2013, primarily developed foremerging markets. The Ayla has also been sold byToyota (Daihatsu's parent company since 2016) as theToyota Agya in Indonesia, South Africa,[1] Tunisia[2] and Americas (except North America), and theToyota Wigo in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Brunei and Vietnam through an OEM agreement.[3][4][5] The car is also slightly reengineered and manufactured in Malaysia byPerodua as thePerodua Axia.[6]

The nameAyla was taken from theSanskrit word meaning 'light', whileAgya means 'fast'.[9] The name was chosen to comply with the Indonesian government-endorsedLow Cost Green Car (LCGC) tax exemption program which requires an Indonesian-inspired name.[10] The program also requires for an Indonesian-inspired badge to be used, with the Ayla using an A-shaped front logo while the Agya for the Indonesian market opting for aGaruda-inspired front badge (except for the second-generation AgyaGR Sport which is not eligible for the LCGC program).[11]
The first-generation Ayla and Agya was first announced and displayed at the 20thIndonesia International Motor Show in September 2012 as Daihatsu and Toyota's joint response to the Indonesian government's plan for theLow Cost Green Car (LCGC) program which eliminatesluxury goods tax for eligible vehicles.[23] The ratification of the LCGC program by the government was delayed by a year,[24] which also delayed the mass production and market launch in September 2013.[17][25][26] Early models were solely powered by a 998 cc1KR-DEthree-cylinder engine.

TheAyla Turbo is a one-off concept car that was shown at the26th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in August 2018, based on the 1.2-litre model. The two-tone red and black exterior colour is partially inspired from the 1984Charade De Tomaso Turbo. The front and rear bumper design has also been redesigned. The3NR-VE engine has been extensively modified by fitting aturbocharger that is equipped withintercooler,wastegate andblow-off valve with 0.5 bar (7.3 psi) of boost that uprates the power output to 147 kW (197 hp; 200 PS) and torque to 242 N⋅m (178 lbf⋅ft). Further engine changes include the use of low-compression piston, dual fuel injector, open air filter and stronger connecting rod. The 3-module piggyback has been used to manipulate the engine data for performance orientation, while the exhaust system uses a stainless steel free-flow type with a diameter of 63.5 mm (2.5 in). The interior has been stripped down in order to gain lower weight and the roll cage has been added, along withFIA-certifiedSparco racing bucket seats. The AC and other non-essential features have also been removed. The car made a claimed 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration in 10.3 seconds, 2.3 seconds faster than the standard car. The car was still in developmental phase at the time and costs aroundRp 500,000,000 (US$35,100 as of March 2019) to build.[48][49][50][51][52]
TheAyla BEV is anEV conversion prototype that was first presented at the29th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show on 11 August 2022. The storage battery uses a 32 kWh unit, while the electric motor is rated at 60 kW (80 hp; 82 PS). The suspension was made stronger due to the car being heavier than the regularICE-powered model.[53]
The second-generation Agya was unveiled in Indonesia on 13 February 2023,[58][59][60] followed by the Ayla on 15 February.[61][62] Sales were commenced at the2nd Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week on 10 March 2023.[63][64] The cars shared the sameDNGA-A platform with theA200 series Rocky crossover SUV, resulting in a longer body and wheelbase.[65]
The development of the second-generation Ayla and Agya was paralleled with thesecond-generation Perodua Axia, and was led by chief engineer Toshihiro Nakaho from Daihatsu.[66]
Powertrain updates include the 68ps 1.0-litre1KR-VE and the 88ps 1.2-litreWA-VE three-cylinder engines.[67][68] Both engines are paired with either a 5-speedmanual transmission or a Daihatsu-developedCVT, which is marketed by Daihatsu as "Dual-Mode CVT" (D-CVT).[69]
The second-generation Ayla shared the same styling with the second-generation Axia, notably its front fascia and headlights.[70] The Ayla is available in three trim levels: 1.0 M, 1.0 X and 1.2 R. All trim levels are available with 5-speed manual as standard, while the latter two are offered with CVT transmission as an option.[71][72] Optional Astra Daihatsu Styling (ADS) package with aero kits and other accessories is also offered for the latter two trims.[73]
The Indonesian market Agya is available in three trim levels: E, G and GR Sport, all powered by the 1.2-litre engine with 5-speed manual for all trim levels, and CVT for the latter two.[74][75] For the GR Sport trim, the Garuda-inspired front badge on the front grille was replaced by the regular Toyota emblem, and the "Astra Toyota" badging on the tailgate was removed. As a result, the trim is not eligible for LCGC regulations, resulting in an upmarket positioning. Aside from aero kits, the GR Sport trim also received specially tunedpower steering programming, steering gear,shock absorbers andcoil springs.[76][77] The Stylix based on G CVT trim with GR Parts package was introduced at the32nd Indonesia International Motor Show on 13 February 2025.

On 28 April 2023, Daihatsu confirmed that the company had committed "wrongdoings" in approval application forside collision tests underUN-R95 requirements[92] for four vehicles, including the A350 series Toyota Agya. According to Daihatsu, the inside lining of the front seat door was improperly modified with a "notch" to prevent the part from breaking into pieces with sharp edges that could injure occupants during a side airbag deployment. These modifications are not present in production vehicles. In response, Toyota chairmanAkio Toyoda and Toyota president Koji Sato publicly apologized.[93] For the Agya, only vehicles bound to be sold in Ecuador would be affected. Toyota had re-tested the model before delivering it to markets with UN-R95 side crash test regulations.[94]
In September 2018, Toyota Motor Philippines issued a recall notice on over 15,000 Wigos produced from 5 April to 15 December 2017. The affected units have a faulty engine wire that may break from engine vibration, resulting in a decrease in engine power and a warning light illumination.[124]
