According to Daihatsu, the name "Boon" is derived from the English wordboon, and also inspired by the sound that Japanese children make when imitating the sound of a car,[1] while the name "Passo" is Italian for "step". According to Toyota, the name conjures up the image of a casual and approachable car.[2]

The development for the first-generation Boon was led by Toyota chief engineer Tetsuya Tada.[4] For theJapanese domestic market, the Boon were available with 996 cc and 1.3-litre engines. The major difference between the Japanese Boon and Sirion areautomatic version where the gear-changing located beside the steering on the dashboard and the handbrake below the steering. Both the Japanese Boon and European Sirion were offered in bothfront-wheel drive andfour-wheel drive versions. A 936 ccturbocharged version with four-wheel drive was also available, known as the Boon X4.
The Boon was designed for European tastes and the model took on a larger and stockier frame. It weighs about 940 kg (2,072 lb). With the back seats down, its luggage capacity increases from 225 L (8 cu ft) to 630 L (22 cu ft).
In early 2005, Daihatsu launched the Japanese-built second-generation Sirion in Brunei using the facility and parts from the Boon. The model was discontinued in 2010 before Daihatsu exited the Brunei market as the passenger cars market (except the commercial vehicles) in 2014 and the Sirion is replaced by the Perodua-badged Myvi, which is launched in the country since April 2016.
On 25 May 2005, Malaysian automakerPerodua launched a variant of the Boon known as thePerodua Myvi. Sporting multiple cosmetic changes, the Myvi became Perodua's best-selling car in Malaysia for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The Myvi was also exported to Singapore and the United Kingdom.
On 25 December 2006, the Boon was restyled. This version was exported to Europe as the Sirion in 2007.
In 2007, Daihatsu launched the Sirion in Indonesia using the facility and parts from the Myvi.[5]
TheSubaru Justy was unveiled at the2007 Frankfurt Motor Show using the Boon model. It is positioned as an entry-level model in Subaru's lineup.[citation needed]

The third-generation Boon and Passo were unveiled in Japan on 12 April 2016. A better-equipped variant called the Boon CILQ was also available, featuring a pill-shaped grille that was distinct from the redesigned oval headlamps. This model was sold as the Passo Moda by Toyota and replaced the Passo +Hana from the previous generation.
Both the Boon and the Passo received a facelift on 10 October 2018, along with the introduction of a "Style" variant for the Boon. The Passo now includes an improved collision avoidance support system (Smart Assist III), which can detect various elements such as pedestrians, vehicles, preceding and oncoming cars, and obstacles. It can then activate several driver assistance systems, including alerting the driver or switching between low and high beams.[14] For the facelift model, the CILQ/Style/Moda submodels received a much larger grille, pulled all the way down to the bottom of the bumper, and the black C-pillar panel was smoothed off and received a high-gloss finish (other types were matte black plastic with four horizontal ridges).
The third-generation Boon is the only model that is not built as the corresponding generation Perodua Myvi (which is also sold as the Daihatsu Sirion in Indonesia).
