TheDaihatsu Cast (Japanese:ダイハツ・キャスト,Hepburn:Daihatsu Kyasuto) is akei car built by the Japanese manufacturerDaihatsu since 2015. It comes in three variations designated, "Style", "Activa" and "Sport". Each one can be equipped with eitherfront- orfour-wheel drive configuration.[4]
The Cast is also sold byToyota as theToyota Pixis Joy (Japanese:トヨタ・ピクシスジョイ,Hepburn:Toyota Pikushisu Joi), which was launched on 31 August 2016.[5]
The Cast Style/Pixis Joy F is targeted at customers who desire an upmarket small passenger vehicle; the Cast Activa/Pixis Joy C is marketed primarily as a light off-road capablecrossover with a minimum ground clearance of 175 mm (6.9 in), while the Cast Sport/Pixis Joy S is given such features as handling-oriented suspension tuning to increase its appeal to performance customers.[4] Acontinuously variable transmission is fitted on all models and the Sport variant is sold with a 7-speed paddle-shifted mode.[6]
The Cast was lightly facelifted in October 2017, including new grilles for the Style and Activa models and new colors (inside and out). The Smart Assist collision avoidance system was updated to the third generation, called the "SA III".[7]
The Activa and Sport variants (as well as the Pixis Joy C and S) were discontinued in March 2020, leaving only the Style variant. Both variants were replaced by the more ruggedSUV-styledLA900 series Taft.
