Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
The export name for Daihatsu's small five-door hatchback: the Storia of 1998, then the Boon from 2004. Both were also sold by Toyota in Japan, as the Duet and the Passo. Mostly a sensible 1.0 and 1.3-litre runabout, though Japan also got a tiny-engined, turbocharged, four-wheel-drive Storia built for rallying.
