Daihatsu Hvs (hybrid Vehicle Sports) Concept

The HVS is a hybrid open sports car that offers a sophisticated fusion of driving performance and environment-friendly performance.



Open sports car with compact, 3,715mm overall length delivers an exhilarating experience of driver-vehicle unity.



Combining the advanced look of a hybrid car with the pulse-quickening style of a sports car, the HVS has a low center of gravity based on a spindle shape.



High-quality sports seats and instrument panel, with metal accents on meter cluster and center console for an overwhelmingly sporty, progressive interior.



Hybrid system comprises two motors and a 1.5-litre inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine in front. Together with the rear electric motor with left-right drive power control mechanism, this delivers the sporty performance of 2-liter engine vehicles along with excellent 37km/litre* fuel economy (10-15 mode Japanese emission standard, Daihatsu in-house test data), surpassing that of 1-litre engine vehicles.



Emissions reduction equivalent to 75% below Japan's 2005 regulations
