Newly developed 1.5-litre engine
with power to spare |
A newly developed 1.5-litre engine* has more than enough power to deliver a spirited, satisfying ride, even with Terios' expanded body.
With maximum output of 77/6000 (kW/rpm) and maximum torque of 140/4400 (N·m/rpm), the new engine delivers ample torque at low to mid-rpms and smooth, easy acceleration at high rpms. You enjoy an
exciting ride whether you're travelling off-road, driving in the city, or cruising at high speeds. The engine is highly efficient too, contributing
to the low fuel consumption of 7.9l/100 km**(EU combined mode).
|
*Also available is a 1.3-litre engine with maximum output of 63/6000 (kW/rpm) and maximum torque of 120/3200 (N·m/rpm).
*1.5-litre 4WD 5MT D / 1.3-litre 4WD 5MT |

Full-time 4WD system with centre differential
lock for superb off-road drivability
Boasting full-time 4WD and a centre differential lock, Terios delivers
superb drivability on rough roads, quick acceleration from a
standing position, and outstanding high-speed stability. The centre differential prevents occurrence of the "tight corner braking
phenomenon."* In thick mud or on a deeply rutted road, just touch
a button to switch on the differential lock. This connects the front
and rear wheels directly, giving the vehicle better traction. A direct
traction LSD (Limited-Slip Differential) for the rear wheels is
available as an option for 4WD model.** If one rear wheel loses
traction, this system delivers more power to the other rear wheel.
*A condition in which the difference in rotational speeds between the front wheels and rear
wheels causes a braking effect.
** The LSD is not available on models with the optional VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) system. |

Powerful braking performance
A 15-inch disc brake system assures outstanding stopping performance.
The EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) and ABS (Anti-lock
Braking System) with brake assist distribute the braking force optimally
to the four wheels.
A 16-inch ventilated disc brake system is also available.
*ABS control is not possible when the tyres have exceeded their performance limit. Also, the control
distance cannot be shortened. |

Newly developed suspension for enhanced
riding comfort
A newly developed suspension system gives Terios outstanding driving
stability even when the road gets rough. The suspension was
perfected through repeated test-driving on a variety of road surfaces,
resulting in a system that helps minimise fatigue during long-distance
drives and improves both riding comfort and driving stability.
A higher-performance suspension (with rear stabilizer) is also available. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
Built for driving on rough terrain

The short front and rear overhangs and ample road clearance give
Terios large approach and departure angles. This reduces the
possibility of damaging the bumpers
when driving over high obstacles
such as large stones or
climbing a rocky hill. |

Dual SRS air bags for added safety
In addition to the standard dual SRS air bags for driver and front
passenger, SRS curtain-shield air bags 
(front and rear seats) and SRS
side air bags (driver and front passenger seats) are available. The
curtain-shield air bags, which deploy from the front pillars and roof
side sections in the event of a strong side impact, cushion
the occupants' heads for protection. The side air bags
also offer protection in the event of a side impact, and a
cut-off switch for the passenger-seat air bag is provided. |
* SRS stands for Supplemental Restraint System.
* The SRS air bags are supplementary devices to the seat
belts. The seat belts must be worn at all times.
* The dual SRS air bags, SRS curtain-shield air bags and SRS
side air bags will not deploy in cases of minor impact.
* In the photo shown, the SRS air bags were intentionally
deployed to show their function, and the front passenger
seat was set to a reclined position. In an actual collision,
only the SRS side air bag on the impact side of the ehicle
will be deployed. |

Body structure designed to protect pedestrians
Terios is designed to minimise the
impact to a pedestrian's head and
legs in the event of an accident. |

Advanced new crash-safety body
To protect occupants in an accident, the cabin has been made
extra-rigid and crushable structures have been used in the body's
front and rear sections to absorb impact. Terios takes crash-safety
design a step further with a structure that disperses the impact
energy from a collision throughout the body frame. Repeated vehicleto-
vehicle crash tests were conducted using vehicles of different sizes
and weights to come up with designs that provide maximum
protection to the occupants of both vehicles. This "mutual-safety
compatible structure"* has been adopted in Terios.
*
In a collision between vehicles of different weights, this concept aims at improving safety in the lighter
vehicle and reducing the heavier vehicle's potential to damage the lighter one, thereby minimising the
damage sustained by both cars.
