Daihatsu Ayla (facelift 2017). With 108 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 857 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling.

1.2 (88 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 1.2L engine provides a noticeable improvement in power and torque, offering more confident acceleration and better highway cruising ability compared to the 1.0L. Manual transmission maximizes its potential.

Still very fuel-efficient for its class, offering a good balance between performance and economy. Slightly less economical than the 1.0L but justifiable for the added power.
