Daihatsu Rocky A200S — Import to Australia
The Daihatsu Rocky A200S is a compact SUV built around a turbocharged three-cylinder engine, giving it lively performance and strong fuel economy in a footprint under 4 metres long. It suits buyers who want genuine SUV styling and seating position without the size or running costs of a larger import.
This model is one of the vehicles covered under our complete car import service.
Key Features
Turbocharged Efficiency: 996cc 1KR-VET turbocharged three-cylinder engine paired with a CVT, giving lively performance for its size alongside strong fuel economy.
Compact SUV Footprint: a five-door SUV body under 4 metres long, ideal for tight parking and narrow streets while still offering genuine SUV styling and seating position.
Modern Safety Features: Smart Assist driver aid suite available on later builds, including pre-collision braking and lane departure warning.
Front or All-Wheel Drive: available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, depending on the specific build sourced.
Why Import the Daihatsu Rocky A200S from Japan?
The Daihatsu Rocky A200S was never sold new in Australia. Importing a used example from Japan gives buyers access to a genuinely compact, efficient turbocharged SUV with modern safety features, typically at a fraction of the cost of a comparable new small SUV, sourced through trusted Japanese auction sources.
