All New Daihatsu Terios Driving Comfort

Astra Daihatsu Motor (ADM) tested the comfort of the All New Daihatsu Terios in Padang, West Sumatra, on January 11-12 2018. In testing, we felt comfortable in the driver's seat and was quite spacious compared to the previous version. from Terios. This is because the console box is made slightly backwards so that the driver's room is wider.

However, the negative effect is that passengers in the second row sitting in the seats have to spread their legs apart to get a comfortable sitting position, because the console box is only a few centimeters ahead of the middle row of the second row.

Not only are the sensors installed on the front, side and rear of the car, for some people it is annoying because they can be heard if there are other vehicles nearby that are quite close. However, the front sensor is quite annoying if the vehicle is at a red light or in a traffic jam, the sensor will keep ringing because there are many vehicles nearby.

Regarding the sound of this sensor, users don't need to worry, because Daihatsu has embedded a button near the steering wheel to turn the sensor off and on.

When trying the All New Daihatsu Terios, the engine sound can still be heard in the cabin, especially if you step on the gas pedal to above 3,000 rpm. This car is equipped with carpet absorbers along with sound absorbers.

When trying the All New Daihatsu Terios, a comfortable impression is felt because this car is equipped with several improvements to the suspension. Daihatsu provides seven enhancements to the suspension which include Front Stabilizer, Rear Stabilizer, increased diameter per-shock breaker, reset diameter constant, changes in caster angle, Reinforced Body, and stiffness.

In addition to changes in some parts of the suspension, the car's longer dimensions than the previous version also claim Daihatsu makes the car more stable, one of the main focuses in designing this car was to improve quality stability.

The results of the improvement were very maximal. On hilly roads and on some damaged roads, the car is running quite stable, the shock in the cabin is not very pronounced, both in rows one, two and three. The shock you feel can still be considered normal.

When passing speed bumps, the bottom of the car is not thrown by speed bumps. According to Daihatsu, before it was launched, it had measured the limit of clarity with the average speed bump. The goal, so that the car does not get hit by the speed bumps.

When maneuvering on a fairly steep hillside, the car does not lose control and remains stable. This is because this car has been equipped with Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) technology which allows the car to be safer when maneuvering in slippery corners or roads.

This car's braking system is also quite good because it is supported by ABS technology and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) which makes maximum braking performance with a grip on each wheel.

Drivers who drive on uphill roads are also facilitated by Hill-Start Assist (HSA) technology. This technology makes the All New Daihatsu Terios position last for three seconds on an uphill road when the car suddenly stops. This helps minimize driver panic before turning the car backwards.
