The Daihatsu Taft (an acronym for "Tough & Almighty Fun Tool") is a rugged, boxy crossover that falls into Japan's Kei car category. Its design language is heavily inspired by off-roaders, featuring squared-off wheel arches, high ground clearance, and chunky plastic cladding. The model in the photos is the LA900S (2WD version).
