Daihatsu will introduced the new technology in a fuel-efficient vehicle model due to be released in September this year. The company anticipates that it will be the only gasoline-powered vehicle delivering fuel economy of 30 kilometers per liter (equivalent to 71 mpg US or 3.3 L/100km) in JC08 mode. Running resistance lowered.

All of the engines employ direct fuel injection and turbocharging. This downsizing concept coupled with energy recuperation and stop-start technologies from the Audi modular efficiency platform give them fuel consumption ranging from 3.8 liters of fuel per 100 km (46.1 mph) and offers fuel economy of 3.8
