[edit] 1st Generation (2003 - Present)
The model is a five-door MPV with a FR layout. It features a 1.3-litre gasoline engine with a maximum output of 67 kW (92 PS) at 6000 rpm, and a 1.5-litre gasoline engine that produces 80 kW (109 PS) at 6000 rpm.
A special version of the Avanza was launched in late 2004 using a more powerful VVT-i unit. The special edition was also equipped with an automatic transmission. Only 200 units of the Avanza special edition were made.[citation needed]
The Avanza was restyled near the end of the third quarter of 2006 with a new grille, new bumpers, a new interior, and new front and rear lamps.[3] The 2006 model New Avanza S also has a new engine, a 1.5-litre 16-valve DOHC VVT-i gasoline engine (similar to the Toyota Rush) along with the new ABS braking system.
In Malaysia, the Avanza is available as a 1.5G in automatic transmission, and 1.3E in both automatic and manual transmission.
In the Philippines, the Avanza is offered since 2006 with 2 trim levels, a 'J' line with a 1.3 engine, and having no power windows and locks, and only available with a manual transmission. while the 'G' line has a 1.5 engine, power features mated to a 5-speed Manual transmission or a 4-speed Automatic transmission. In 2008, the Avanza line was being revamped, which added a J line is available without the 3rd row seat, which was popular among taxi fleets. Avanzas are also used as metered taxicabs in the Philippines; although it is often mistaken as an end-to-end passenger vehicle, like its Tamaraw FX (Kijang) and Revo ancestors.[citation needed]
The Avanza was updated in 2008 with a new ceiling with grooves to improve airflow to the rear and a new interior colour scheme.[4]

The Avanza's twin model is the Daihatsu Xenia, the only Daihatsu to use two engines - the 1.3-litre EFI similar to the Avanza's, and a three-cylinder 1.0-litre with power and torque rating at 63 PS (62 hp/46 kW) at 5600 rpm and 92 N·m (68 lb·ft) at 3600 rpm. [1]
In China, Daihatsu together with First Automobile Works (FAW) launch the Xenia on 21 June 2007. Production in China will be carried out at FAW Jilin Auto.[2] The Daihatsu Xenia is using 1.3 and 1.5-litre[3] EFI similar to the Avanza's.
