Daihatsu Boon 2nd Gen

2010 – 2016

The Daihatsu Boon is a subcompact car manufactured by Japanese automaker Daihatsu since 2004. It is also sold under the Toyota brand as the Toyota Passo from 2004 to 2023. The Passo was originally available at Toyota Corolla Store dealerships in Japan until it was merged with other Toyota dealers in 2020. In markets outside Japan, the Daihatsu Boon is known as the Sirion, with the first and second generations of the Boon corresponding to the second and third generations of the Sirion, respectively. Additionally, the first-generation Sirion was marketed as the Storia in Japan. The name "Boon" chosen by Daihatsu is derived from the English term "boon" and also reflects the sound Japanese children make when imitating the sound of cars. On the other hand, the name "Passo," used by Toyota, is Italian and translates to "step."
