What is the Daihatsu Cuore?
The Cuore is a small hatchback designed for everyday driving. Its compact size makes it easy to manoeuvre and park, while its place among Daihatsu’s smallest cars reflects the Japanese maker’s long focus on compact motoring.
Two generations appear in the European model history. The sixth-generation L701 ran from 2000 to 2003, and the seventh-generation L276 from 2007 to 2012. The later model continued the Cuore’s role as a small car in Daihatsu’s European range.
