FactTaruna means young in Balinese, chosen for a Terios built with an extended tail just to fit a third row.
The Daihatsu Taruna was a version of the first-generation Terios built by Astra Daihatsu Motor in Sunter, Jakarta for Indonesia, with different styling and an extended rear end able to take third-row seats; "taruna" is the Balinese word for "young". Introduced on 1 July 1999, it began as the short-wheelbase C-series (internal code F500) with dual-side-facing third-row seats in a 5+2 layout, powered by the 1.6-litre carburetted HD-C (as also used in the locally assembled F70 Feroza and Zebra Espass), in CL, CX and CSX grades; the CSR grade with the fuel-injected 1.6-litre HD-E was added in April 2000, and there were CSX Limited and G Limited editions in 1999–2000. In August 2001 Daihatsu added the long-wheelbase F-series (F520, previewed by the TX-F concept at the 2000 Gaikindo Auto Expo) with front-facing third-row seats in FL, FX, FGX and FGZ grades, while the C-series received a fuel-injected 1.5-litre HE-E replacing the HD-C; the HD-E and the CSR and FGZ grades were dropped in 2002. Facelifts came in July 2003, March 2004 (vertical grille, five-seat only C-series) and March 2005 (sold as the Taruna Oxxy), and production ended in late 2006, replaced about a month later by the F700 Terios.
