FactThis time Taft is an acronym, Tough & Almighty Fun Tool, revived from an Indonesian-market off-roader that last wore it in 2007.
The LA900 Taft is a crossover-styled kei car built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture, replacing the Cast Activa and Cast Sport. It was shown as a prototype at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon and went on sale on 10 June 2020; the name stands for "Tough & Almighty Fun Tool". It comes in X and G grades with the 658 cc KF-VE three-cylinder (52 PS) and as the G Turbo with the KF-DET (64 PS), all with a CVT and front- or four-wheel drive. A large "Sky Feel Top" glass roof panel is standard on every grade.

Its wheelbase grew 35 mm, yet it kept the old 4.6 m turning radius and 180 mm of ground clearance, and its departure angle rose to 50 degrees.
The Hustler under this badge exists because Suzuki chairman Osamu Suzuki heard dinner guests lament the axed Kei crossover and judged there was demand.
