Driver Insights
Based on feedback from Sri Lankan owners, the Baleno is seen as a practical upgrade from entry-level hatchbacks. It offers better cabin space and daily comfort without significantly increasing running costs.
The Daihatsu Hijet 2013 is a testament to the enduring appeal of compact, no-nonsense utility vehicles. While it might not be the go-to choice for a comfortable family drive, as a workhorse, it's hard to fault, especially in urban environments.
