[edit] Overseas
The first-generation Daihatsu Terios is also known as Toyota Cami. In Malaysia and China, the car is locally assembled as the Perodua Kembara under the Perodua badge and the FAW Huali Dario Terios.
The Zotye 2008 is apparently a bootlegged, unauthorized copy of the car, which caused some controversy.
In Indonesia, this car is known as the Daihatsu Taruna which has a longer rear-based body capable of seating 7 people and a different facelift. Newer models are now referred as the "Terios".
