The Daihatsu YRV (Japanese: ダイハツ・YRV (ワイアールブイ), Daihatsu Waiārubui) is a mini MPV which was manufactured by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu from 2000 to 2005. The name "YRV" is an abbreviation for "Young Recreational Vehicle".[1] The YRV is based on the contemporary Daihatsu Storia/Sirion; it offered a sportier character, nimbler handling, and more powerful engine options than its period competitors in the Japanese market.[2]
