Toyota Calya: Indonesia's seven-seater MPV and what you need to know
The Toyota Calya is an affordable seven-seater MPV developed by Daihatsu and sold in Indonesia and other Southeast Asian markets. We take a look at what this car is all about, its engines, and what to know if one turns up in Lithuania.
Calya in brief
The Calya is Toyota's version of the same car sold as the Daihatsu Sigra. It's designed for Indonesia's LCGC (Low Cost Green Car) programme, so the main goal is an accessible price and spacious interior.
It's a compact seven-seater MPV with simple tech and a small body. It's not officially sold in Europe.
Who's it for?
The Calya is aimed at families and small businesses needing plenty of seats for a modest price. Thanks to its light construction and simple mechanics, it's economical.
Don't expect sporty driving or luxury: this is a straightforward, practical, and affordable car.
Engines and gearboxes
The Calya is offered with 1.0 and 1.2-litre petrol engines. The gearbox is a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic, with rear-wheel drive.
Check the exact power figures and specs for your specific car, as they vary by year and trim.
What to check if a Calya comes up for sale
First, registration possibility and paperwork: it's an import car, might have right-hand drive, and may not meet European standards. Find out if it can be legally registered.
Inspect the body and undercarriage for rust, check the condition of the engine and gearbox. Parts are often ordered from abroad, so check their price and availability in advance.
