The Daihatsu Applause is built from June 1989 to May 2000 sedan of the lower middle class .

Although the vehicle has a notchback , the tailgate is hinged above the window ( liftback ). The concept of the stepped rear with a large tailgate was also adopted in 1991 in the Seat Toledo . The Škoda Superb II took up this idea again in 2008 and refined it with a two-part tailgate.

Model variants

Over the entire production period, the Applause was only offered in one body variant. At the beginning of 1993 there was a slight revision, which included a changed front. In mid-1997, the Applause underwent an extensive model upgrade. He received a chrome grille , the interior was upgraded and got a more modern rear. At the same time, the center of gravity was noticeably higher, which impaired the driving dynamics.

In mid-2000, the Applause was taken out of the program due to falling sales. The car was considered very robust and reliable. In old age, the fixed rear brake calipers, which could not be replaced economically, proved to be the Achilles' heel.
