About Daihatsu Boon

The Daihatsu Boon (Japanese: ダイハツ・ブーン, Hepburn: Daihatsu Būn) is a subcompact car produced by Japanese automaker Daihatsu since 2004, and also sold under Toyota brand as the Toyota Passo (Japanese: トヨタ・パッソ, Hepburn: Toyota Passo) between 2004 and the ends of 2023. The Passo was once sold at Toyota Corolla Store Japanese dealerships until it was consolidated with other Toyota dealers in 2020. Outside Japan, the first- and second-generation Boon is sold as the second- and third-generation Sirion. The first-generation Sirion was sold as the Storia in Japan. According to Daihatsu, the name "Boon" is derived from the English word boon, and also inspired by the sound that Japanese children make when imitating the sound of a car, while the name "Passo" is Italian for "step".
