Toyota Duet

Overview

The Toyota Duet was produced from 1998 to 2004. The model is essentially the Daihatsu Storia (Sirion) sold under the Toyota brand. The "tall wagon" concept — a spacious cabin despite small exterior dimensions — made this model an excellent choice for urban drivers. The 1.0L 1SZ-FE engine (70 hp) is the standard power unit.

The Duet arrived in Azerbaijan through parallel imports. Its compact dimensions (length 3,650 mm), high seating position, and economical engine make it very convenient in the narrow Baku city traffic. The 4AT automatic transmission is comfortable for city driving.

Service options for the Duet in Azerbaijan are limited — parts shared with the Daihatsu Storia exist, but specific body elements can be hard to find. Since the 1SZ-FE engine is shared with bB and Vitz models, engine parts can be sourced. Suitable for those seeking a small, economical, maneuverable city car.
