Daihatsu Rocky Hybrid Import Information

Daihatsu Rocky Hybrid Import Information and SEVS import eligibility for Australia

The November 2021+ Daihatsu Rocky hybrid 1.2 L (A202S model) 5-door ‘subcompact crossover’ SUV can be imported to Australia.

The Daihatsu Rocky hybrid is a rebadged version of the A200 series Toyota Raize hybrid and Subaru Rex hybrid, and is almost identical to the Raize other than the Daihatsu front fascia styling.

Model options in Japan are the X HEV and top spec Premium G HEV (new price 10% higher than the X).

The new prices from Daihatsu Japan (January 2024) below are for reference only. Secondhand pricing will be substantially cheaper over time.

In 2024 the Rocky X was available in eight monotone colours and the Rocky Premium G was available in the same eight monotone colours plus three extra two-tone colours.

Contact us for current availability and pricing if you would like to import your own Rocky hybrid to Australia.

The Rocky can be customised with a range of Modellista bodykit and interior upgrades.

The Rocky hybrid uses a newly-developed 1198 cc WA-VEX DDT petrol engine together with E1A electric motor and a 4.3 Ah lithium-ion battery.

Daihatsu claims Rocky hybrid fuel consumption is 34.8 km/L (2.87 L/100 km) in JC08 mode or 28.0 km/L (3.57 L/100 km) in WLTC mode.

Entertainment functions include Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

There is a good selection of Rocky hybrid models going through auction in Japan every week – we can assist with the entire process from choosing the best example to shipping it to Australia.

We specialise in direct car import from Japan and have been sourcing vehicles to order for private Australian buyers for over 25 years.

Every vehicle is hand-picked and we only source the very best.

We make Daihatsu Rocky hybrid import easy with physical inspections of vehicles by experienced staff at over 30 auctions every week in the Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, and Kyushu / Fukuoka regions.

We start by focusing only on vehicles with the highest auction grades. But there is a lot more involved than just basic auction grading !

Auction reports are often not reliable – we inspect every vehicle of interest in person to ensure it is up to our standard and has the options and features you want.

Most people even in Japan do not realise that a significant % of vehicles in Japan are bought and sold by Japanese dealers for a quick profit between different auctions. If you are not aware of this you will almost certainly pay more than you needed to for exactly the same car.

Our experience with this situation alone will often save you more than the cost of our service fee.

Our import agent service includes a pre-check for past auction records using JCHC, at no cost to you. This allows us to rule out cars recently auctioned and simply moved to a different auction for quick resale, graded R (accident repair) cars changed to higher grades, as well as cars that have passed in unsold multiple times indicating a problem with the condition and/or price.

Our thorough Japan auction inspections include checks of engine, transmission, air conditioning / electrics plus pictures inside, outside and underneath showing options / features and any condition issues. Just like the auction history checks, in-person inspections at auction are all part of our service – no extra charge.

Following these rules and being very selective on quality allows us to consistently target first-time auctioned vehicles for our clients in the best condition and at the best price.

We also ensure that any outstanding factory recalls are completed prior to export from Japan, which is essential before import to Australia / SEVS compliance. *Recall work is free in Japan and will be arranged at no extra charge before your vehicle goes to the Port, but please note there will be a small transport charge (generally $200 to $300) to send the vehicle to the nearest Daihatsu dealer.

Once your Rocky hybrid has been exported from Japan all original paperwork and additional items such as spare keys and books are sent to you by EMS. This includes the Export Certificate (showing up to the last two re-registration inspection dates and odometer readings, depending on vehicle age) for your peace of mind.

How our import process works.

Our automated auction alerts system ensures you never miss a suitable car.
