Toyota has launched a new special edition model in Japan based on the Passo subcompact hatch, which is essentially a rebadged Daihatsu Boon.
Called the Passo Moda Charm, the special version is based on the Moda trim level and appears designed to appeal to women buyers. Available from April 7 in Japan, the Toyota Passo Moda Charm features styling and comfort upgrades, with the most obvious being the Juicy Pink Metallic paint.
There’s a total of five exterior colors available, each available with an optional contrasting roof. The pink one clearly reminds us of the Daihatsu Boon Style, another JDM special that appears to have served as inspiration for the Passo Moda Charm.

Inside, the Passo Moda Charm adopts synthetic leather and fabric covers with colored accents for the seats, while the driver’s seat also comes equipped with a heater. In addition, the car features a Navi Ready package with panoramic view monitor and a super UV cut package consisting of green glass for the windshield and front windows and privacy glass for the rear windows.
As with all other Toyota Passo models, the special edition version is powered by a 1.0-liter naturally-aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine making 69 PS (68 HP) and 92 Nm (68 lb-ft) of torque. The power plant is mated to a CVT that drives the front wheels – AWD model is available as an option.
Prices for the Toyota Passo Moda Charm start at 1,617,000 yen ($14,850) for the FWD version and 1,793,000 yen ($16,460) for the AWD model.
