Toyota is known for its rebadging synergies in certain markets around the world, including Indonesia, where the automaker just launched the second-generation Agya. The city car shares almost all of its styling and underpinnings with the Daihatsu Ayla and Perodua Axia, although it’s the only model available in GR Sport with aggressive styling and chassis upgrades.
Visually, the Toyota Agya tries to stand out from its siblings, the Daihatsu and Perodua, which admittedly look more alike. This is achieved through the redesigned bumper with a huge grille flanked by sporty air intakes and slightly modified headlights. In addition, the GR Sport features a more aggressive body kit with larger air intakes and aerodynamic enhancements to the bumpers and side skirts in combination with 15-inch alloy wheels.

Like all triplets, the Toyota Agya is based on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) and is 3,760 mm long (148 in), 1,665 mm (65.6 in) wide and 1,550 mm (61 in) high with a wheelbase of 2,525 mm (99.4 inches). That’s 60 mm (2.4 inches) longer than the EU-spec Toyota Aygo X and a whopping 180 mm (7.1 inches) shorter than the global-spec Toyota Yaris. The Toyota Agya GR Sport pictured is slightly longer than the smaller trims at 3,830 mm (150.8 in) due to the special body kit.
Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 1.2-liter, three-cylinder, dual VVT-i, three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 87 hp (65 kW / 88 hp) and 113 Nm (83 lb-ft) of torque. This is the only powertrain available for the Toyota, although the Daihatsu and Perodua also come with a less powerful 1.0-litre engine. The mill can be mated to either a five-speed manual or a CVT automatic that sends power to the front axle. The GR Sport trim doesn’t get any performance upgrades over the smaller trims, but does benefit from a sportier chassis tune to go along with the aggressive looks and more generous equipment.
Speaking of features, the Agya GR Sport is jam-packed by segment standards. The model features LED headlights, paddle shifters for the simulated gears of the CVT, an 8-inch touchscreen for infotainment, GR badging (seats, leather steering wheel and side skirts), red stitching, a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, a wireless charging pad, power folding mirrors, a dash cam and a “premium horn” that probably makes it seem more expensive than the average city car. Don’t expect ADAS, however, as the safety kit is limited to a couple of airbags.
The Toyota Agya can be ordered from as little as 167,900,000 Indonesian rupiah ($10,892), although the flagship GR Sport will sell for 237,500,000 Indonesian rupiah ($15,406).

Visually, the Toyota Agya is trying to differentiate itself from its Daihatsu and Perodua siblings which admittedly look more similar to each other. This is achieved by the redesigned bumper featuring a huge grille flanked by sporty faux intakes and slightly different headlights. Furthermore, the GR Sport features a more aggressive bodykit including larger faux intakes and aerodynamic extensions on the bumpers and side sills, combined with 15-inch alloy wheels."
