- Stock of 2025 models is limited; 2026 models are now available but with price adjustments due to registration fees
- Customers can negotiate prices and get cashback offers
- Dealers provide free emergency service and trade-in options for all car brands
- Remote key folding mirrors are convenient but lack full smart entry convenience
Comparisons
- Compared to 1.5L variant, 1.3L manual lacks engine damper and some advanced safety features
- No major changes from 2025 model; essentially a carryover with updated registration (NIK 2026)
- Pricing reflects registration fee increases rather than feature upgrades
Overall Verdict
The 2026 Daihatsu All New Xenia 1.3 R Manual is largely unchanged from the 2025 model, maintaining its practical and sporty design with a good balance of features for its segment. It offers a modern digital instrument cluster, a comprehensive infotainment system, and practical interior storage, making it suitable for families needing a versatile MPV with manual transmission.
However, it lacks some modern conveniences such as smart entry, advanced safety features (beyond dual airbags and ABS), and interior soft-touch materials. The third row remains cramped, and some comfort features like seat height adjustment and airflow control are absent.
If you prioritize reliability, affordability, and a decent feature set with the option of manual driving, the 2026 Xenia 1.3 R remains a solid choice. Buyers should consider dealer promotions to get the best deal and be aware that the price increase mainly reflects updated registration costs rather than new features.
Additional Notes from Speakers
- Sales consultant Dita emphasized attractive promotions including low down payments, 0% interest, trade-in deals, and free emergency services
- The reviewer (Andi Pras) focused on detailed feature breakdown and confirmed no changes from 2025
- Both encouraged potential buyers to contact the dealer for best offers and stock availability
