Full specifications for the seventh-generation Daihatsu Cuore (L276, 2007–2012) — the 1.0-liter three-cylinder (1KR-FE) city car sold across Europe. The column below is taken from this car’s own factory labels (VIN/data plate, tire-pressure placard and engine decal), its Dutch RDW registration record and published manufacturer data. Confirm anything critical against your own car’s papers and door-pillar label.
Each column is one specific vehicle taken from its Certificate of Conformity — a single engine and, where shown, body style. Dimensions and weights are specific to that body and engine; other body styles (hatchback, saloon, estate, coupé, etc.) differ, so match the column to your own car.

Sources: Workshop data · Owner's manual. Where an owner’s manual or homologation figure exists it takes precedence; workshop data fills only what those omit. † A safety-critical figure (wheel-nut torque, spark-plug gap or A/C refrigerant) is shown only when an OEM manual or factory service manual confirms it — otherwise it is withheld; always use the official figures for your car.
A dash (—) means we haven’t yet verified that figure for that variant, not that it doesn’t exist. Figures tagged to the car’s own labels are first-hand; engine and economy figures are published manufacturer data for the 1.0 1KR-FE model.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Daihatsu Cuore L276 weigh?
About 840 kg in running order, with a gross vehicle weight limit of 1,250 kg and 650 kg permitted on each axle.
What are its dimensions?
It is 3,470 mm long, 1,475 mm wide (excluding mirrors) and 1,530 mm tall, on a 2,490 mm wheelbase — a genuinely small city car.
How economical is it?
About 4.4 l/100km combined (104 g/km CO² on the NEDC test) from a 36-liter tank, which is why it carries an energy-label A rating.
What tire size and pressures does it use?
The standard size is 145/80 R13 75S, inflated to 2.2 bar (220 kPa / 31 psi) front and rear. The temporary spare (T105/70 D14) takes 4.2 bar (420 kPa / 60 psi). Always set pressures to the label on your own car’s door pillar.
Can it tow?
Yes — it is rated to 600 kg braked and 250 kg unbraked, with a 1,850 kg maximum combination weight. That suits a small trailer only.
Disclaimer: Figures are typical for the generation and may vary by market, trim and options. Always confirm critical figures (weights, towing, tire sizes) against your own vehicle’s documents.
