According to reports, the name REX comes from a K-Car model with rear-drive platform launched by Subaru in 1972. In 1982, Subaru introduced the second-generation Rex to use the front-drive platform. In 1985, the car was replaced with a turbocharged engine. After three generations of iterations, production was finally announced in 1992. The release of the new car official chart means that the classic car will be officially revived. In addition, when it comes to Dafa Rocky, you may not be very familiar with it, but if you change to Dafa Automobile, I believe you will know. Dafa Automobile is a Toyota company specializing in small cars. Dafa Rocky is the first model launched by Dafa Rocky in 1990, equipped with four-wheel drive system and three-door SUV. Dafa launched a doorless small SUV based on DNGA-D platform in 2019, that is, the current Dafa Rocky, and its sister model on the same platform is Toyota Raize. Toyota Raize market is hotter than Dafa Rocky.

According to the new generation Rex official chart released by Subaru, the appearance and interior of the new car are basically the same as those of Daihatsu Rocky and Toyota Raize, both of which have car logo differences, but the previous market performance of both Daihatsu Rocky and Toyota Raize is very mediocre, and it is not expected that the new car will have too amazing sales performance after its launch in the Japanese home market.
