The Daihatsu Sigra (also called Toyota Calya) is a mini MPV designed by Daihatsu and manufactured by Astra Daihatsu in Indonesia since 2016. It was based on Daihatsu's UFC-3 concept car that was presented at the 2014 Indonesia International Motor Show in Jakarta and shares the platform with the Daihatsu's Ayla and Toyota's Agya. It uses the same 1.2-liter 3NR-VE engine as the Toyota's Etios Valco with Dual VVT-i and 1.0-liter 1KR-VE as the Ayla with VVT-i (used in Sigra only). Its engine codes use -VE suffix instead of -FE because both engines are also used in Daihatsu cars, as Daihatsu did for their engine code in 2015-facelifted Xenia and its rebadged version Avanza.[2] It sits below the Toyota's Avanza and Daihatsu's Xenia and competes with the Datsun Go+. It was unveiled on 2 August 2016 and launched at the 24th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show on 11 August 2016.

The name "Calya" was taken from the Sanskrit word meaning "perfect", while "Sigra" means "fast response".[3]
