Small improvements were made on the Terios in 2000. The more expensive models were fitted with electric windows at the front and a central locking system on all doors. Alloy wheels, roof rails, roof mounted spoilers and rear seat head restraints are also added. More powerful DOHC engines replaced the older SOHC power plants.
