The major difference between the Japanese Boon and Sirion are automatic version where the gear-changing located beside the steering on the dashboard and the handbrake below the steering. The Japanese Boon both have front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive version. A 1.0 L turbo version with AWD is also available known as Boon X4.

The Boon/Passo was designed for European tastes and the model took on a larger and stockier frame. It weighs about 940 kg (2,072 lb). With the back seats down, its luggage capacity increases from 225 L (8 cu ft) to 630 L (22 cu ft).

On May 25, 2005, Malaysian automaker Perodua launched a variant of the Boon/Passo known as the Perodua Myvi. Sporting a few cosmetic differences, the Myvi became Perodua's best-selling car in Malaysia for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

On December 25, 2006, the Boon/Passo was restyled. This version was exported to Europe as the Sirion in 2007.

In 2007, Daihatsu launched the Boon/Passo in Indonesia using the facility and parts from the Myvi.

The Subaru Justy was unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show using the Sirion/Passo model. It is positioned as an entry-level model in Subaru’s lineup.

Daihatsu and Toyota launched an extended 7-seater version of the Boon and Passo called the Boon Luminas (Japanese: ダイハツ・ブーン ルミナス, Daihatsu Būn Ruminasu) and Passo Sette (Japanese: トヨタ・パッソ セッテ, Toyota Passo Sette) in Japan on December 2008. "Sette" means "seven" in Italian, referring to the car's 7-seater capability. The Passo Sette and Boon Luminas were discontinued in early 2012 due to poor sales. The Malaysian variant was launched in the country as the Perodua Alza.

In April 2013, Toyota New Zealand announced its decision to stop selling the second generation Sirion, still on sale, stating it was unable to secure Daihatsu products that comply with future regulatory standards for New Zealand.

The second generation Sirion was discontinued in South Africa in April 2015, when Daihatsu left the South African market.
