Daihatsu reveals the Tanto Exe compact MPV
Not to be confused with a Windows application, the Tanto Exe is a flagship variant of the Tanto compact MPV by Daihatsu. Compared to the Tanto, the Exe version features a reduced weight (by about 60 kilograms) which contributes to better fuel efficiency. It is also treated to different design cues here and there. There is also a range topping CUSTOM version with, among others, a large front bumper, side stone guard, and plated front grill.
The Tanto Exe with a wheelbase of 2490 mm features a 58hp KF-VE 3-cylinder engine (twin cam, DVVT) that is mated to a CVT transmission. In the X “Special”, X, G, CUSTOM X and CUSTOM G trim levels, the Tanto Exe delivers 21.5 kilometers with a liter of fuel (10-15 Japanese test cycle). Exhaust emissions is 75% lower than the 2005 standards hence buyers can enjoy a 50% tax reduction in Japan.
The L, S and CUSTOM S trim levels feature the same engine but with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Instead of 2WD system, these models feature a 4WD configuration. Fuel consumption is rated at 18.2 km/l. The top of the line CUSTOM RS, available in both 2WD and 4WD forms is powered by a 64hp KF-DET 3-cylinder turbocharged unit (twin-cam) paired with a CVT. This version delivers 19 kilometers with a liter of fuel.
The Tanto Exe also comes with ABS, EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution) and Brake Assist as standard (optional for Tanto Exe L). There are also dual-stage SRS airbags for the driver’s and passenger’s seat. Daihatsu plans to sell 4,000 units monthly in Japan as prices range from 1.076 million yen to 1.268 million yen for Tanto Exe and from 1.286 million yen to 1.610 million yen for Tanto Exe CUSTOM.
