Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Daihatsu”) has added a new X “Special” grade to its Tanto mini passenger vehicle line-up. The new grade will go on sale nationwide on June 17.

Following its launch in 2003, the Tanto established a new category of “extra-space mini vehicles,” thanks to the outstanding spaciousness and ease-of-use of its cabin. The first*1 mini vehicle to be equipped with the Miracle Open Door with built-in pillar, and featuring Power Sliding Doors on both sides of the vehicle, the Tanto is highly regarded by customers.

The current-generation Tanto was launched in July 2019 as part one of the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA), the company’s next-generation approach to creating cars. Developed on the theme of “a life partner for a new age,” the Tanto is a high-quality, affordably priced vehicle that caters to the needs of customers of all ages. The model is equipped with a full range of advanced safety equipment, including Smart Assist*2; indeed, every aspect of the Tanto has evolved significantly, both from a functional and performance perspective.

Now, a new X “Special” grade has been added to the Tanto line-up. Based on the X grade, the X “Special” grade retains the Miracle Walkthrough Package, which uses the functionality of the Long-Sliding Driver’s Seat and Miracle Open Door to offer smooth in-car movement; however, the grade’s other equipment has been partially reviewed, so expanding customer choice at more attractive price-points than the base X grade.

Based on its “Light you up” approach, going forward Daihatsu will continue to provide optimal mobility to every one of its customers, and cater to their needs via its extended range of mini vehicles and compact cars.

*2 Some functions are only available as manufacturer’s options. The Smart Assist active safety system aims to provide driving support, and there are limits to its capabilities; depending on road surface and weather conditions, there may be occasions when Smart Assist does not operate. Drivers should not over-estimate the system’s capabilities. For further details, please see your local sales company, or visit the official Daihatsu website.
