Three Miracles Born from the Voices of Moms and Kids

The new Tanto, a fully remodeled car from Daihatsu, was born. The Tanto is an attractive car with a spacious interior that was launched in 2003 as a new mini car. The new Tanto, which was designed with the voices of mothers and children in mind, seems to be a symbol of a modern heartfelt vehicle.

The first point of the new Tanto is the Miracle Space, which offers the largest interior space, the second is the Miracle Open Door, the first of its kind in a mini car, which combines a center pillar-less structure with sliding doors, and the third is the Miracle Utility, which is great for families raising children. We will thoroughly explain the "impressive space" of the new Tanto based on these three miracle points.

The ultra-long wheelbase of 2,490mm was achieved by positioning the tires at the four corners, resulting in the longest interior of any minicar at 2,160mm.

In addition, the interior width of 1,350 mm, the widest of any minicar, and a generous interior height of 1,355 mm create a vast interior space. The remote-controlled power sliding door and miracle open door are also great features.
