Daihatsu Tanto Exe

The Daihatsu Tanto Exe (Japanese: ダイハツ・タントエグゼ, Daihatsu Tanto Eguze) is a kei car manufactured by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu. The car made its debut at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show and was launched on 24 December 2009, by Daihatsu and 20 April 2010, by Subaru as the Subaru Lucra (Japanese: スバル・ルクラ, Subaru Rukura). It is based on the L375 series Tanto and was designed to compete with models such as the Honda Life, Nissan Moco and Suzuki Wagon R. The Tanto Exe is more comfort-oriented than the standard Tanto which is more oriented for a flexible seat arrangement and maximum interior space.[2] The left sliding door has also been eliminated for a more common side-hinged doors that reduces the weight by 60 kg (132 lb).[3] The Tanto Exe Custom, a more sports-oriented version of the Tanto Exe with sports styling, was launched simultaneously. The Tanto Exe and Tanto Exe Custom are both available in two engine options: a naturally aspirated 658 cc KF-VE and a turbocharged 658 cc KF-DET three-cylinder petrol engines mated to a continuously variable transmission on front-wheel drive models and 4-speed automatic transmission on four-wheel drive models.

The Tanto Exe and Tanto Exe Custom were discontinued on 2 October 2014, due to declining sales caused by the launch of the LA600 series Tanto a year earlier. The discontinuation left the Lucra and Lucra Custom as original Subaru models, even though they were still both being manufactured by Daihatsu. The cars, however, lasted until 1 April 2015, when they were discontinued due to changing tax consumption rules.
