It was based on the L375 series Tanto and designed to compete with models such as the Honda Life, Nissan Moco and Suzuki Wagon R. The Tanto Exe was more comfort-oriented than the standard Tanto which more oriented for a flexible seat arrangement and maximum interior space.[4] The left sliding door had also been eliminated for a more common side-hinged doors that reduces the weight by 60 kg (132 lb).[5] The Tanto Exe/Lucra Custom, a sports-oriented version of the Tanto Exe/Lucra with sports styling, was also available. The Tanto Exe/Lucra series was available in two engine options: a naturally aspirated 658 cc KF-VE and a turbocharged 658 cc KF-DET three-cylinder petrol units mated to a continuously variable transmission on front-wheel drive models and 4-speed automatic unit on four-wheel drive models.
The Tanto Exe series was discontinued on 2 October 2014, due to declining sales caused by the launch of the LA600 series Tanto a year earlier. The Lucra series followed later on 1 April 2015 due to changing tax consumption rules.
